Wedding Season is here! Let us help you find the perfect dress!

Whether you are attending someone’s special day or part of a wedding party, we have so many great dresses for wedding season! Also, we understand that no one wants to buy a dress they will only wear once! So many of our dresses can be dressed-down with a jean jacket and sandals, or dressed-up just by adding an Obi belt, some jewelry, and a cute pair of heels so you can be the right amount of chic for your event. Let us help you find an outfit you can wear for not only your special event but also for years and years to come.


One of our go-to dresses for a wedding is Sarah Bibb’s Kari dress. With a split flutter sleeve and a wrap front, this dress is so special and romantic, but also easy to wear! Layer one of Sarah Bibb’s Portland-made slips underneath that doubles as lingerie and you have a beautiful and versatile outfit perfect for summer.


This Bel Kazan Odelle Dress is just the thing for a beach wedding and is a great contender for dressing up or down! I love this subtle geometric print!


Have a barn wedding in wine country to attend? Sarah Bibb’s Nora in Pansy is a no-brainer! Pair it with an Obi belt to break up the print and make it feel a little more formal. We have many great options for wedding season, whether your event is more casual or formal. Come visit us and let us help you find the perfect dress!

Have a dress you already love but need a slip? We have just the thing!

Perfect Transition Pieces to Carry you Through Summer and Fall!

The perfect light weight cardigan! The Lauren Cardi is a Folly Favorite. So soft and easy. Perfect on cool summer evenings or in your arctic A/C blasting office building. Fantastic as an every day layer in the fall!
Looks great over dresses, tees, everything in between. 

Graphic B&W! The perfect compliment to bright summer shades and a wonderful statement print in a monochrome outfit. The Caroline Tee is one of our staples because its slim, just to the hip, and so flattering. Great tucked into a skirt or paired with your favorite jeans.

We love a black base floral. Romantic, classic, easy to wear. Sleeveless = great for hot summer days. So cute with a white or light grey pant! Sleeveless also means great under a blazer in the fall! We love pieces you can wear year round and the Pepper Tie Top is no exception!

I'm a little obsessed with this Georgie Tunic...how could I not be? It matches my glasses! The perfect swing tunic. Cute and breezy and great with leggings and booties too. The dusty primrose print is so season neutral. Love it! Would be sooooo adorable with a denim jacket and a brown cowboy boot.

Fall = Luxurious Fabrics, Soft and Cozies, Layering Lovelies!

Ah, September is just a couple days away! It's such a lovely time here in Portland. Warm, but not too hot. Sunny and bright with a little rain here and there...Oh! And the kiddies are back in school. Yes! More YOU time. In the midst of all the back to school madness, why don't you pause for a minute, get yourself an almond milk latte and come to Folly to treat yourself. If there's anytime of year you reeeeally deserve it, it's now. Yes I know it's a little bittersweet saying goodbye to Summer, but think of all the hot toddies and pumpkin pie in your future!

The marled light grey knit goes with everything. Long sleeves. Roomy patch pockets. Easy fit.
It will keep your in a warm cozy embrace all the way until next Summer!

And if you need the perfect easy long sleeve tee...This heather striped beauty will do it!
Nice and light. Soft and cozy. A dramatic split hi-lo hem. 
Perfect over skinnies, or a heavy weight ponte legging if you are so inclined.

The Caroline is back! Your perfect "not too fitted, not too loose, not too long, not too short" T-shirt!
3/4 sleeve is nice and easy for layering. Soft. The perfect fit for pants or skirts, and tucking in too!

Not Totally Ready to Say Goodbye to Summer? No Worries!

We've got the perfect transition pieces for you. Super summery and easy now, but perfect for layering too!

This gorgeous silk dress is the perfect thing to wear for end of summer wedding or picnics in the park. But! Also adorable with some tights and boots. We love this easy flowy look. Effortless and beautiful!

Okay I have to admit...when I walked into the store the other morning and saw culottes on the rack I was a liiiiittle skeptical. But then I tried them on (perk of being the shop girl!) and OHMYGOSH. These are so cute, flattering, silky, lovely! An easy breezy cotton poly blend. Adorable now with a tank top and sandals. Adorable later with a blouse tucked in and heels! 

A lovely lace skirt! The perfect thing to wear on hot hot days over a little half slip. The perfect thing on cozy cold days with leggings and a sweater! Totally cute ballerina style. 
I have hearts in my eyes ♥ _ ♥

I love this mixed print dress! Look how cute with my strappy platform sandals! It's perfect for the rest of summer just like this. Loose and easy means that it's nice and cool even with long sleeves! Pair with some sweater tights or leggings and knee high boots of course. 


So don't be too sad Summer is almost over! I always get a little bummed until I remember how FUN dressing up is in the Fall. Layers. Cozy. Soft. Ahhh it's so nice! Walking down the street with red and yellow leaves everywhere while sipping a hot cocoa and wearing some yummy cashmere! Sounds pretty nice to me.

Summer is Here! Our Favorite Light and Breezy Things this Month!

The weather has been amazing! Sunny and warm...oh so perfect. I'm definitely in summer mode which means breezy dresses, loose easy pants, and lots of sandals! My toes will be out all Summer! 

Here are some of my cool and cute faves right now :)


PERFECT for when it's incredibly hot! Loose and easy, made of a light cotton, and oh so festive! Who doesn't want to sip a Tiki drink in this gorgeous dress? The perfect Sunday dress...and perfect for your Hawaiian Vacation! 


A great little mini sun dress! Above the knee. Sooooo light and breezy. If you're like me and love wearing black all year round you know how HOT it can get! Well no fear! Gauzy. Loose. Room to breathe! 
And would be SO cute in the fall layered over super skinny jeans or leggings and boots. Cute cute cute!


Beautifully romantic. The Emily is a classic style, but extra cute with Sarah Bibb's signature contrast binding! The sweet illustrative flower print is so cute when paired with a classic b&w polka dot. Girly, vintage sweet, and a little bit artsy in this gorgeous light and floaty silk. Pair with an Ava Slip for the perfect event outfit.


This Cropped Jacket is a new Folly Favorite. Instead of a cardigan! It's perfect for summer because it is great for layering, while still being light and easy. So cute with a tank top and jeans, or a little dress! I Love it over our Lucy Dress as shown here. And the DeDe comes in tons of color options! Pick your favorite.

What makes a girl happier than sunshine yellow? Not much! And this color is easy to wear too! Yellows normally wash me out but Sarah Bibb hand dyed this shade and it's so perfect! Happy and bright. This screams sunshine and summer! Not too long. Easy to tuck into skirts! And the perfect sleeve.

Berry, Pink, and Watermelon! Our fave colors for summer....



Summer is nearly here! It's been so warm here in Portland the past few weeks I can hardly believe it. I've been waking up every morning to a new surprise in my backyard garden! Roses, veggies, irises...spring has really sprung! Now that mothers day is over it's time to treat yourself ladies! I know plenty of you got Folly Gift Cards! ♥

Now it's time to figure out what you need. We are full to the brim at Folly with beautiful pieces for everyone. Right now I'm really loving the pinks, corals, and reds we have in store!

This is the perfect a-line dress! Silk with a little bit of stretch for an easy fit. 
Berries are really flattering on everyone! 

The always perfect Nora dress in Peony
Party it up in the Nora! Shes the perfect dress for weddings, picnics, parties, dinners...
Oh she does it all! Light as air silk in the prettiest blush and red. 

The Jenni is the perfect dress up tee! Great for a more polished look. 
Perfect for work and play!!

Jenni Dress - Berry
The Jenni also makes a phenomenal dress! The bell sleeves and cowl neck really lend themselves 
to a little dressier look than your average knit dress. Great for work. Pockets! Who loves ya?

This is one of my favorite Sarah Bibb designs! A nice flowy cape dress that fits just right through the body.
Sexy, comfy, chic! 

Mini Candles in Goji Berry and Huckleberry
And last but not least...treat yourself to some of our favorite summer berry scents!

New Louie et Lucie...Again! Yay!


Can you tell Louie et Lucie is one of our favorite lines?! Ah we love it so much! ♥ It is so cute, it is an AMAZING price point, and the best prints! 

L&L always have the cutest prints...I love this summery Asian inspired lantern print! This skirt is the perfect length and in a classic swing-y a-line silhouette. So adorable with a tee for a casual look, or pair with a little button up and a cardigan! Don't sacrifice your quirky style...this is totally work appropriate!


This is also a perfect and classic a-line skirt...perfect for picnics and sunshine-y days. Look so fresh with a crisp white shirt and sandals! Adorable for real...and affordable too!




Look at this adorable, perfect, and CUTE crossback dress! 
This dress is made of Organic Cotton! At $81 can you believe it?!
The sweetest summer dress. You can even wear it with a fresh cardi to a daytime wedding! 
You're welcome ;)

This is the same style dress as above...also in an organic cotton! But instead of sweet and girly this print is classic and sporty for sure! Perhaps take this lovely thing out on a sailboat or a yacht? 







Last but not least is this lovely black, white, and pastel printed version! 
This dress is made of a different material. Slinkier and more generous than the cottons. 
Can you tell we love this cut? It is so easy and comfy-cute!
