Dreaming of Spring Day Dresses in the Snow

I have three baby showers coming up and while I'm waiting on the snow to start falling I can't help but long for some cute spring dresses. My showers are March 2nd (in NYC) and March 8th (Birmingham) and April (in NYC). I want one (or two) that I could wear to these parties, out to dinner in the city, maybe even work. I would love something I could wear now by adding tights and a sweater for the 1st shower and then it would still work for the later spring events I have. This is what I found tonight...thoughts...opinions...love them? hate them?

Lilly on sale...

This one would be perfect right now with some tights...

If I wasn't on a budget this is my FAVORITE...

I think I would need to try this one on, but it is so cute!

Another one I would probably need to try on. It would look oh so cute with my new TB Gold Revas!

Maybe not in the budget, but still so cute!

I'm a Diane fan, and I liked this one the 1st time I saw it--now not so sure.

Love this and the price is right, but would it look like a sack on me?

I've obviously got a black and white thing going on here. Didn't even realize it. This could be cute?

Someone needs to go to BR and actually try all these on. Does anyone own this one?

LOVE this for work and running around the city, but not really want I'm going for SPECIAL occasion. For the $ should I get it anyways? Again, Gold TB would be oh so cute =)

This one just makes me smile, must be the green.

Not really "me," but I love it anyways...I think...

Still longing for this one, but not sure if I want to wear a sweater to every event. Might need some sleeves? But, LOVE this dress!

Cheap...check. Lilly...check. Spring...check. Cute...kinda?

I think the Lilly wrap shirtdress could be perfect for showers.

Loving BR this season too!

Have fun choosing!

Lord & Taylor on Fifth Avenue is having the BEST SALE EVER!! There are also 2 coupons (link below) that work on everything in the store -- regular, sale & clearance merchandise.

I think they are all cute! I love the BR black and white cap sleeve dress with the circle print. I have liked that since I first saw it and now that it is on sale ... hmm...

I have the Banana Republic cap sleeve ring print dress and I love it! I dont know what your figure is like, but it is the perfect fit for my petite hourglass figure. Im a size 2 or 4, and usually have a hard time because Im very busty. A lot of dresses smush me, so I end up wearing shapeless shifts or wrap dresses that will adjust to my "girls". The small was cut just right and the shirred waistline is slimming and flattering. You have a lot of cuties here, though! So hard to choose.

I love the first dress. I just bought one almost identical to it at Black House and White Market. It was on sale too.

i LOVE the BR dress. the giraffe print from nordstroms is also cute, but kind of dark for a shower. i like the diane dress as well, its kind of spring-y :) thanks for sharing--you have great taste!!
