Warm weather has finally arrived, and finally we can put away the tights, coats, and jackets for another year. This time of year has always got me thinking pretty spring dresses and sandals.
I found this long sleeved mini floral print ruffle dress from SheInside. I love the long sleeves for this time of year. It can still be a little cool here, especially when the breeze is out, which is quite often here in Wyoming. But I’m thrilled this dress shows a little leg too, and actually I ran into something crazy this time, I don’t know how I haven’t thought of this earlier. Being 5’10, I buy a lot of dresses and skirts, especially from overseas, and they usually end up being way to short on me. I like to show some leg, but I hate feeling uncomfortable because the dress or skirt is just an inch or two, too short.
When I got this dress, it was a little on the uncomfortable short side, but I found a vegan leather skirt in my closet and wore it under, and ta da! Added length! I feel much more comfortable in this shorter dress, and I think the vegan leather actually looks like its almost built into this dress. I was so happy when I figured this little trick out, because I started thinking about lots of other dresses I have in my closet that I have to be feeling brave to wear because they are a bit too short, but now I have found the perfect solution! Think I will be picking up a few more skirts in solid, neutral colors, in the future to help expand my wardrobe a bit too. Now that I realize just how versatile they can actually be!
If you haven’t shopped SheInside lately, you really need to check this online fashion shop out ladies. SheInside has such a great selection of clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, jewelry and more! You can always find the latest trends here too, like overalls, geometric clothing, and more.
Also, like I said, I shop oversea shops a bunch, and SheInside offers a lot of the similar styles, prints, and trends, you can find in other popular stores, but they are almost always less expensive! If I see something I really like, I always check SheInside first to see if they have it, because I know I can get a better deal.
Also, although SheInside is super inexpensive, their clothes are always great quality. This is the fourth item I’ve gotten from them, and I’ve always been impressed with the durability, texture, and material of their clothing. The pieces are sturdy, and not super lightweight and see-through like you tend to get with a lot of inexpensive clothing.
The dress I’m wearing here, the Apricot Long Sleeve Contrast Floral Ruffle Dress is only $31 and comes in lots of different sizes! When I got my dress, I was impressed with how the material of the dress felt. It’s thicker and sturdy, and great quality like the other items I’ve tried from SheInside. It’s actually quite warm too, so I know I can wear this again in the fall and then with some black tights this coming winter.
The dress is also super comfortable too, and moves great. I didn’t have any weird or uncomfortable pulling. Walking, sitting, it always felt great on, every step of the way! For only $31, you can’t ask for more than that! This dress is a steal and great for those fashionistas who like their neutrals.

I definitely like the dress! I think-even though I am 5’4″ I no longer wear mini shirts! Those days are far gone–I definitely like your suggestion of wearing a longer skirt under the dress-it does look like it is part of the original dress.
I love the idea! I have a few skirts that are just a bit too short. I usually wear leggings or tights under, but a skirt would be great for summer.
Beautiful pink bag!
I am only 5’2″, so nothing is ever too short on me, but I like your tips!
It looks classy, great for the office. Love that handbag too!
The dress looks great on you and the vegan skirt underneath really looks like it is a part of the dress. Great outfit!
Cute outfit, love the colors, looks great on you!
the outfit is the bomb!
That’s a great idea – you can’t even tell that it wasn’t designed to be that way. You look fab!
If you hadn’t told us that it was two skirts, I would not have known. I love that idea! I’ve seen skirts and dress I really love, but were just too short… what a great solution! You look gorgeous, btw!
Wow! you carried that dress really well. I love the belt used to give the dress more style statement. NIce heels too
That really is super cute. You’d never know it wasn’t part of the intended skirt.
What a great idea!
great idea, i am not much of a dress person but I like the simple style and design of that dress, the top look nice and formal.
this outfit is so pretty!
perfect dress
You pull off skater skirts so well!!
LOVEEE this skirt! I wish I would get myself to wear skirts more! I have tons but I never actually wear them?!?
I would have never guessed that you were wearing the second skirt underneath, it looks fantastic! I’m only 5’2″, but the older I get the more awkward I feel in shorter dresses. I’m going to have to try this, thank you!
Perfect look! Definitely like it!
