Summer Dressing


What have I been wearing?!?  Well if I am being honest not a whole lot, LOL.  Since most of my summer is spent at the lake my clothing consists of my bathing suit, shorts and a tee-shirt, lululemon gear, bunny hug, messy hair and no make-up.  Seriously, I wear the same few things over and over and I love it.
 
This is what I actually look like people.  Messy hair.  No make-up.  Exhausted mama, nursing herself with a glass of red.

That being said, the odd time there happens to be a reason to pull out my hair straightener, put on some make up and grab a dress, I am totally psyched!  There really has only been a couple of times that we’ve done something other then the beach, hike, or fire, and I wore the same dress for both occasions because it’s quick, easy and vibrant.  Now that summer coming to an end it’s the perfect time to stock up a few key items for your winter beach getaway, like a fun, bold and patterned dress.  I love all the colors in this little number and more importantly I like how it flows and nothing sticks to you.  There is noting worse in the heat then close that cling to you as you sweat and or eat/drink.
 


A dress with a great pattern really doesn’t need anything else to make a statement, but some simple accessories like stacked bracelets, I wear them ALL the time, and of course the tassel earrings will never let you down.  I added this lovely, duster cardigan to keep me warm as the evening air sets in.
 

Family dinner night out at the Candle Lake Golf Course.  I say we all cleaned up pretty nice.

Local artists had an outdoor concert up at our lake and we were able to go on a double date with our friends.


It’s back to city life in a couple of days, meaning that I’ll be back to dressing up daily 😊 Another great summer is coming to an end and it’s always hard to move on, even though I am always excited for another school year to kick off.
 


How do you feel about summers end?

  2. I love summer fashion and being able to wear lighter pieces. I'm sad it's coming to an end. I love so much about fall and the new adventures on the way but the summer will always have my heart. Sierra Beautifully Candid

    1. I feel the same way. Summer is all about an easy going lifestyle for us and though I thrive on routine, I always feel sad that summer is coming to an end. I often find it more of a transitional piece then when we reach a new year in January. I am excited to see what fall brings for you and your growing family.

  3. I don't know how I feel about summer ending. In a way I am happy because I am not a fan of the heat but on the other hand, that means the year is more than halfway done and that seems a bit scary. Scary in the sense that time is flying by and while I know I am happy with events going on in my life, it also means some chapters are ending. So I am torn. On a different note, I don't dress up all that much either even though we live in the city. A lot of the times it's running around with my son and errands so I am dressed for comfort. Love this printed dress of yours! It's unique and easy to wear. You look beautiful!

    1. Oh Maureen I always feel like you put my thoughts and feelings into words so well. That's exactly it. I find summer ending is a bigger milestone or marker of time than new years. My kids are always transition and this year is no exception. Thanks for the complement.

  4. The bright knitted dress is so much fun for summer! Looks like you have had a really fun summer. I like fall because it's all about being cozy, soups and the start of the holidays!

  5. I'm actually SO READY for this summer to end! We've had such bad fires and smoke here in Washington that I'm ready for cooler temps, rain, and a more temperate climate. Plus, is it just me or is fall fashion so much cuter?! Your outfits are adorable, by the way :)
