The Sweetest Thing // trench dress + bodysuit

When it comes to clothing, the sweetest thing in my book is versatility. I love finding pieces that I know I can make work in various seasons and for various occasions. Enter this strapless trench dress. While I've worn it alone before (you can see how I styled it here), I've been dying to layer a bodysuit underneath it. Now that it's spring, I've finally gotten the chance, and it totally transforms this dress into something even MORE unique and dramatic. 

Bodysuits are a brilliant way to make transitional dressing a breeze. I've been layering this simple black one underneath everything from jumpsuits to flowy short-sleeved tops. But there's nothing like seeing how effortlessly a bodysuit can breathe new life into a dress! This has got to be one of my favorite looks. 

A bright floral clutch instantly brightens up a neutral ensemble. This bag is fun, colorful, and as beautiful as a piece of artwork! As for my heels, I cannot get enough of lucite. I think it's a brilliant material to incorporate into accessories. Can you say modern?

How gorgeous are these pink blooms? NYC is currently bursting with these romantic blossoms, and obviously I am ALL about it. So much so that I even matched my eyeshadow to the trees for this post! Oh man am I feeeeeling spring -- it's the sweetest thing, right?
