There’s something about a well-printed dress that just makes getting dressed feel effortless. You know the kind—easy to wear, flattering in all the right ways, and somehow manages to look polished without trying too hard. That’s exactly what we’re talking about today. One of our newest arrivals from Oliphant has landed, and it’s already turning heads. Picture soft shades of blue and tan, a breezy Mediterranean-inspired pattern, and a silhouette that moves with you, not against you. Whether you’re heading to brunch in Shadyside or strolling through Market Square, this look fits right in.
Why This Dress Works So Well
Let’s start with the print. It’s playful without being loud, and the color palette—those soft blues and warm tans—feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t need much else to make a statement, but still plays well with others. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, perfect for those warmer days when you want to feel put together without layering up.
And the fit? Flattering, forgiving, and just structured enough to give you shape without clinging. It’s the kind of dress that works on a variety of body types, which is always a win in our book. Whether you’re dressing it up or keeping it casual, it adapts to your day with ease.
Layering Made Simple
Now, let’s talk about that AG denim jacket. It’s the kind of piece that earns its keep in your closet. Lightweight, with a subtle tie detail that adds just the right amount of interest, it’s the perfect layer for those in-between weather days. Toss it over your shoulders for a relaxed look, or wear it buttoned up for a bit more structure. Either way, it complements the dress without competing with it.
And yes, denim on a print dress? Absolutely. The contrast works beautifully, especially when the tones are this well-matched. It’s a modern take on a classic combo, and it’s one you’ll reach for again and again.
Accessories That Pull It All Together
Let’s not forget the finishing touches. Accessories can make or break an outfit, and in this case, they absolutely make it. We paired the dress with a pair of Son D.B.S. sneakers—comfortable, stylish, and just the right amount of sporty. They keep the look grounded and wearable, perfect for a day of errands or a casual lunch date.
Then there’s the Il Bisonte bag. If you’re not familiar, this Italian brand is known for its craftsmanship and timeless style. The leather is buttery soft, and the design is both functional and beautiful. We added a matching card case for a little extra polish—because who doesn’t love a coordinated moment?
Jewelry from JMNYC adds a bit of sparkle without overwhelming the look. Think blue stone accents that echo the tones in the dress, layered necklaces, and a few bracelets and earrings to tie it all together. It’s subtle, but it makes a difference.
And finally, Randolph sunglasses. Classic, cool, and endlessly wearable. They’re the kind of shades that work with just about everything, and they add that final touch of confidence to the whole outfit.
Where to Wear It
This look is versatile enough to take you from a morning coffee run to an afternoon gallery visit and straight into dinner with friends. It’s polished but not fussy, stylish but not overdone. You could just as easily wear it to a casual wedding as you could to a weekend farmers market.
And if you’re in Pittsburgh or nearby, you know how unpredictable the weather can be. This outfit handles that with ease. The dress keeps you cool, the jacket adds warmth when needed, and the sneakers keep you comfortable no matter how much walking you’re doing.
Style Tips to Make It Your Own
Want to dress it up a bit? Swap the sneakers for a pair of strappy sandals or low heels. Add a clutch instead of the crossbody bag, and you’re ready for a night out. Prefer a more laid-back vibe? Skip the jewelry and throw your hair in a messy bun. The dress does enough on its own to carry the look.
And don’t be afraid to mix in your own pieces. A wide-brimmed hat, a different belt, or even a bold lip color can change the feel of the outfit entirely. That’s the beauty of a well-made dress—it gives you a strong foundation to build on.
Why It Belongs in Your Closet
At the end of the day, this outfit is about ease. It’s about feeling good in what you wear and knowing that you look put together without having to overthink it. It’s the kind of look that works for real life—your life. Whether you’re shopping online from your couch in Mt. Lebanon or stopping by our store downtown, we’re here to help you find pieces that feel like you.
So if you’ve been looking for something fresh, something that feels like a little bit of sunshine in your wardrobe, this might just be it. And if you’re not sure how to style it, or what size to go with, we’re always happy to help. That’s what we’re here for.
