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.
