Wishing to Play Dress-Up

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.

What I wear every evening by the fire. 

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.  

What season do you find yourself struggling the most with in terms of your closet or fashion? 

Fashion Friday: Outdoor Summer Concert Outfit

The Jazz festival is a week long festival filled with great live music all over our town.  There is a free stage and several paid venues you can attend.  I love this event but unfortunately it always comes the last week of school and you usually I am so drained, and unorganized, that we don't get to experience it then way I wish we could.   Well this year it finally happened!!!!  Logan and I, along with friends hit up the outdoor concert venue to enjoy Walk Off The Earth. 

 

They were incredible live.  Sarah Blackwood was incredibly pregnant but that didn't slow her down.  Seriously, she killed it out on that stage and looked incredible doing it (FYI, I did not resemble her in any way, shape or form, while pregnant). 

This little dress from Old Navy was the perfect outfit to wear.   Pretty, flowy, boho like.  I just picked it up the evening before and it's sure to be a favorite all summer long at the beach and for patio drinks.  I see myself wearing my skinny yellow belt with it the next time, but for this evening I opted out for my bold, orange, tassel earrings.   Once the evening air cooled I through on my  bomber jacket to keep warm.  The Kate Spade wallet, along with the purse, was my gift to me when we were in Florida and I love it!  It's sold out on their website but I found one on eBay. 

The Old Navy dress is Sold Out online so I am linking up this adorable, baby doll version from Zaful. 

Happy weekend friends and see you all next week!
