steven alan summer dresses

sometimes i find Steven Alan stuff a little too boring or maybe because in NYC it's so ubiquitous, a veritable uniform for some. i have a few pieces but have never been a big fan. well for summer there are quite a few fun, flirty dresses on their site that are rather affordable compared with everything else I've have my eye on (uh, like Isabel Marant).

Petiole Dress - $195

I'm obsessed with navy right now. anything in navy looks so fresh, especially worn with black. The petiole dress would look great with a simple black cardigan and black Worishofer slingbacks.

Fairchild Dress - $248

This print is amazing. Busy and colorful without being too much. The silhouette comes in solid colors also and doesn't look nearly as good as in this fun paisley.

Gaby Dress - $248

Loving the one-shoulder, especially because EVERYONE is doing stripes. And yeah they are great but it's nice to see them refreshed.

Spring Vivian Dress - $298

I love the scoopneck on this dress and the print that looks like it belongs on a tie. The vivian dress also comes in a bright orange, which with the right accessories (and right skin tone) could look amazing.
