Dress: Ellen Tracy | Belt: Steve Madden | Bag: c/o Novica (from several years ago but it's still available!) | Shoes: Nine West | Bracelet: gift ( similar)
I wore this dress for Easter; after taking the pictures I wish I had also photographed it with the pink coat I wore over it ( this one, you can see the combo here on Instagram). The dress comes with a black and gold belt; I originally planned to pair it with my skinny hot pink patent belt ( seen here). And while the color combo made me quite happy, the belt's hardware is silver while this dress has a large gold zipper with round gold zipper pull in back. I tried my yellow croco skinny belt and it looked cartoonish with the mango-orange color. The rest of my skinny colored belts have silver hardware and my leopard belt looked too wintry so I went with this chain belt, a recent purchase.
I don't know if Nordstrom recently started carrying Ellen Tracy or if the brand has updated their look, but when seeking out spring dresses at the department store this season it seemed almost every dress I gravitated towards was Ellen Tracy. Available in regular, petite, and plus sizes and the dresses all hover around $100 for what I find to be stellar quality and flattering cuts that will stay stylish for a while, I have a new favorite dress brand!
