Do you ever have an outfit post where you think to yourself, I'm not sure the readers are going to love this? I do, adore this little easy to wear dress. It is by Elle from Kohl's and I think what I love most about it, is that it has pockets. Cannot go wrong with pockets. I added my beloved Target denim vest just for fun. I loved the pocket aspect so much that I even got a black one with little flowers!
Here is the little flowers version
I think the reason why I don't love this post, was because it was on the day I got a little too much sun at the beach and I had the dreaded… Tan Lines only with a bright red hue ha ha!
Funny thing, nobody but me must've thought anything about it because I even had two people compliment me that night in town on what a pretty dress it was.
Made me smile and makes me want to remind us all, compliment someone every day if possible, because as we all know it makes their day and brings out the goodness in this world of ours!
And now I bid a fond adieu to Summer Dress Posts for this season. I will truly miss the comfy little numbers and the kiss of the summer sun. I would probably post Summer dresses til October but I know a majority of y'all are ready for the Fall duds!!

Pretty dress.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!!
DeleteSuper cute! Very flattering fit and pattern and love that it can be dressed up or down. Pockets are the bomb...I get so excited when I find a dress or skirt with pockets. My biggest pet peeve? Shirts that have the pockets sewn shut...why?!!
ReplyDeleteOh girl, I hear ya! In fact I have on pants today with the slit pockets sewn shut. What? Yeah, I'm the silly one who bought em' Hope your day is awesome. :-)
DeleteLove that dress with the denim vest!! It looks great on you too, so flattering. Summer isn't over either so you can still wear your pretty dress!! :-) I hope that you have a wonderful day!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAww thank you lovely lady! :-)
DeleteSuch a cute vest- and so many ways to wear!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday, lady!

ReplyDeleteHollie, just love ya! You are so good at brightening people's day!!! xo
DeleteI just love how the vest looks with the dress. I keep crossing my fingers to find a denim vest on clearance somewhere but no such luck... yet. I think it's a fabulous look! I'd wear it all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh, and PS - I nominated you for an award on my blog today. Play along if you want :)
ReplyDeleteA friend told me Target still had some online, worth a shot! Aww, thank you, heading over to your blog now ;) Excited!
DeleteI think this look is FABulous - tan lines and all!! Love the idea of adding a vest to a sundress. It really makes the rest of the outfit pop. Perfect summer chic look!

So sweet of you to say Shauna, thank you so much! Hope you're having a wonderful day beautiful!
DeleteIf it matters... I am so not ready for fall duds! I feel like most people aren't, but the blog world is. I feel like we have so much more variety in the summer... pants, dresses, capris, shorts, skirts, rompers, etc... whereas in the cold months it's all the same - jeans, boots, and scarves!
ReplyDeleteLoving this dress on you, and would love to see more summer dresses while the weather is still warm <3
Amen sista!!! Thank you, cause I am sooo not ready to put my lil dresses away!!
DeleteYou just look tan to me! I think we are all 1000x more critical of ourselves than anyone else ever it, which is always a good thing to try to remember. Plus your dress is just too cute, no wonder they complimented it!

Great advice Susie! Thank you!!
DeleteFirst off, I love you and your amazing attitude! It's so true that if we treated someone with kindness everyday it would spread so fast and so far we'd have a much better community! Second, you look gorgeous. That is just YOUR color in my opinion! And I don't think you look too red/sunburnt or anything of the kind. Also, I always see your posts and think I need more denim in my life to throw on over cute little dresses! Hope you are having a glorious day my beautiful friend! XO -Kim
ReplyDeleteVery very sweet my friend!! Your positivity and love of life is infectious as well!! Your kind words and encouragement always make my day. Hope yours is amazing today beautiful!!
DeletePretty outfit!! The dress fits you perfectly and the vest does a nice job of covering up any tan lines.
ReplyDeleteYay! That's why I added it and it helped plus I liked that it made it a lil more casual. ;-)
DeleteCute dress! I have those posts too, where I think the pictures look great and then I go to publish it and hate them! Haha I enjoy all of your posts, so don't be so hard on yourself:)
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet of you to say Lindsey. Thank you for your positivity and kind heart!!! Have a wonderful day!
DeleteWhat a great dress!! I love it with the jean jacket and the wedges - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh so sweet of you to say Lindsey. Thank you for your positivity and kind heart!!! Have a wonderful day!
DeleteThis dress looks GREAT on you, I just love the color and print. I think it looks really cute with the denim vest, too. I am all about denim vests and dresses lately!

DeleteI love that dress, it is so pretty! Elle is one of my go to brands at Kohls :)

Super cute summer dress - it looks perfect with your vest and cognac heels! I will be continuing with summer dresses/looks for awhile, as it is still in the nineties here and will be for at least another month or so. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright orange floral dress. A DENIM VEST IS GREAT OVER A FLORAL OR SUNDRESS TOO. Perfect Summery look Andrea. =)
