If it's one thing spring has to offer (of the many fabulous things, like tulips, days in the park, sandals!) it's that I can break out my floral dress outfit.  I got this fun spring dress from Eliza J at Nordstrom and plan to wear it on my trip to Sayulita, Mexico next week!

Here is how I'd pair a floral dress outfit for a warm weather vacation.  For a casual look, layer with a jean jacket, throw your favorite sandals, and accessorize with a fun bag, like my new favorite Mar Y Sol caracas bag.  Because this dress is a beautiful vibrant green, it's great to pair it with a complimentary color, like blue in the jean jacket.

why does this work?  A jean jacket is my spring life-saver and when layered over a dress, it makes the perfect floral dress outfit pairing.  Being that this is a flowy floral shift dress, pairing it with a jacket helps to create a natural waistline for me, giving me (and you!) a little definition.  Have a shift dress?  try it!  create a waistline by belting it or layering with a cropped jacket for waist line emphasis at its best.
