Tie-Dye Dress for Under $25

By this point, you guys know how much I love tie-dye! I never thought I would jump on this bandwagon, but it’s such a fun trend I couldn’t not. You can read more about my thoughts on tie-dye here, but let’s talk about this cute dress.

First, who doesn’t love a $25 price tag? Especially if you’re a little wary about this trend and its longevity, this is an easy way to try it out without committing a substantial amount. But even better than the price is the material! I kid you not, this dress is basically a gigantic sweatshirt and feels like you’re wearing pajamas. I could 100% wear it as a dressier version of lounge clothes.

Because the tie-dye dress is such a statement maker itself, I kept the rest of the outfit super simple, but springy. Read: I threw on my favorite shoes of the moment. There is absolutely nothing better than a pair of slip on white leather sneakers. I wore this pair for a solid year and half almost every single day (even in winter!) until they got so gross I had to get rid of them. Now, I’m wearing this pair from Frye and I might love them even more. But really, you can’t go wrong with either pair.

So that’s today’s short and sweet post. I can’t recommend this dress enough. If you liked this post, leave me a comment below!

3 Spring Trends I Can Get Behind

3 Spring Trends I Can Get Behind

I think I’ve been saying this every day, but I am so, so ready for spring! I always feel like there’s a fashion slump right after Christmas where I feel so uninspired. And when February finally roles around, I start to embrace all things pink which has me longing for spring clothes. So, while I live in a fantasy land where it’s warm and sunny, I thought I should share the top three spring trends I’m loving and shopping for!

1. Tie-Dye

So this is probably my favorite trend this season. I’ve been sharing tie-dye pieces non-stop since the beginning of January, and have already started adding to my own collection. I love that you can incorporate this trend in so many ways. From tops to dresses to accessories, etc. there are so many options!

2. Neon

Bright, neon colors are having a moment, especially sherbet orange and hot pink! I’m a little wary of highlighter greens and yellows, but still think they can be so cute!

3. Crochet

Crochet is a new trend that I haven’t seen much of in the past, but I’m here for it! It’s definitely a 70s throwback, but with a modern twist. Crochet also gives off a boho vibe that is so fun for spring, especially during concert and festival season. I can’t wait to wear it!

Thanks for reading! Let me know what your favorite spring trend is in the comments below!

A Dainty Detail: Tie-Dye

by Carey SpenceLeave a Comment on A Dainty Detail: Tie-Dye

I’m back again this Friday to bring you another installment of A Dainty Detail. This week I thought I had to share the trend that’s been blowing up my Instagram feed this summer—tie-dye. I will admit it took me a little while to get on board with this trend. I kept having weird, middle school field day throwbacks and just couldn’t do it. But then, I started seeing some of the chicest outfits on my feed featuring none other than this bright trend. What actually finally sold me on it was a simple look: a tie-dye tee with jeans and sandals. From there I was hooked!

Going along with my initial hesitance I also will say that I’m pretty picky when it comes to a tie-dye print. You can easily look tacky in the super bright and super colorful combinations, but there are also some subtly sophisticated prints too. Here are some tie-dye pieces that are The Dainty Details approved!

 

What do you think of the tie-dye trend? Do you love it or hate it?
