Helping women love what they wear on a budget

The Perfect Black Dress for Spring

February 18, 2018 by Katie Haller

People always think of spring dresses as floral prints and bright colors, but not for me.  For me, my go-to spring dress is always a black dress.  I can’t find anything wrong with the color black.  It’s slimming, versatile, you can wear it year-round.  A black dress is always a safe way to ease me out of my winter clothes and into my spring dresses.

 *This post is part of a collaboration with PinkBlush.  As always opinions are 100% my own. 

I have a million back dresses in my closet (not literally, but I have A LOT of back dresses!!) That’s why I wanted to find something a little more trendy.  I wanted a back dress that was different than just a sleeveless black sundress.  My go-to place for affordable trendy clothes is always PinkBlush.  This black cold shoulder dress (HERE) is exactly what I was looking for.  I love the exposed shoulders.  As a mom of a toddler, it’s hard to wear dresses that are off the shoulder, but this dress is perfect because it has a high neckline and off the shoulder sleeves.  For the look below, I wore peep-toe booties, which I think are the perfect shoes for transitioning out of winter and into spring (or transitioning out of summer into fall).  To accessorize, I felt like my leopard print clutch was the perfect way to add a pop to the black dress.
