Often times you have to choose between comfort and style, but not in this case. This dress is so loose, flowy and easier to move around in. It comes without the belt, but I like to cinch my waist to add some definition to my smaller frame. I wore it a couple weeks ago for an Oscar viewing party and brought it out again last weekend – I think it will be making several more appearances this spring! Colorblocking, strategic cutouts and an interesting neckline: all my favorite things in a dress.

Hope you all had a great weekend. I had a quick but fun trip to NYC and San Francisco this week and am ready to settle back in at home. To those of you who wrote such sweet happy birthday comments on my Instagram posts – thank you!
