Styling: The Babydoll Dress

One of the new pieces we have in the shop that I'm most excited about is the Frankie Babydoll Dress. I love how you can twist the charm of a classic babydoll silhouette in multiple ways - funkier, sleeker, punkier, or cozier - it seems to play with every style type. This version is made from a mid-weight cotton, which is nice and breathable when temps swing from chillier in the mornings to warmer midday. 

Here are a few ideas on how to wear this dress as the leaves change. I've styled these looks with a mix of pieces from the shop and vintage pieces from my own wardrobe - I'll be linking all of the shop pieces or similar when possible!

Look #1: Summer to Fall

I love that the longer silhouette of the suede jacket makes a more streamlined silhouette - with just the ruffle trim of the dress peeking out. Paired with a leather flat rather than a sandal to keep the direction of the season. I would also style this look with a longer waisted blazer and a loafer. 

Look #2: Boots, baby!

If you're a fan of the unexpected shoe theory - this one is for you! I think any chunkier tall boot would pair nicely with this dress - I just happen to have a pair of vintage patent leather cowboy boots, so...when in Rome. Maybe throw an oversized cardigan over this if you're chilly. Or a trench coat. I liked the whimsy of the Good Fortune Bag in Polka Dot to finish off the ensemble. PS: yes I love to mix navy + black :)

Look #3: Cappuccino + Cookie

Titled so as I would be heading to my favorite coffee shop in the crisp air to order precisely that. Here's a similar vintage trench coat. 

Thanks for reading! Find the Frankie Dress in our brick + mortar as well as online.

Wear in good health! 

Important note, this dress does run big. I typically wear an 8/10 and I'm wearing a size M.
