15 favorite warm-weather dresses + 5 things I will be doing in May

+ 20 dream wardrobe favorites and home finds

I got a wedding invite in the mailbox this week and immediately got to work aka went wedding dress shopping. Not sure about you but because I’m not a dress/skirt gal, I’m totally comfortable going for a suit or even a jumpsuit. Consider this a ‘warming-up’ edit, inspired by the warmer weather we’ve been having here in NYC because I will do a separate wedding guest shopping edit for you on here soon!

My favorite wedding guest dress I’ve worn has got to be this floral dress. I wore it to my friend’s wedding in Minnesota in 2021 and my brother’s wedding in Vietnam in 2022. This jersey LBD (very similar here), worn here for a wedding in Dallas and here this past winter, is another perfect example of a good dress because I’ve worn it many times for different occasions. I found it on the sale rack at Saks Fifth a day before I had to leave NYC for that wedding.
