spring style watch: denim dresses + affordable sandals

Is anyone else as excited as I am for spring weather? Here in Alabama, the weather has had a hard time making up its mind when it comes to what season it is, but we had a glimpse of beautiful spring weather this week and now I’m dreaming of those warm, sunny days.

I even pulled out a dress and sandals on Wednesday and it was hard to put booties back on when it was chilly Thursday morning.

If you want to get a jump start on spring style, this dress is your ticket. How perfect is it? Super soft and comfortable and I think the length makes it the a great go-to dress because I can literally wear it anywhere. I like dressing it down with sandals, but I may pull out a pair of wedges or open-toe booties to dress it up a little.

And while I really love that dress, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say these sandals are going to be may favorite purchase of spring and summer. Let’s back up for a minute and talk about last spring when I purchased a pair of black Birkenstocks. I wore them all of the time, but it’s hard to find a pair for less than $100. That’s a pretty hefty price tag on a pair of sandals. So imagine how excited I was to find this similar version at Target for a fraction of the price, you can get them for around $22.

They come in this style below:

And this traditional two-strap version that everyone loves!

I ordered one of each style and I’m pretty sure they’re more comfortable than my actual Birkenstocks.

I went ahead and ordered the white pair after falling in love with them! Here’s a look at the colors and styles and I don’t think you can go wrong with any color or style. They don’t come in half sizes and I’m typically an 8.5, I ordered down and the fit is great.
