How to Wear DIY: A summer dress for a springtime baby shower

---

• 4.29.2013

Went to a baby shower this weekend! I've only been to one before and didn't really know what to expect, but the invitations were pale pink, and it's a baby girl, so... I figured it's be best to wear pastel colors and something girly, like a dress!

Turns out I don't have anything pale pink. Not really, anyway. I love pink, but have very little to wear in it; actually have a lot more pale blue things. I also found this pale yellow seersucker dress I made years ago. It's a perfect baby color, right?

To make it work for spring, I added my fave lightweight denim button-up and a wide belt. And--first time this year--open-toed shoes!!!

 Shirt: Target via Goodwill (similar/similar). Necklace and earrings: Forever 21

Sunglasses: ? Belt: Vintage. Shoes: Marshall's (similar). Dress: Homemade/DIY!

This weekend also marks the first day I got to wear shorts. Both gym shorts, and then denim ones. We had plenty of sunshine and 70 and 80 degree weather! Hoping for lots more before the rain comes back in June, like it often does.

Have you pulled out the open toes, shorts, or summer dresses yet!?
