THESE 5 DRESSES MADE ME EXCITED TO GET DRESSED AGAIN

There’s something about slipping into a beautiful dress that can completely shift your mood. Lately, I’ve been craving pieces that feel a little extra special. Dresses that make everyday moments feel like something worth celebrating. And after recently losing 7 pounds (more on that soon!), I’ve felt a renewed confidence that’s made getting dressed each day a lot more fun. These 5 dresses made me excited to get dressed again. Each one made me smile, feel more like myself.

They’re the kinds of dresses I plan to wear on Nantucket and to special occasions this summer. Whether it’s a dinner out with my husband, an outdoor gathering with family, or just a beautiful evening stroll. If you’re looking for a dress that brings joy, ease, and timeless beauty to your summer wardrobe, I think you’ll love these too.

P.S. If you’re loving summer style, don’t miss the second post I shared today—I styled the new Fisherman Aesthetic with nautical charm and coastal grandma vibes.

1. The Blue & White Embroidered Dress

This blue and white embroidered dress from Sézane instantly reminded me of everything I love about coastal summer style. Effortless, timeless, and a little bit nostalgic. The soft cotton and intricate embroidery make it feel so special. Like something you’d wear on a golden evening stroll on Nantucket or while picking up pastries at your favorite café. I’d style its with my new favorite flower drop earrings, this gorgeous floral raffia bag, and these leather bow sandals. (fits true to size)
