I mean,who doesn’t love pockets? They make everything so convenient. I love just being able to throw my phone and keys in my pockets and run. And up until a couple years ago, pockets on dresses were not common at all. But this is one trend I hope never goes out of style.
I got this dress just days before wearing it, which rarely happens lately. I couldn’t wait to wear this comfy lace shift dress by District, not only because of the feminine fabric & laid back silhouette, but obviously because of the pockets!
{ dress: ℅ District Collection // necklace: ℅ Crafts & Love // bag: Ralph Lauren (sold out), similar // sandals: Niccolo Vacari, similar }
I wore this simple look running errands and plant shopping earlier this week. Then I headed over to dinner & drinks with fellow blogger Allison. We went to True Food Kitchen and I just have to say: It was amazing!!! Definitely my new fave. I totally understand why everyone in Atlanta has been obsessing over it since they opened. We had a great time chatting and actually meeting in person for the first time, even though I feel like I’ve known her for years! This blogging world is crazy, isn’t it?
What are your thoughts on pockets?

I agree! Sometimes that is the final decision maker when it comes to picking out dresses: does it have pockets?

I love pockets but I never have any so I always have a bag with me so that I can carry what I’ll need 🙂 xx Tilsie (Tilise.blogspot.se)

Such a great, easy summer look. I am all for pockets on dresses, they make the dress that much better. However I have purchased a dress where the pockets did not lay flat and were positioned weird…it was horrible and accentuated my hips way too much…so I guess you have to be careful!

Eeek! That doesn’t sound good at all. I have heard of people cutting pockets out before though, so I can totally see that!

Lovely dress!
I am a fan of how the soft taupes and tans pull out the bag and sandals accents, all while set against the white of your dress. 🙂
Your blog is really great.

I love dresses with pockets as well! So convenient. And that dress looks great on you! I really love how you paired it with the brown tote and simple sandals, then topped it off with that long necklace. Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best. 🙂

I love pockets in dresses! I always wonder where to put my stuff when I can’t bring a purse. I wish all dresses come with pockets!

I love pockets. They give me a place to throw my tissues (gross, I know.. I’m like an old man) and my hands, instead of biting my nails or tapping on things. And they just add a cute, unexpected detail!
Megan
August 4, 2014 @ 10:18 am
Haha, that is a good idea!! I need to carry tissues more often. Since I’m always freezing, my nose is always running!

This LWD is gorgeous and I’m in love with your sold out bag 🙁 pockets on dresses are the best! I’m not a big shorts person and am obsessed with day dresses such as this one for the warmer weather.
