I am in a fashion slump to be honest. I find myself here every summer, mid-summer, because to be honest my wardrobe at the lake is the same most days, denim shorts and a tee, bathing suit and cover-up, leggings and sweatshirt with either flip flops or my converse shoes. That’s basically on repeat everyday and I find it difficult too justify buying anything new or super cute because I don’t really have anywhere to wear it. I also take a lot of lake showers and live with my hair up. I love this and honestly don’t have any desire to change it up or wish this time away.

That begin said occasionally, on a cool and cloudy day, I just feel like I could use a good scrub down, to do my hair and to put on a pretty dress. 😊 I am currently really craving a date night, under the city lights, all dressed up and having a delicious cocktail on a fabulous patio, like Drift in our city. Since that isn’t going to happen, I was searching through my photos from Mexico way back in February and I stumbled upon these pictures which totally match my current daydream state. This was my 2018 summer dress that I wore all the time and I still love it. I love the fluttery feel of it, the slightly teasing cold-shoulders, and the belt that adds just a little boho vibe and the added flower in the hair making it a perfect summer edition. I went on a mass spring/summer purge this year, but this was a dress that has stayed safely in my closet and is completely wearable to work, with a cardigan or my kimono over top.

| Cheers my friends and enjoy the last weeks of summer. Don't rush it or wish it away, just bask in its warmth. |
I struggle with summer just because I dont like to show my arms & not carrying about my legs. I'm all about covering up the body - not showing it off...
ReplyDeleteLove your look - & that flower in the hair is just the cherry on top. Gorgeous
I totally get that, we all have our own insecurities that make different seasons difficult. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
DeleteAh that dress is so pretty on you so I'm glad you kept it. Summer always kind of does that, any season really. It's when I start getting bored of the reaching for the same items day after day. Maybe try getting a fun tank or new coverup just to switch things up a bit? Sounds like you guys are having a blast though!

That's such a good idea, just adding one simple new piece into the mix. Now that I am home and back to work, I am getting to wear all my "work" clothes.
DeleteI get really casual in the summer too, I almost look forward to the cooler season and the layers that come with it by the end of summer. Not that I want it to go away though, it's my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI love playing with layers too and bring on all the shoe options 😆. On the other hand, I don't want to wish summer away.
DeleteBeautiful dress. It has a timeless feel, so you can keep wearing it year after year. :]

ReplyDeleteHope to see you on the #linkup
Thanks so much. For me too.
DeleteAgreed. Summer is too short, so I certainly don't want to wish it away. 😊
ReplyDeleteI love that chambray dress! I find summer outfits so exciting, shorts and dresses and colourful pieces that don't need any extra accessories! I think that winter is the hardest season to dress for, lucky it doesn't last long here, but I feel I get into a rut with jeans and it gets a bit boring!
ReplyDeleteHope that you had a great weekend :)
