It was another beautiful weekend here in Cleveland filled
with farmers markets, birthday dinners (my brother) shopping at local boutiques
and a pool day. It was pretty hot all weekend, so easy breezy dresses are the
only option for me. I tend to be drawn to white dresses during the summer which
can be maximized by switching out accessories. My favorite shoe to wear with
short summer dresses are gladiator or lace-up sandals, which take a little
girly-ness out and add a cool relaxed vibe. If you were to flip
through the pieces in my closet, it would be pretty evident that my summer look
is bohemian, hippie, global, gypsy inspired. For instance, I topped my floral Free People slip dress with a global beaded vest to add a little edge along with black lace-up gladiators. My breezy Gap shirtdress is a pretty classic style, so I added cognac accessories for a chic laid back look. This shirtdress is a closet staple; it's fully lined but still light and airy. I chose to roll the sleeves up and open up the front placket so it doesn't look nurse-maid like. And the best part, it has pockets! Classic summer casual dress for sure. I also love this dress with wedges and an obi belt to dress it up a little, and flats and a blazer for a preppy look. The possibilities are endless!
