29 Dreamy Outfits I Just Can't Stop Looking At

by Hannah Almassi

If pink is your pet fashion peeve, look away. Serving as the antithesis to the otherwise ultra-sleek, uber-beige looks going on elsewhere in social media (and the real world) an army of women are marching to their own, far jazzier drumbeat. In certain circles, it's very cool to wear the shiniest, most saccharine party dress you can to brunch. Over the past few weeks, I've been collating all of the dreamy outfits that have stopped me in my scrolling tracks, and here are the results. From shimmering paillette-covered gowns worn with cowboy boots to marabou trim on everything, these are the very prettiest ensembles to indulge your maximalist leanings.

This going-out look from Jessie Bush of @wethepeoplestyle has been crazy popular on Instagram. Her top is from a small independent French brand called Aurore Van Milhem.

@maria_bernad

I'm so sad Maria Bernad's feather-trimmed jumper from Uterqüe so out so quickly, but there's still so much inspiration to take from this 1930s-inspired look.

@swaggaismything

Luna's dress collection is pretty epic, but this one brings together the prettiest fabric in a more sassy silhouette. Perfect for those who don't want to look twee.

@tineandrea

Tine's delightful Stine Goya smock has so much fabric in it, you'd want to spin around all damn day. Into the matching cornflower-blue pumps, too.

Sade didn't stop at the pretty floral dress—she added plenty of accessories to really play into the cute theme.

Lucy's sparkly H&M dress sold out in a flash (quelle surprise), but there's still a major takeaway for us all here: Wear fancy dresses with cowboy boots more often.

@katieismonster

Not to sound like a stalker, but I've noticed Katie around London before, and she always has the most dramatic, amazing outfits on. This Cecilie Bahnsen creation is no exception.

Dreamy outfits: pink puff sleeve top worn with jeans

The hat, the ribbon tie, the dress, the bag, the sandals… There's nothing about this pitch-perfect look from Alyssa that I don't want to copy right away.

Dreamy outfits: white mini dress worn with sneakers

Janka's flamenco-girl skirt could be dressed for an evening event, but it also works very well for day with a cosy knit.

When you need to amp up a simple dress, make like Emili Sindlev and her pal by adding a chain belt, big earrings and heels.
