Light Blue and White Outfits: The Formal Edit

If you only buy one thing today...

I can’t help myself - it’s a tie - these are two of the best dresses I’ve seen in a long time!

For Her

Floral Lace Dress - This is the ultimate blue and white dress. Equal parts classic and fresh with the floral applique, and a super flattering fit, this will photograph incredibly well and stand the test of time. BONUS! I shared this sleeveless version on Instagram because it’s such a steal! Follow CarolMadeMeDoIt on IG or sign up for emails to get sale alerts!

Classic Navy Pumps - With the texture of the dress, keep it simple and clean with these pumps.

Triple Strand Pearl Bracelet - Up the ante with a 3-strand pearl bracelet - a bigger look for your photos, and sure to be a heirloom to come. Plus, the number 3 is always so meaningful for families!

Sleeveless Dress - This solid dress is a solid choice. Adding a fitted cardigan (short, not too long) is also an option, or a long necklace, or keep it clean and classic with the beautiful tailoring in the light blue beauty - lots of versatility in styling!

Scalloped Heels - Against the clean lines of the dress, introduce a bit of whimsy with the scallop edge of this recognizable pump. IYKYK.

Pearl Headband - Keep the other accessories minimal but say it all with this straight from the Upper East Side headband.

For Him

Cashmere Sweater - Major sale alert on this classic blue sweater!

Blue Pants - Ground your whole color scheme with the patriarch of the family with these pants

Classic Loafers - He may already have these in his closet, so check before purchasing!

Striped Sweater - Yes, it is striped! The subtle detail adds interest to the eye in the great find

Cream Pants - A tried-and-true fit and staple for his closet and seasons to come

Driving Mocs - You can’t go wrong with blue suede shoes, and show that you’re not taking yourself too seriously with a bit of a fun shoe!

For Girl

Petal Dress - This sweet little dress was made for family events and family photos!

Blue Shoes - The scalloping on these shoes plays off the petals of the dress nicely, not to mention the shoes for mom!

Floral Print Dress with Sash - I mean, is there a more perfect dress than this?! It is everything and more!

Patent Ballet Flats - Keep the shoes simple with such a beautiful dress

For Boy

Cardigan - There’s always something so sweet about a little boy in a cardigan - just ask Prince George!

Button-Down Shirt - A beautiful pattern and classic shirt that keeps the outfit looking masculine

Cream Pants - Great staple for his little closet - but pack a change of clothes for playtime!

Wingtip Sneaker - This outfit is all about juxtaposition and mixing it up, just like these sneakers with wingtip detailing!

Cardigan - Pair the littlest one in a cardigan as well to tie it all together. Note that this cardigan could easily be unisex - swap out the bottoms with a skirt - to get use out of it for years and kids to come

Pants with Belt - Another super sale, and belt included!

Driving mocs - Twin with dad with a classic pair of driving mocs
