{ Summertime Dressing: Striped dress, Leather belt & Lace-up sandals }

June 14, 2016

For hectic summer days when I find myself short on time for planning an outfit, I’ll often reach for a dress. I especially love shirt dresses for their versatility: I could wear one to work, an outdoor party, and everything in between without feeling overdressed. All it takes to change up the look each time are different shoes and a handbag.Nothing says ‘summertime’ like nautical-inspired stripes, and this sleeveless style from SheIn is ideal for hot weather. The fit is a little large in the waist, so I added a wide leather belt to give it some shape. I also want to apologize if you’re like me and looking at these images messes with your vision a bit—have you ever noticed how that happens sometimes with striped clothing? For whatever reason, they can definitely be tricky to photograph!If you’re in the market for block heel sandals, look no further than this pair from Stuart Weitzman—they’re SO comfy and the brown color will go with just about any summer outfit. I snagged mine at the boutique in Rome last week when they had a sale for local customers, but you can also find them online here for 30% off! Be sure to check out the rest of their sale, too—a lot of other summer styles have been marked down as well.I hope your week is off to a wonderful start and thank you for visiting my blog!
