Lindsay’s Fashion Blog: Spring dresses

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois State chapter.

Let’s spruce up your wardrobe a bit and incorporate some items you might not normally wear to class. Lately our weather has been indecisive and unable to make up its mind about whether to be consecutively hot or cold.  It makes a girl’s job ten times harder before getting ready for class. So let’s make life a little easier! I have a friend who is a big advocator of not wearing pants, odd right? No way she explained to me that pants are too constricting, which is a good point. At first I rejected this notion as skinny jeans are essential within my wardrobe. But every time I saw her she had the cutest dresses on and she looked so carefree and adorable. It got me to thinking maybe she was right about dresses. Weather permitting, casual dresses are going to be my go to outfit!

Can you tell that sheer maxi dresses are quickly becoming my favorite item? Dress it up with some pumps or play it down with gladiator sandals. Either way this dress is cool enough to wear within the coming months. Get it here!

Arch Madness Dress
The hemming of this dress is adorable and the high waist adds more to your bust if you want a bit of a lift. The mint color is a plus as well; this dress is flirty and can be paired with a jean jacket for a cool night if needed. Get it here!
