Dressed for Summer



Joie Dress.  gifted BaubleBar Necklace.  J.Crew Bangle.  
3.1 Phillip Lim Pashili Satchel.  gifted Pour la Victoire Sandals.

When I first moved to the East Coast my summer wardrobe was seriously lacking. Slowly but surely I've invested in a few items here and there that are more humidity friendly, and this Joie dress (currently on sale) is one of them. It actually fits me like a maxi but is shown on the model as a mid-length dress and is slightly see-through, so I've been wearing it with a light slip underneath. What I really love about this dress is that I plan to wear it well into the fall belted with chunkier knit sweaters and ankle boots.

I have the opposite problem, I live in the deep south so *most* of my clothes are for summer, and when I go to other climates I don't know what to wear. I am also short, so you have clearly found the solution to all the maxi dresses that are too long, great idea to wear a midi dress instead!

Sal said...

So precious! Your green bag is so versatile- definitely wanting to invest- you seem to wear it so easily with all different kinds of outfits!!

Hoping you have a wonderful weekend Alicia!

I have been totally jealous of all the west coast and euorpean bloggers who have been wearing layers with their summer gear, while we sweat it out with all this east coast humidity.

Oh my, I would love to have that dress for travel! It would be so perfect for the dressy but comfy look I'm always trying to achieve on flights.

Anonymous said...

Beautiful dress. But don't you think the purse is a little large for this look? Wouldn't something smaller look better? Just my two cents :)

Anonymous said...

I think your bag is too huge for this summery look.

Kathleen Lisson said...

I like the volume and femininity of this summer dress.

Alicia Lund said...

@Anonymous - thanks for your two cents... however I need something large enough to carry my laptop around. ;)

jessarb said...

this would be the perfect winter-white to wear into the fall. Perhaps a chunky waffle sweater on top?
