Happy Tuesday, ladies! I'm writing you from my hotel in Greensboro, GA. I decided to take a little staycation this week. I'll be sharing all of the details next week, so stay tuned! But we've still got a great OOTD today: a spring FARM Rio dress that I have a feeling you're gonna love.
I've said it all Spring, but this year is all about bright & bold colors. And today's dress embodies that mantra perfectly. I'm loving this dress because of its flexibility. I can see styling it up or styling it down in a sort of boho-chic sorta way. However you style it, I know it's gonna turn heads and bring smiles to people's faces.
Today's featured item is a dress from FARM Rio
The dress is modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

Today's dress (Farm Rio) comes in multiple colors. I went with pink, but I'm loving the yellow as well. As with any bold color, pick one that works best for you---one that you're going to feel comfortable in and you think best complements your skin tone.
With such a stunning dress, accessories are going to do all the work for you in shaping the tenor of the outfit.

My accessories strike an ever-so-slightly more formal pitch today. I could imagine wearing this outfit to, say, a graduation or even an outdoor wedding.
But if you take a look at my alternative stylings below, the whole tenor of the dress can easily be changed by swapping out the shoes and bag.

Who needs a belt when you have this unbelievably cute o-ring detail. How fun is that?
One of my favorite aspects of dresses are the small details that set them apart from the pack. And today's dress does not disappoint.

Yesterday, I featured a jumpsuit from Banana Republic and showed you how to dress it up with accessories. Click the title or image below to read the article.

She’s 65, 5’8, and size 8.
I love the color of this dress, but sadly since I am only 5’3″ It would be too long for me. Will wait to see what Kelly shows next. Enjoy your trip.
don’t let your height stop you. i just saw a woman who is 5’1″ in this dress. she looked adorable. a good tailor comes in handy when it comes to hemlines.
Stunning! I do have a question—is it bare skin below that ring? That might influence where I would wear it. I am really liking these longer lengths this season.
Joan, I’m not Beth, obvs, but it looks to me like it is a ‘hole’ in the dress so bare skin under. Your comment made me think “well, a cami underneath is always an option” which lead me to think how much fun it could be to experiment with other pops of color there. Like orange and pink is always a fun combination, but can be a little scary, so an orange cami under would be a low stakes way of doing this. Or an electric blue under the yellow. The possibilities are endless and so fun!
That’s a fun idea, Lindsey!
yes, one of the big trends this year is cutouts which this dress showcases with a drawstring tie. you can cinch it tight or make it larger. but the fit of this dress is the best part. it’s so flattering and moves with you.
Thank you for doing a summary!
A beautiful vibrant dress and I love the accessories that complement and don’t overpower the dress. Appreciate the nail polish and sunnies too – a masterclass in attention to detail.
and the fit of the dress is so flattering! thanks so much for stopping by!
Would love to know polish color!
The dress is gorgeous and looks amazing on you. I don’t have an occasion to wear the dress but I am loving the cuff and the fresh water pearl necklace that you linked. Thanks for the great suggestions!
Beth, dress is stunning but did it “cling” to your legs?
no clinging just a nice soft drape.
That is a beautiful dress! The color is beautiful and the styling is so feminine!
