The Best Floral Dress Options for a Pear Shape

Is it starting to warm up in your neck of the woods? Whether the temperature is ACTUALLY heating up or you're just wishing it was, I'm pretty sure we're all starting to dream about spring outfits.  One of my favorite spring wardrobe items? Great floral dress options.  I'm sharing a few of my favorites for a pear shape body!
Look for a great floral dress? Lipgloss & Crayons is sharing the best ones for a pear shape body!From Easter to spring bridal showers to brunches and more casual spring weddings……..floral dresses are a great way to add a little pep to your basic sunny weather wardrobe.  I usually invest in a new floral dress or two each spring, and wear them all the way through fall (as it starts to cool off, I usually just add a denim jacket and wear them for a little longer). 

The Best Floral Dress Options for a Pear Shape Body

Looking for the best floral dress options for a pear shape body? Lifestyle blogger Lipgloss & Crayons is sharing her top picks for spring dress outfits!

SHOP MY FAVORITE FLORAL DRESS OPTIONS:

For reference, I usually wear a size 10 in pants and a medium on top.  I'm 5'6 and weigh 157 pounds.  I feel like it always helps to know measurements or sizing when looking for things that will look great on a similar body type.

When looking for a great dress for a pear shape body, I usually look for dresses that draw the eye up.  All of these have a pretty neckline, or sleeve and tend to be more flared on the bottom.

This blue floral dress is perfect for spring!

Eliza J High / Low Maxi Dress (size 10): This is my most recent floral dress, aren't the colors LOVELY? I wore it to the Peter Rabbit Movie premiere (you can see it in action in our family vlog) paired with a simple jean jacket and got a TON of compliments (Lydia even told me she wanted to be a grown up so she could wear one).

Planning for a spring wedding outfit? This floral ball gown is stunning!David's Bridal V-Neck High-Low Jaquard Ball Gown (size 10) : Looking for a fancier floral dress to wear to a wedding? I fell IN LOVE with this ball gown last summer, and have been basically waiting for wedding invitations so that I can wear it again.  I love the neutral tones.  It could easily be worn in the spring or summer with blush colored accessories or in the winter with pops of red and a simple red wrap. (you can see more pictures of this dress in our fall wedding dresses and flower girl dresses feature we did last summer).On the search for a great floral dress? This wrap dress is perfect for spring weddings or bridal shower outfit options!Eliza J High / Low Wrap Dress (size 10): Remember this amazing dress from my trip to New York?  It fits like a dream, and is perfect for wearing from day to night.  I wore it during the day with simple wedge sandals and then switched to heels for a dinner out! Wedding guest dress options? This floral maxi dress is STUNNING!

Eliza J Scarf Print Jersey Dress (size 10): This dress might be my favorite purchase from last summer.  The flowing skirt? The pretty sash? In fact, a bunch of my friends saw it when I first shared it in a Trunk Club post and bought it for summer weddings!  It's actually not available in this exact print, but in one that is VERY similar.

Are you floral dress obsessed? Don't forget to pin this blog post so that you're ready to shop when the weather warms up!

Have you ever attended a luau? This was the first Have you ever attended a luau?This was the first I’ve EVER attended (fun fact, when we came to Aulani 5 years ago we were supposed to and it was rained out). The night before on this trip, we had some storms and I thought….oh no, round 2? But……the Hawaiian sun did it’s job and the weather for this was PERFECT. To be honest, this was not cheap.  I was a little apprehensive about whether I would feel it was worth the money but…..WOW was it ever.  The food was amazing, there were really fun activities for kids at the beginning and the cultural performances were phenomenal.  All three of us (including not wanting to spend even more $$$ vacation Robbie) left raving about the experience. Aulani wins for us so far on this trip that I’m so glad I booked in advance (highly suggest doing this as far out from your trip dates as you can)- the luau (try night 2 or 3 of your trip so you’ve had time to adjust to the time change)- Aunty’s Beach House (this is still at limited capacity so you DO need to book in advance, I booked a session for days 2, day 3, and day 4 and we’ve enjoyed having a bit of time each day)- character dining and prix fix dinner at Makahiki (we are one big meal each vacation day people, so DON’T book these the same day, I’d do character breakfast early on your first full day….you’ll wake up early with the time change and the dinner on whichever night you AREN’T doing the luau)Already dreaming of booking another trip here.
🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Charac 🌴🌺Postcards from Aulani: the Food and Characters are the Best🌺🌴(if you could only pick one of these treats, what would it be?!?)🌺 Mickey Masubi from the Ulu Cafe🌴minnie red velvet waffles (character breakfast at Makahiki)🌺 aulani special from the coffee cart (available each morning until 10:30 am)🌴olu rice crispy treat from the Ulu CafeFav meals so far (ha) were both at Makahiki.  We LOVED the character breakfast (so many unique local food offerings) and the Disney Team treated us to the prix fix dinner our first night here….I can’t even begin to explain what a lovely experience it was.  Killer cocktails, a GREAT kids’ menu and I had the best Ahi of my life.Now swipe all the way to end for an appearance from Vacation Robbie.  We love to see it.And place your votes…..pick ONE treat.
Five years ago. This exact place. Robbie had jus Five years ago.  This exact place.  Robbie had just finished two years of grad school.  And it had been a long, tough two years.  That year involved one major teacher strike in my district, many many many jobs and gigs for both of us, minimal time off together, a whole lot of unknowns and a whole lot of stress.The Disney and Aulani team probably had no idea that they were giving us the gift of much needed peaceful time together when they invited us on a trip to this magical place.  A trip that….to be honest, was beyond our means at the time.  We cherished every moment. A lot has happened since then.  A move, buying a house, seeing those years of hard work pay off.  And now….we did it.  We’re back.  Lazy river here we come. TLDR? If you’re in the thick of it, I see you.  We’ve been there. Family, Welcome Home……we did it.  Aulani for the week.
Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
