Jumping into a cute prairie dress for early summer.
Prairie dresses are having a bit of a moment right now. Think super floaty and lightweight, midi-to-maxi length, in both solids and retro classic prints. This mustard polka dot prairie dress is hitting on all those notes, complete with a floaty hem that gives it a distinct boho feel. I also love similar dresses in this same pretty mustard color (a huge trend lately!) here and here for a steal.
An all-over print means I usually keep the accessories to a minimum, but I really wanted to wear these new statement earrings from Bauble Bar. (Psst, they’re sold out, but these are a killer dupe.) Love the clean, shiny gold and interesting design. I’m still wearing that Madewell necklace set, just pulled out the medium-length necklace for a solo run.
Shop the look:
I love these white sandals, but if I had this outfit to do over again, I’d probably wear something with just a bit of a heel. A low wedge, perhaps? Something to give my legs just a bit of length. This totally worked for an easy summer outfit, but I feel a little stumpy in photos. Blogger pals, does this happen to you? Something will play just fine in the mirror + real life, but it doesn’t photograph quite as you’d hoped? This isn’t a total miss for me–and others might not even notice– but it’s one of those things that make you say, “I swore that looked different in real life…”
My pals and I are off to Boulevardia tomorrow night in the Stockyards District of KC. Beer, food trucks, vendors to shop, live music, a Ferris wheel + yard games, and all the fun. I’ll be covering it over via Insta stories if you want to follow along!

I love polka dots and your dress! You reminded me that I have a polka dot blouse that I have forgotten its existence until now.
This print is amazing and dress too. Nice choice Ashley!!!

Adorable dress! Love the ruffled hi-lo hemline and color. It looks great with the gold accessories.
I’m loving this dress, what a fab colour! You photos are amazing, great detail my friend. Jacqui Mummabstylish
OhMyGosh I love everything about this look, but that DRESS! Showstopper! It’s almost enough to get me to lose 100lbs so I could wear it, ha ha!
I think the flat sandals look fine but I totally know what you mean about thinking something looks one way and then you see it in a photograph and you’re like, “oh.” Ha. I haven’t had a good full-length mirror in a long time and I’ve taken to snapping a quick shot w my camera of outfits when I get dressed…and yeah, I think you see things more “real” in a photo than in a mirror.
This is my first time on your blog, definitely going to follow!
