The Midi Dress

February 27, 2020 By Katie Rushton Leave a Comment

The Midi Dress

Midi dresses are very much back in session after what was possibly a two decade reprieve! There is little more feminine and pretty than a girl in a dress, and the midi dress provides countless options for styling. Wear it alone with heels, booties, sandals, sneakers, or wedges…. Layer a leather or denim jacket, a cardigan, or a chunky sweater over it….  Embellish it with simple accessories or go all out with statement earrings and a fedora. You get the drift – have fun with it and get creative!

 

The Midi Dress: How to Wear

Metallic Sneaker Look
White Sneaker Outfit

Sneakers are one of our most favorite accessories right now – don’t be afraid to wear them with a midi dress. If you don’t own a pair of fashion sneakers, now is the time! One of our favorite brands is Dolce Vita. These are just two of probably 100 styles, color palettes, and patterns they have to choose from. This brand is tried and true by our stylists – comfortable and good looking!

 

Denim Jacket Look
White Denim Jacket Look

Able makes a fabulous cropped denim jacket that is easy to throw on over most any look! The cropped length works well with a dress because it will accentuate the waist. This denim jacket was so popular that they released a white version a few weeks ago!

 

Sweater Layered Over Midi Dress Look

A sweater over a midi dress is so fun and fabulous – more on that below! If you are looking for a versatile sweater option for this purpose, check these two options out. (More on these here and here.) The most important thing to be aware of would be the length of the sweater. Idealistically, the sweater would be either cropped or folded under to sit close to the natural waist. If you have a longer sweater in your closet you want to use, don’t forget about the trick of tucking your sweater into the bottom of your bra to achieve the length you are wanting! An off-the-shoulder or slouchy look would be pretty too.

 

Katey Preston’s Looks

Midi Dress Look

I was actually with Katey Preston when she bought this dress in Florida – if you haven’t had the chance to shop with Katey, you must! She just has an eye for stand out pieces, and this dress falls into that category for sure. She saw it from across the store in Anthropologie, and the rest is history! The geometric pattern is gorgeous, and the colors work throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall, making the dress worth the investment that it was. Katey pairs it with a neutral bootie, a dainty necklace, gold dangles, and a fabulous fedora.

 

Leopard Print Midi Dress Look

Sweater | Similar Sweater | Midi Dress

This leopard print long sleeve midi is so beautiful. Of course, this dress can be worn in its own right with heels or booties. But we love Katey’s take on it here, with a chunky sweater layered over it! It repurposes the dress into the look of a skirt. Don’t be afraid to let the sleeves of your dress peek out from under the sweater!

The Midi Dress: A Few Favorites

We thought we would share some of our current favorite midi dresses out there right now – goodness knows, there is no shortage of them, making it rather difficult to narrow it down!

Shimmer Midi Dress

The colors are just so pleasing in this long sleeve shimmer midi dress, leaving the options completely open for accessorizing!

 

Tie-Dye Midi Dress

Tie-Dye is going to be everywhere this Spring and Summer, so this satin midi dress covers two of the biggest trends! 

 

Knit Midi Dress

If your everyday style is more casual, or you want an on-point piece for the weekends, this knit midi dress is perfect!

 

Colorblock Midi Dress

Love the sophisticated lines of this colorblock midi dress for a dressier look.

 

Zebra Print Midi Dress

This zebra print long sleeve midi dress is just everything. Sophisticated lines and a whimsical print combine into a winning combination.

✨CLIENT PERSONAL SHOPPING DAY✨ . Happy Friday ✨CLIENT PERSONAL SHOPPING DAY✨
.
Happy Friday gang! It’s been a busy week over here at ES, so we thought we’d share a little #behindthescenes of a recent Personal Shopping appointment setup with Katie!
.
Clients hire us for personal shopping for various reasons. Some just want a seasonal upgrade of a few new pieces. Some need looks for an upcoming business event or trip. Some need a complete overhaul of their wardrobe, and some needs looks for a planned vacation. Whatever the needs of our clients, a personal shopping appointment works a little like this….
.
1) We chat with our client to learn more about their needs and have them fill out an ES client form that gives us even more info.
.
2) We then schedule a date to get together for some shopping.
.
3) On the day of our personal shopping appointment, we arrive a little early to go ahead and pull pieces and looks for our client, so that when they arrive, they will have a dressing room ready for them to start trying on clothes.
.
4) During the personal shopping appointment, we help our clients determine what works and what doesn’t work. What fit works good for their body and what pieces will be good additions to their wardrobe. 
.
Reach out today if our stylists’ can help you with some personal shopping as we transition into a new season! We have been helping clients get ready for business trips, prepping for summer vacations, finding the perfect look for upcoming spring weddings, graduations, etc!
