Maybe it's the '90s-fashion loyalist in us, but we're very committed to the denim trend these days.

SIR. The Label Vivi Open Back Mini Dress ($220, originally $380)

Styling this minidress with a pair of cream-colored sneakers is the perfect way to accent the polka-dot print and also add an element of ease to your look. In contrast to the exaggerated puff sleeves and feminine bow at the back, sneakers bring a sporty touch. Finish the outfit with a hands-free crossbody bag.

ME + EM Slub Jersey Smock Bodice Maxi Dress ($225)
