Dresses - Daytime Event

How many of you need a dress for an upcoming daytime wedding, graduation, bridal shower, or charity lunch? The idea of selecting the right dress and accessories can be a challenge. But Tula is here to help. We just happen to be experts at this and, though we couldn't include everything in this post, we gathered our top picks for a daytime event.


Three Dots blue jersey maxi $188



















Wear it with anything! To keep it from looking too casual kick up the accessories a notch with some Anna Beck jewelry or a colorful wrap.

Anna Beck silver pendant $138
Anna Beck gold pendant $180
Virginia Johnson scarf $210














Three Dots black jersey dress $170



















This dress looks amazing on so many body types - it may be knitted with magic. It also works with so many styles of jewelry. Try some rustic Chan Luu pieces for a festive summer touch.

Chan Luu shell pendants $172 each
Chan Luu turquoise earrings $78














Organic gray silk slip $385



















We can't think of a better shoe than our Bo'em feather sandals with this sophisticated slip. And for jewelry, Danielle Welmond strikes just the right note if you're dressing up.

Bo'em feather sandal $238
Danielle Welmond topaz pendant $448











Hache stripe silk dress $650



















It barely needs any accessorizing, with the colorful and unusual stripes. But our Geo Art bangles coordinate surprisingly well with this dress--the colors harmonize beautifully without looking matchy.

Geo Art bangles $22 each










Geren Ford yellow silk dress $318



















A burst of sunshine that works great with a breezy scarf. The simple shape and solid color make this style a blank palette for accessories.

Sete di Jaipur silk scarf $112










Fiumicelli red silk dress $299



















A traffic stopping color and silhouette. The ribbon tie is optional and jewelry is a breeze, with either a pop of blue calcite (also suggested for an evening look in our next post) or any gold or silver accessories.

Becky Kelso calcite pendant $379












Fiumicelli printed silk dress $340



















Statement-making, sexy, and optimistic. Silver and gold are your best options when choosing jewelry and shoes for this number.

Adina Reyter silver circle $149
Adina Reyter gold circle $396














Fiumicelli blue silk dress $310



















It features a racerback design and the tie is optional. We think our Alexis Bittar lucite jewelry really glows against this electric blue.

Alexis Bittar lucite jewelry $78 - $268










DieterBennett sherbert cotton dress $640



















Locally designed, with a European feel. It's classic with a twist. And for events that call for a little more coverage this is a winning option. This Chan Luu stone necklace really completes the look.

Chan Luu beaded necklace $319














Allude black jersey dress $219



















It's a classic silhouette, with a Grecian waistline. We like the impact of a Becky Kelso silver medallion, but Anna Beck is another excellent choice of jewelry for this style.

Becky Kelso silver medallion $368
Anna Beck disk earrings $110
Anna Beck teardrop hoops $198
Anna Beck silver cuff $210












Adam blue maxi $548



















This cloud-like design is perfectly complimented with an airy scarf like our Chan Luu silk and cashmere blend.

Chan Luu scarf $178








Lastly, here is a sampling of some summer clutches and shoes to choose from at Tula.

Bo'em sandals $228 - $238
Hat Attack raffia clutches $90 each

Any jewelry will do. Have fun with this ecclectic beaded design by Wendy Mink.

Organic gray silk slip $385



















This simple slip goes with just about everything - scarves, delicate or bold jewelry, neutral or bright colors. To keep it casual, we'll suggest a chunky necklace.

Wendy Mink resin necklace $270














Hache stripe silk dress $650



















These stripes are such an interesting combination of colors. And for a clever match of accessories you can't go wrong with our Geo Art bangles.

Geo Art bangles, $24 each










Allude black jersey dress $219



















This dress will make an appearance later for both a daytime and evening event. It's that versatile. The drape, details, and cut work in everyone's favor. To keep it casual, try rustic beaded designs by Chan Luu.

Chan Luu turquoise wrap (necklace or bracelet) $319









Geren Ford yellow silk dress $318



















This is a cheerful option, especially when paired with some colorful accessories.
