Coastal Organic Wrap Dress
The Coastal Organic Wrap Dress is my favorite of their two dresses I own. Fun fact: It’s actually a really similar wrap style to a dress I once had as part of a job uniform that had to be returned. In a rare instance of actually loving my uniform, I've been trying to find another ever since, so to say I was ecstatic when it arrived is an understatement. With an inner hole to thread one of the ties through before wrapping around, it’s super secure and comfortable, even when in motion. No need to worry about it coming untied, even on a windy Wyoming day where I live (which is most of them).

Floral Organic Dress
While I love the wrap style of the Coastal Organic Dress, this style is a close second, being really similar in overall cut and aesthetic, just without the wrap. The bright salmon color is perfect for providing a bright pop of color to my summer wardrobe and the ultra soft organic cotton is incredibly breezy and cool.
