With pastel blooms popping up everywhere and temperatures that are perfect for flirty, but not skimpy, outfits, spring is the perfect time to don a ladylike ensemble. While we love conventionally spring-appropriate florals and sherbet shades, there’s no need to abandon a more modern sensibility when picking out a feminine look. Trendy color schemes (think pops of neon) and chic patterns (like mod black-and-white checks) become instantly ladylike when seen on more traditionally girlish silhouettes, like full skirts, midi dresses, and delicate collared blouses. Whether you’re a ruffles-and-flowers sort of girl or someone who favors a more avant garde style, a ladylike outfit is something anyone can pull off!

I love this look oh-so-much. I just wish Eva wore different shoes…
I love this look. So glad it’s big this spring.
Love the fitted white dress from instyle. Any more information on the manufacturer? date it appeared on look of the day or who’s wearing it? I want that dress!
This is my go-to look: combine pastels with textured fabrics like lace and ruffles and add some edgy jewelry to toughen up the look a little bit.
