Sartorial Saturday–My Favorite Miss Candyfloss Style

While I’m waiting to add some new autumn pieces to my wardrobe, I thought I’d take a look at my very favorite Miss Candyfloss dress style, which features a pleated bustline that provides an amazing fit, and a row of buttons all the way down the front, which gives you a great option for wearing exposed shorts under it in the summer! The Virtue-Violette is a beautiful sleeveless pink and blue checked option:

The Estee-Spring dress is a short-sleeve option with lovely pastel stripes:

The Heidi-Abalone is a tartan dress with 3/4 sleeves perfect for autumn:

Here’s an example of how you can wear shorts under this style of dress for a light and breezy summer look:

This style extends to playsuits, as well. Of course, they don’t button all the way down the front, and you can’t wear them with shorts, but they have the same lovely bustline and buttons down the front. The Morna-Bo is a long-sleeve option perfect for cooler days:

The lovely Acantha-Fire has short sleeves perfect for summer:

And for really hot days, the Belicia-Minty is a sleeveless choice:

This style even extends to blouses. I only have one, the Efrona-Lee, and it pairs well with skirts, pants, and skorts!

I really love that I’ve been shopping with Miss Candyfloss long enough that I can immediately identify which pieces are my favorite style, and know that they’ll look great and I’ll feel great in them!

Sartorial Saturday–Learning to Love Linen

Here’s something you may not know about me…I have long had a “no linen” policy. While I love natural fabrics, not to mention the idea of a breathable fabric in the summer, the way linen wrinkles when you look at it wrong has always made me wary. When I saw the Marcella-Sadie dress in the Miss Candyfloss “Lilibeth” lookbook, though, I wondered if my resolve would waver, because not only is it a style of dress I already like, it’s also a different color from anything I already own. When the dress was released, my resolve completely crumbled, and now, against all odds, I not only own a linen dress, I love it!

I accessorized with an Erstwilder brooch that adds a pop of color, a trio of Splendette duchess bangles, and a summery hat:

I love how light the dress is, and how bold the checkered pattern is, too!

I’m so happy I took a chance and gave it a try!

There’s another linen dress in the lookbook that I have my eye on…now that I know I can not only tolerate, but actually like the fabric, I wouldn’t be surprised if it joins this dress in my wardrobe!
