In the market for a sophisticated dress with a) a rather timeless cut; b) that you can wear this Easter weekend or to upcoming spring weddings?; or c) is just so darn cute and has pockets; d) all of the above! Well friends look no further, because here it is – the Kate Spade Swift dress (mind you, on sale!) Here I’ve dressed up this cocktail dress with some gorgeous jewels via my friends at Lewis Jewelry and some super fun pumps for a more sophisticated look. However, this dress could easily work as an Easter dress if paired with some lighter heels – perhaps these Dee Keller heeled sandals – and more subtle jewels, like these Jude Frances huggie earrings.

I’d say, keep the ring, for any occasion with this dress. It’s by local Houston designer Orbis Jewelry who has made these way cool rings for multiple years in which you can switch out the stone on a regular basis! I really thought this purple opal stone I chose drew upon all the colors I tied together; the stone itself is only $40! Invest in an Orbis Jewelry ring and then the stones can be the fun part to collect and completely change up the look on a regular basis.

But above all else, who isn’t a major sucker for a dress with pockets?! I know I am, and this one gets me good, real good.
