This cold shoulder dress is to die for!  Dainty stripes and a full, flouncy ruffle make this particular dress fun and seriously cute.  Whether you’re out for a day of shopping or going to brunch, it’s sure to wow.  See the full outfit and my brunch date at La Madeleine below!

Isn’t the style of this dress just darling?!

Dress: local boutique Pink Avenue (Order from their Instagram) | Shoes: Gianni Bini | Bag: Georgia Milani (similar) | Watch: Daniel Wellington | Sunglasses: J.Crew Factory

When I saw this adorable dress on Instagram, I knew I had to have it.  Trust me when I say it’s even cuter in person!  The cold shoulder trend has taken off without abandon this season and there’s no question why.  The casual sassiness of an off the shoulder top or dress is something fashion girls are just in love with at the moment.  I found this beauty of a dress at a local boutique named Pink Avenue.  They’ve been stylishly dressing the Hot Springs, Arkansas community for over 10 years now!  And they’re conveniently located next to the only Starbucks in town.  I mean, come on…coffee and shopping just go together.

In this look, I mixed the cold shoulder and mini handbag trends.  This particular bag is a hidden gem from TJ Maxx: a Made in Italy leather bag by the brand Georgia Milani.  It’s so stinkin’ cute!  The leather is smooth and sturdy and the inside of the bag is just big enough for my essentials.  The strap is detachable so I can carry by hand or sling it over my shoulder.

The ruffle is stiff enough to hold it’s shape, but not enough to get in the way.

If you ever have the chance to visit a La Madeleine, try their mocha.  It’s better than Starbucks in my opinion!
