Dresses may be my favorite style of clothing (and the most common item in my wardrobe!), but I love a good playsuit. Miss Candyfloss makes them well, and the Zena-Naia from this year’s spring/summer “Legendary Liz” collection is the perfect piece for summer.
I love the sunny color, the gingham on the bodice, and the fact that it’s sleeveless, which is great for warm days, but easy to throw a cardigan over when it’s cool.
I accessorized with a necklace and Duchess Bangles from Splendette, an Erstwilder brooch, and my favorite neutral hat and lace gloves.
Playsuits give the best long lines!
I especially love how wide the legs are:
I’ve really enjoyed how bold and colorful this season’s collection is!
Last year after Combo Breaker, I promised myself that I was going to get a pair of shoes with a bit more ankle support/stability before the next event. So today, just in time for Combo Breaker 2026, I’m taking a look at the D’Lites-Popular Vote sneaker by Skechers.
I have been a fan of Skechers for almost 20 years. I was first introduced to the brand when I was pregnant with Ladybug and having some back trouble. I tried a pair of the old Bikers style of Mary Jane with the crisscrossing straps, and fell in love. They were so comfortable, and my back felt so much better, that I started wearing them regularly, and haven’t stopped since in one design or another! These are my first full lace-up sneakers, though, and they provide just the support I was looking for.
These caught my eye one day at Kohl’s both because they’re a pretty shade of blue but also because SPARKLE! They’re a little hard to see in a photo, but next to every lacing loop is a little rhinestone, and they really catch the light in the sun!
My only complaint with these shoes is that they run a tiny bit small, which is, in my experience, pretty unusual for Skechers. I wear a size 11, and there was no bigger size for me to try, but if there had been, I probably would have gotten those instead. It’s a minor complaint, though, and I find them pretty easy to wear!
Hopefully my feet will thank me at the end of the weekend!
Today I’m taking a look at a dirndl apron that reminds me of the many beautiful and different wildflowers found in the Alps!
This colorful edelweiss and floral print apron arrived from Rare Dirndl just in time for Maifest at Grant’s Farm. I paired it with my blue Everyday Dirndl, but it was a tough decision, because it will go with so many of the dirndls in my wardrobe!
I accessorized with even more florals, including a floral crown and edelweiss necklace and earrings from Rare Dirndl:
I also wore my dirndl socks and Dr. Martens Mary Janes:
I love the soft green apron ties!
It’s such a cheerful look for spring and summer!
I love getting dressed up in a dirndl for a German event, especially one at Grant’s Farm!
It’s great how a new apron can give a dirndl a completely different look…there are so many options for mixing and matching!
My second purchase from the Miss Candyfloss Legendary Liz collection is the Audrey-Floria dress, in my very favorite style!
What makes it my favorite Miss Candyfloss style? The row of buttons all the way down the front and the pleated bust…it’s such a flattering look!
I accessorized with my newest fascinator, a pair of butterfly earrings, an Erstwilder brooch, and a necklace and stack of Duchess Bangles from Splendette that go well with my pink lace gloves:
Chickadee said that this dress looks like a Monet painting, and I’m inclined to agree with her!
I really love both the floral print and the color palette…it will be so easy to accessorize it in so many different ways!
It’s another beautiful look for spring!
I still have one dress from this collection I’d like to order that hasn’t been released yet…hopefully I don’t have to wait too much longer!
Today I’m taking a look at my first purchase from the Miss Candyfloss spring/summer 2026 “Legendary Liz” collection…the Ashley-Naia maxi dress!
This is my first true maxi dress, and I was a little worried about how it would look on me, but it turns out it’s one of my favorite looks to date!
The floral pattern is so pretty, and I love the color palette of pink, purple, and yellow!
I accessorized with a pink fascinator and gloves, a pair of necklaces from the RockLove Jewelry “Tell Your Tale” collection, and a glittery stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles…it’s the perfect look for spring!
There’s still plenty of movement and twirl in a long dress, too!
This whole look makes me feel like I should be attending a garden party!
I love that even though I’ve been shopping with Miss Candyfloss for quite a while now, I can still find new styles to try and love!
I’m so excited about this year’s charity apron from Rare Dirndl, and just in time for Autism Acceptance Month, too!
I have been a huge fan of Rare Dirndl’s summer charity projects since I bought the lemons apron back in 2022. I’ve enjoyed supporting various charities, some of which I hadn’t heard of before, and I love that as a company, Rare Dirndl wants to give back. This year’s apron, though, is especially near and dear to my heart, because the organization being supported is the Association for Autism and Neurodiversity, whose mission is to “help Autistic and similarly Neurodivergent people build meaningful, connected lives.” If you’ve followed my blog for any amount of time, you probably know that autism is something that has touched my family’s life.
Here’s a closer look at the bright and bold puzzle piece print…I also love the contrasting apron ties!
I kept my accessories simple, with a blue necklace from Meteor Jewelry Company and an edelweiss wrap bracelet from Rare Dirndl, plus hoop earrings:
I paired the apron with my purple dirndl dress because I love the way the colors look together, but I’m also looking forward to wearing it with my blue Everyday Dirndl, and probably a few others, too!
Rare Dirndl is actually offering a second apron in support of this cause this year, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to buy it, too…I love that’s it’s very different, but equally beautiful, and still supports a great cause!
Today I’m taking a look at a beautiful dress in the loveliest shade of green that I got for a steal from Miss Candyfloss!
I’ve had my eye on the Nerine-Sage dress since it was first released two years ago in the Viva Rita collection. I couldn’t quite commit to the bold color, but when it went on sale at the end of February, I couldn’t resist any longer!
I went bold with my accessories, too, including an equally bright green fascinator I got for Easter, a pair of necklaces from RockLove Jewelry, a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles in green and pink, butterfly earrings in the same colors, and an Erstwilder Easter egg brooch:
The dress doesn’t just have a bold color…it also has a subtle leopard print pattern!
Here’s a closer look at my bangle stack, along with the pink gloves and belt I added to the outfit:
I added a green charm from the RockLove The Princess and the Frog “Tell Your Tale” enhancer set:
And here’s a look at the top of the fascinator, which is just gorgeous!
The lightweight, satin fabric has a great twirl!
This is such a pretty dress for spring, and there’s something about a piece of clothing that was a great bargain that makes it even more enjoyable to wear!
Last month’s viral trend really amused me, especially when I realized I could demonstrate exactly what I was like in the 90s without digging for an old photo…I just had to find the right items in my current wardrobe, and it wasn’t even hard!
This was a common look for me in the 90s…an oversized flannel over a fitted top, wide-leg jeans, and Dr. Martens Mary-Janes.
For accessories, I used tiny butterfly clips to pull my hair back and added a choker and big hoops. Even my lip color, a plummy brown Colourpop lip stain called “90s Babe,” fits the theme!
And I even have the perfect Loungefly, inspired by one of my very favorite 90s movies, Clueless:
It was really fun to pull together a (dare I say) retro look from youth with pieces from my current closet…I guess some things never change!
Over a year ago, when I first saw the Nalini-Pia dress in the Miss Candyfloss Chérie Bardot lookbook, I knew it would be the perfect Easter dress. Unfortunately, it wasn’t released in time for me to wear it last Easter, but I was finally able to today!
It was a bit chilly this morning, and I really didn’t want to wear a sweater over the dress, so I ended up wearing a lace dirndl blouse under it. I’m not totally thrilled with how that turned out, because I think it detracts a bit from the beautiful pastel colors on the bodice of the dress, but sometimes it’s function over form.
I went all-in on those pastel shades with my stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles, plus an Erstwilder Easter egg brooch, a pair of RockLove Jewelry necklaces from their retiring Disney “Tell Your Tale” collection, and a new, brightly-colored, lime green fascinator:
Here’s a closer look at the pair of necklaces…they’re the same, just different lengths, and one has a Tiana charm from the same collection attached to it:
And the true star of the outfit…the fascinator! I knew I wanted a lime green headpiece for Easter, and I was starting to despair of ever finding what I had in my mind, but Dillard’s had the perfect thing!
Dirndl blouse aside, I really like how this look came together…the fascinator really brings out the green section of the dress!
I felt very much like a decorated Easter egg, which was kind of the plan!
Before Mary Blair March wraps up, I have one more outfit inspired by her color styling!
For this look, which kind of resembles a can of lemon-lime soda, I combined two of my favorite Mary Blair-esque shades…bright yellow and chartreuse, with the Miss Candyfloss Harriet-Naia dress and my favorite shrug.
I accessorized with a Splendette necklace and Duchess Bangles, and an Erstwilder brooch:
I really love the way the bangle stack turned out!
This is such a cheerful color pairing!
I’ve really enjoyed thinking outside of the box when planning outfits this month!
