A Floral Dress for Mother’s Day
Happy Thursday! I mentioned last week in my Spring Swing Dress post that I have been on a bit of a dress kick this year and today’s Floral Dress for Mother’s Day is more evidence of my latest obsession! While I am styling this as a great dress for a Mother’s Day get-together, it would also be great as a wedding guest dress, especially if it’s a beach or backyard wedding.

A Floral Dress for Mother’s Day
Sleeveless Square Neck Linen Midi Dress
Anthropologie is my go-to online retailer for petite dresses. They have, by far, the most to offer in petite sizes. Dresses for all occasions in a variety of sizes (including plus sizes), and price points, makes Anthro a perfect one-stop shop for dress shopping.
I am wearing the Sleeveless Square Neck Linen Midi Dress. The dress is linen and viscose, and its lining is viscose – which is great if you feel like linen can be a little itchy. The dress itself is a very soft linen that is easy to care for, it steamed beautifully!
The straps are adjustable, which is really great, since our proportions can vary. I am wearing Petite XS and it fits true to size. The dress has pockets – always a plus in my book! I love the bow in the back, a detail that adds a little flair to the dress, which is otherwise pretty understated.
This dress is easy to dress up, which I did by wearing espadrille wedges, but metallic heels would be a great option too. Or you can go with strappy flat sandals.
This cane clutch is from J.McLaughlin, last year, but there are other cane clutches out there, like this clear version at Ann Taylor. Check out the boutique at the end of the post to shop more clutch options.

You are so lovely Kelly!
You’re sweet to say so, Karen. Thank you for stopping by today! xo Kelly
Pockets and the surprise back bow detail make this dress special. You are glowing in this outfit !
Thank you, Denise! I love a dress with pockets and you’re right, the bow makes the dress! xo Kelly
So pretty, Kelly! You look like you’re wrapped in a watercolor!
Thank you, Carolina Girl! You know, for me, it was the pattern that made this dress a must-have! xo Kelly
Kelly you always look great! My daughter has been an Anthropologie girl for years, graduations, special events and even her engagement, wedding and wedding reception dresses have all been from there. That is her go to store.
Thanks so much, Sharon! A friend just asked me about shopping website recommendations for his sister who is looking for a low-key wear-it-again wedding dress, and my only answer was Anthropologie, without a doubt. Yay for Anthro! xo Kelly
Kelly, that is the sweetest dress on you. Love the bow and the shoes really compliment the dress. Love it!!
Thank you so much, Sue! xo Kelly
I enjoy wearing dresses but struggle with the issue of the appearance of my legs. My legs are shapely but since I am in my 70s, having silky looking legs is a challenge. The trend is to leave the pantyhose in the closet and have bare legs. Any chance of presenting a few hints for the care of one’s legs. I already use body lotion daily and use a scrub soap. I love your blog and look forward to each day’s presentation..
Hi Kelly! Nice post, love the dress and bag. Love your petite style suggestion!
Thank you, Susan! xo Kelly
