Ready for vacation mode?! I am for sure! (Ignore the fact that I just came back from one!) Take me away to the beautiful Italian or French Riviera coast. I’d even settle for the West Coast (aka LA where these pictures were taken) to wear this comfy metallic caftan dress.
I love how a caftan dress can translate to instant glamour (think Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Rachel Zoe) or a casual day at the beach. That’s the beauty of a caftan dress! You feel like you’re walking around in pajamas while you’re looking fabulous!
Vacation coming up? Spring Wedding around the corner? Baby Shower to attend? Festival that you must hit? The caftan dress will be your new BFF because you can wear it for all of these occasions!
The trick is in how you accessorize it! You can go glam like I did with loads of gold/ metallic accessories and dressy heels. Keep it casual with flat sandals and a straw bag.
THE STYLE Rx: A caftan dress will take you all the places you want to be! You just need the right accessories! ;)
The shopping fairies were with me at Saks in LA when I spotted this magnificent metallic dress on major sale which happened to be in my size! Anyhow, I’ve worn it with gold accessories for a mixed metallic look. This is what I wore to the Rachel Zoe brand meeting and the Ralph Lauren event (where I got my new fave utility jacket) that I highlighted on my Instagram Stories.
I’ve shown some caftans of all price ranges below! If you have a money tree, then check out these two amazing caftans/investment pieces. This Dolce & Gabbana one shoulder caftan is out of this world gorgeous, and this Talitha kimono caftan is so beautiful in color and pattern.

By the way, SHOPBOP is having one of their major sales which includes full-price and sale items! Buy More and SAVE More (up to 25%) with code SPRING18! This is when I nab my favorite designer pieces and stock up on basics. Here is what I’m currently loving!
- I’m not even joking. I am COMPLETELY OBSESSED with everything from the Veronica Beard line including this flounce dress! I purchased this pink blazer and matching pants because who doesn’t need a power pink suit? Plus, I’ve worn the blazer with this dickey (20% off) and graphic tee with jeans and sneakers for a polished travel look!
- These cropped white jeans are perfect for Spring/Summer. They are high-rise (making them super slimming) and just the right length so I didn’t have to cut or hem them, and I have the light wash version. (I’m 5’4″) I also have this brand cut-off shorts. (as seen in this Chic at Every Age)
- I still LOVE my mom “wedgie” jeans, and now you can get them for 20% off! Can’t go wrong with Levi’s! BTW, these are rigid denim which doesn’t have stretch. I took my usual size 26. (Seen here and here)
- As far as jewelry goes, I’m loving all of the 90s trends that are back in style! These hoop earrings are so fun!
- Every season, I want to try this scalloped swimwear. Maybe now that it’s on sale, I will!
- I’m obsessed with STARS everything, and this dress is a stunner and statement maker for sure!
- I was late to the sneakers band-wagon, but now I’m fully on board. These sneakers are super cute and less than $60 after the sale! (Sneaker-wearing girl here!)
- These arc bags are just gorgeous, and I’m so in love with the pink!
Thank you so much for stopping by and supporting SOS! I truly appreciate it!
