With spring just about a week away, it’s the perfect time to talk transitional spring style. KC is starting to bloom out and green up, but temps are still relatively cool most days. I’m starting to work in spring trends, like this floral corset dress, but pairing them with warmer pieces to walk that winter-to-spring line.

First thoughts on the dress: really pretty, right? That floral is the daintiest and the corset detailing creates a beautiful waist. This dress style is just so romantic! It would make an amazing wedding guest dress, summer date night dress, or a bridal shower dress– but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I grabbed a cozy blush pink cable knit sweater and threw it over my shoulders to warm it up for the March/April issue of Kansas City Homes & Style. The combo strikes the right transitional balance.

I wanted a casual shoe, so I chose these sage green Adidas Sambas. Adidas is experiencing a major street style resurgence, with Gazelle, Samba, and Spezial styles giving us options over chunkier sneakers that have been at the fashion forefront.

My finishing touch was a sprinkling of jewelry with pearl details. Pearls are everywhere right now, and I love mixing them with other gold and silver pieces.

Shop the look:

If sneakers and girly dresses aren’t your thing, be my guest and swap these Sambas out for a flirty heel. You could do a closed-toe pump or a strappy sandal, whatever you like. Going with a shoe with a heel definitely elevates this look into date night or fancy wedding guest territory.

And if it’s not quite warm enough in your part of the country for bare shoulders, put the sweater on over the dress. Instant coziness. Don’t want to lose your waist? Grab a belt, cinch it around the dress, then slip on the sweater and tuck its hem into the belt.

  7. Oh my, this is so pretty. I love the dainty floral pattern and you look so stylish with the sweater draped over your shoulders. You nailed this look and you have me dreaming of warmer days ahead. Unfortunately around my parts it will be a while before spring arrives.

    1. I really love the dainty print on the dress, too- it definitely attracted me to the dress. Thanks for swinging by, Bo!

  9. Ashley, what can I say? You are always stunning, and this is no different! I love the sweet floral dress with the unexpected sneakers. I’m going to have to look into some Sambas. The platform sneakers aren’t really me, but I could see myself wearing these! You just look soooo good!

  20. Hello!
    I clicked on the affiliate links and was amazed at the price of the dress, in my country it would be accessible to few women, but it is very beautiful, I love the detail of being a corset dress. I think it’s a romantic and delicate look, and the necklace is timelessly beautiful. In conclusion, I love it!

    1. Yesss, pink or red would be so fun! I have a pair of red and pink Spezials, which really give the Samba vibe, and they’re amazing!

  23. So pretty and feminine! I love those green sneaks, they’re unexpected with the dress but go so nicely with it… and I just love sneaks with dresses these days! I’m always for a cover up in the spring… I get cold easily!

  32. Sambas are definitely the it shoe! It’s really having a moment. I have some in white and green, but now I’m waiting for a pair of baby blues in the mail. I love to wear them with so many outfits. I love how you paired them with this floral dress for Spring!

    Cheers,

  36. What a beautiful Spring outfit! I love it, this is the type of dresses I love and would love to wear but it’s so hard to find them here, also the way you styled it very casual/sporty at the same time. I really loved it! You look gorgeous!

    Have a beautiful day!
    XO, Melissa
