Floral One Shoulder Deluca Dress from Show Me Your Mumu

I adore this one-shoulder floral Deluca Dress from Show Me Your Mumu (under $200). The blue floral print is amazing for a spring-summer look to have all season long, not just Mother’s Day.

Dressy Mother's Day Outfit Ideas

If you’re attending a fancier brunch or dinner, you may want to consider something a bit dressier.

Antonio Melani Pippa Floral Print Tie Shoulder Peplum Midi Dress

And by fancy brunch, I mean a reservation at the Brown Palace and the like. For that, I think this peplum midi dress (under $200) by Antonio Melani x Born on Fifth is the perfect formal brunch attire.

This is such a beautiful and unique dress. It’s great for a dressy Mother’s Day outfit, and also amazing for a summer garden party or an outdoor wedding as well. I love the print and the silhouette of this dress. The chinoiserie print on the cotton blend fabric, along with peplum detail and fish tail make this dress so flattering. I highly recommend this mule to go with it!
