Got a fancy party to attend? Try this elegant dress and throw on a cozy and lovely baby pink car coat over top. We love the addition of vintage style oxford pumps with grey knit kneesocks. Accessorize with super girly details like pearl earrings, a flower headband and a clean white clutch. Pretty!

Here’s what may be a contender for Cutest Outfit Ever. A warm hue like mustard yellow brightens you up, while a simple collared sweater adds crispness. Branch out and rock on with a patterned pleated skirt and knee-high boots, but finish up neatly with classic accessories like a leather watch, tiny gold earrings and a square bag. Gorgeous for Grandma’s house on Christmas Day.
