I recently received an email from a Cup of Jo reader with a question…
“It’s my 40th birthday this June and I’m planning to host a party in my garden,” Kate wrote. “My anxiety has really increased over the last two years, but I’m hoping to get through things with therapy and move on to a new chapter. I want to feel chic but fun and I’m ready. What’s a special occasion dress that’s not frilly or frizzy? It’s okay to splurge.”
(Almost) Happy birthday, Kate! That’s a really interesting question. I’m really looking forward to having a party. (I hosted my own birthday party last year and it was one of the favorite nights of my life.) Here are some dresses that would work beautifully…
1. Pink is spring-like and gorgeous, so how about it? striped dress or This cotton number?I love it too this linen thingand what beautiful magenta silk.
2. Red always speaks up. I love it this cheesecloth dressIt feels cool and breezy all night long (perfect for summer trips). This linen midi lengthit’s cute even in the low price range. Or check out more details: these straps So romantic and so gorgeous this back?
3. Channel your own flowers This highly rated maxi (with pockets!) or very cute mini. Also, my friend This sea floral skirtThis was a big splurge, but I got a million compliments every time I left the house. “Even the 20-year-old boy next door said, ‘I really like your skirt,'” she laughed.
4. Lastly, polka dots are a big trend right now and I’ve always loved them. this sundress It’s wonderful, this midi With a cool square neck, this dress Not exactly polka dots, but VIBE.
What are your thoughts? Which one would you choose? Or would you recommend another look? I like it too these chic shoes. Shit
