DAYTIME

  • Yumi Kim

    Yumi Kim Long Sleeve Floral Maxi Dress

    $268

    When the day calls for something soft, romantic, and a bit more relaxed, this pretty floral will do the trick. The ruched waist and smocked cuffs on the sleeves give it shape while letting it flow. How pretty would this be for a beach wedding?! Sizes XS to XL. Buy from Revolve.

  • The Fold

    The Fold Stretch Crepe A-Line Dress

    $865

    The perfect choice for afternoon or cocktail events. A dress that says I am not fussy or high maintenance, but also no wallflower. We love the lipstick pink hue and ruffle detail. A-line, below the knee is always elegant and the stretchy Italian wool crepe should lay nicely. The Fold is a London startup we've got our eye on—just allow extra time and expense for shipping to the states. Sizes 2-12. Buy from The Fold.
