The best pieces of clothing transcend age, trends, and ownership. This is the case with this old Madewell dress. I got it from my younger sister when she was cleaning out her closet. My favorite way to wear it is casually, with sneakers and a light jacket, the layering of which is key for spring weather. This time, I dressed it up with some new Steve Madden block heel sandals from my Spring Summer Capsule and a denim jacket, also from Madewell.

Madewell tends to have a lot of easy cotton dresses that are perfect on their own or layered. I love some of the options below:

stripe, denim, embroidered chambray

And add-ons to dress it up or down:

Steve Madden (same as mine), Vans, Soludos

denim, army, leather – all Madewell
