FYI: Select Petal & Pup styles are available from Nordstrom, Dillard's and Amazon

My favorite styling formula: Hair: sleek bun or soft waves, plus one cute detail (like a silky bow) for a girly pop moment Shoes: simple heels in black or a metallic tone Jewelry: one statement piece only (either earrings or a bracelet, not both) Bag: small clutch so the dress stays the main character That little bow moment is honestly underrated

You could wear this with white shorts and wedges for a chic going out look, too
