Summer Dress

If you asked me even a couple weeks ago if I’d buy a snake skin print dress, I would have yelled, “ewww, no.” See, I’ve had a bit of a hate-hate relationship with most animal prints, especially in clothing.

I’m longing for a vacation. Badly. I know I’m super privileged that the worst part about COVID for me has been the fact that I had to cancel several trips. I’ve chosen not to travel (other than a road trip to San Diego a couple weeks ago) because public health demands it. The best thing I can do to do my part is to stay home, social distance, and severely limit travel.

There are certain dresses that are so good you have to buy two. I literally got this white floral dress in two colors, including navy floral because it’s so good. Its the perfect summer dress, and priced right, so I got two. When I first saw this white floral off the shoulder dress, I especially fell for the cutout lace detail at the waistline. Next, I noticed the price. This dress is under $20 dollars!

I found this dress at Target the other day and I quickly knew I needed it. I love the stirred, stretchy bodice and the ties at the shoulders. It’s super lightweight and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit or a grocery store run. Because I love this one so much (and it’s unsurprisingly sold out), I thought I’d share some other great black floral dresses with you.

As I dug through the archives, I was shocked to find I haven’t posted about a denim jacket since 2015 when I came back from Italy! It’s shocking to me, because in my wardrobe, denim jackets are a staple. Right before quarantine started, I found this tie dye denim jacket, and I’m so glad I have it in my jacket collection.

When in doubt, I always choose red clothes. Red is one of my favorite colors for a lot of reasons. It’s fun, vibrant, and it energizes to your look. Red is also a powerful color. It draws attention and exudes authority. I personally think red is a color that looks great on most people. It works especially well on my olive undertones. If you like red, this is the post for you. I’m sharing all of my current favorite red knee length dresses under $30.

Do you dress up for any holidays? I love to get new dresses for holidays because it’s just another fun way to express myself and immerse myself in that holiday. For all the patriotic holidays – including memorial day, labor day, and the 4th of July, I love to wear red and white. I won’t wear a full-on American flag, but I already love red, so it’s a fun way to nod to our colors without being over the top.

Every summer, I buy a new white dress. When we shot this look, Jade asked me, “haven’t we shot that before?” It was a fair question since this one looks very similar. But I love this white ruffle hem dress too because of the all-over eyelet material. Plus, the fit is very flattering and comfortable.

It’s been so hot in LA, it’s time to break out this cute light blue cami dress. Can you believe this is under $20?! I love all of the cute details, including the faux wrap style and the fun see-through cutouts at the waist. Also, I love that the straps are adjustable which really helps to create a more lifted look.

Memorial Day fashion, but make it chic. I’m definitely a fan of wearing dresses that are special holiday-appropriate, without wearing something that screams the American flag. This striped cold shoulder dress is the perfect way to nod to the holiday without screaming ‘Merica. There are lots of reasons I love a cold shoulder dress for spring and summer, but here are 3 reasons.

This geo print dress I ordered last month. I planned to take it with me on a trip to Cancun that I had to cancel. Although I think this dress is absolutely perfect for a tropical vacation, it’s also a great dress for summer no matter where you live. I wore it on a Saturday morning to brunch, and it felt like a great brunch option.

Just in time for the hottest month, this corset mini dress is my new favorite summer dress. I absolutely adore the fun floral watercolor print. I also love the v-neck and the corsetted bust and drop waist.

I love wearing white dresses in the summer. Every year, I add at least one or two new ones (this one has florals too). I recently found this white lace dress on sale, and I knew I had to have it. It’s a coverup and a mini dress in one. I’ve talked about wearing cover-ups as dresses earlier this summer. This is another example of a perfect beach cover-up that also works as a summer dress.

We’re nearing the end of summer but it’s actually been the warmest it’s been all year in LA lately. I recently got this lavender mini dress from Fashion Nova. I had never shopped there before but one of my friends suggested it for jeans. Unfortunately, I didn’t love the jeans, but I did find this cute lavender dress and I’m loving it for these warmer summer days.

The sweetheart neckline has been around for centuries and has remained a popular choice for dresses and tops.
