3 Neutral Dresses for Spring & Summer

I know we’re not quite to spring or summer yet (at least not where I live!) but I’m already starting to think about shedding layers & wearing nothing but flowy & comfortable dresses during the warmer months. Although I love the look of a dress in the winter, it’s just not always practical where I live, so the other seasons is where I get to live my best dress life!

If you prefer video content, my reel styling these dresses is HERE.

I have collaborated with Pinkblush to share 3 neutral dresses that will be able to be mixed and matched all spring & summer long. You can use the code MARISSAELISE25 for 25% off your order from Pinkblush.

This first dress is a beige (but comes in 4 other colors!) linen & cotton dress. The sleeves and hem are fringe & it’s just so stinking cute & comfy! I love the shorter length (I washed & dried it and it fits my 5’1″ frame exactly how I was hoping it would!) & the fact that it has pockets. It looks so cute alone but would be equally as cute with a cardigan and booties!

This second dress is stunning. I’m wearing it in black, but it also comes in green & red. The tie straps are so cute & work great to customize the fit. The v neck & ruffle hem are such cute details. This dress would be perfect for a bachelorette party, wedding guest dress, or summer date night.

So right off the bat I have to admit– I’m wearing this dress backwards! I just loved the back button detail & thought it would be so cute turned around. The wooden buttons add cute character, as well as the tie straps. This dress also comes in a rust color that is beautiful as well. It’s so flowy & will be a great summer dress!

Which of these three dresses is your favorite? Do you love neutrals too, or do you go for bright colors? Let me know in the comments below!

His & Her Elevated Wardrobe Basics

This post is in collaboration with Mott & Bow, but all thoughts and views are my own.

As I get older & really start to find out what my sense of style really is, I often just find myself reaching for what’s comfortable–some great basics that include a good pair of jeans & a simple & comfortable top.

Mott & Bow has so many great options that fit seamlessly into my wardrobe, starting with these mom jeans (I did cut mine because I’m a shortie!) and this cashmere raglan crew sweater. They’re both SO comfy & mix & match with the other items in my closet so well. This is my first cashmere sweater & it is SO soft and I am looking forward to wearing it in almost every season!

Quick reminder: I will link everything I can at the bottom of the post, if it is unavailable I do my best to find similar options. I do use affiliate links which means if you order using these links I make a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks! 🙂

My husband is also a jeans and simple top guy– as he was trying on his slim fit jeans, he was amazed at how remarkably comfortable they were and that they had the perfect amount of stretch. He’s worn them multiple times now & says they are his best fitting jeans and his favorite to wear. He also loves the feel of the cashmere crew bergen sweater. It’s a great piece for fall, winter & spring and so incredibly lightweight & soft to the touch. The black is classic & will go with everything!

Mott & Bow is a clothing company that started with denim but has expanded into jackets, sweaters, tops, sweats and accessories. Their mission is to bring high quality clothing to their customers at a reasonable price point & they have great options for elevating the basics in your wardrobe. They carry both men and women’s styles & their clothing is meant to be comfortable and versatile. If you’re looking to elevate your wardrobe with some great basics, consider checking out what they have!

How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

Lovely Jewelry to Give this Christmas (and a discount code!)

If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that GLDN is my favorite jewelry brand. I’ve owned multiple pieces from them for years & found them long before I began collaborating with them (I think through Pinterest!).

My husband has gifted me bracelets & necklaces from them for Christmas and Birthdays and I just love their dainty pieces. I wear a piece from them almost daily & I am so excited to collaborate with them again to show you some great pieces you can gift to someone special for the holidays!

Personally, I tend to stick to necklaces & earrings, but they carry rings & bracelets as well!

I love that most, if not all, of their pieces come in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, or solid gold. You can choose which look & price point works best for you. Another great feature they offer is that a lot of their pieces have an option to be customized (initials, dates, flowers, images, hammed or smooth, etc.) which makes them perfect for gift giving!

I’m sharing 4 pieces today— see the reel HERE!

I do have a discount code– use MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT to get $10 off your order until the end of 2021.

There are two pieces in this picture, but I am going to focus on the earrings. They are the 14k gold filled hammered Sonia Cuff Hoops. They are a lovely & classic pair of hoops. I tend to love the hammered look for some texture, but you can get a smooth finish as well. They also come in sterling silver & a solid gold.

This necklace is the Lor Necklace in 14k gold fill. I got it personalized with an evergreen tree & a hammered texture. I love it for this time of year & throughout winter! Just a cute little festive piece!

This is just another view of the Sonia Cuff Hoops! So pretty & dainty.

This is the Friendship Beads Necklace in 14k gold fill. You can personalize the number of beads & chose 3 to represent my two boys & my husband.

This is the Tiny Gemstone Necklace in 14k gold fill, the color beads are Andalusite. This gemstone necklace comes in SO many beautiful gemstones & colors. I just really liked the color of this one & that’s why I chose it. 🙂

Again, until the end of the year you can use discount code MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT for $10 off your order!
