Summer Shirtdress

 //  Style

WD4Hi friends!! I’m working on going through my Italy photos and uploading the zillion I took to blog about it all so don’t worry, recaps to come! Since I’ve been back, it’s been all about work catch up, laundry catch up, and friend/life catch up!

The weather’s been pretty warm here this week and there’s nothing I love more when it’s hot than easy breezy light pieces! This white shirtdress is everything I love about summer dressing because it’s crisp, fresh, and effortless. It can be worn belted with boho booties for a more casual vibe or paired with sleek strappy sandals like these babes for a sexier nighttime look. I paired it with these spiked sandals and neutral bag for errands followed a lunch date with my girlfriends and it was the perfect daytime one piece outfit.

    LOVE this shirtdress! It’s tailored perfectly and a wonderful base piece for so many outfit combinations. And, um, you already know that the mini YSL bag is my favorite, of course 🙂

    I’m not the best person to ask about a summer/heat wardrobe, since I’m always FREEZING, haha.

    Welcome home, Annie! Hope you’re able to relax amidst the busy catchup/unpacking time XX

    Those shoes are awesome! I become increasingly less creative as the heat gets more oppressive… Usually jeans or pants to work (frequently with long sleeves for the AC!) and then cutoffs and bare feet as soon as I walk through the door! Complete with bra flinging because who wants to wear one when you don’t have to?! Although the past few weeks I was seriously debating investing in more rain gear! Three weeks straight every day. It kills me that Florida was / is flooding like crazy with all the rain and Cali is begging for it.
    Anyway – glad you are home safely and looking forward to your fall fashion even if its going to be foreverrrr until it cools off here 😉

    Your rock those aviators! If it’s not creepy, I’d love to see how you’ve decorated your house.

  • I love shirt dresses!! I used to buy huge men’s shirts from thrift stores and they were always the best shirt dresses for a steal! I’ve recently been living in rompers. They’re the best because they’re only one item of clothing (yes, I’m very lazy) and are more versatile than most dresses. Love your photos as always!

    Thank youuu!!! I will think about how I want to go about sharing house stuff. I had a traumatic robbery experience a few months ago so now Im super freaked about putting my living space online. But I could definitely share interior stuff I’ve purchased and put together mood boards based on my space if you’re interested! X

    Thank you! These shoes are currently my favorite in rotation!! The heel is thick and low enough to be comfortable and the spikes are super fun. I can’t believe you’ve had so much rain! That’s just insane to me with how dry we are here here! Enjoy it even though it’s probably getting super annoying by now. X

    Thank you!! I love it too, it can be conservative or sexy depending on the level of buttoning and accessory choices which I love because versatile pieces are a must in my life. I’m always either reaaaallly cold or reallllly hot! When I’m cold, I have a hard time warming up and I’m super sensitive to it, but when it’s hot I’m like a little oven and I overheat really easily. It’s bizarro. X
