Outfit Details:

Embroidered Floral Dress via Trend Boutique c/o | J.McLaughlin Straw Handbag | Banana Republic Sandals (similar) | Hoop Earrings (love these)

Summer is my favorite season to dress for and fun sundresses like this one are exactly why! It’s been pretty hot here in Cincinnati the past few weeks (which I love), but it can be hard finding the perfect outfit to keep cool in.

This adorable Everly dress is from Trend Boutique, one of my favorite local boutiques (they also have an online shop!), and fits all the criteria of the perfect summer dress. Right when I slipped it on it felt like the perfect fit. I love the embroidered floral pattern mixed with the stripes, and the tie front detail adds a nice touch. It was pretty toasty the day I wore this, and having a dress that has a feminine but relaxed fit is just what I needed.

Of course, I had to reach for my J.McLaughlin wicker handbag to finish off this outfit. I should probably stop using it so much because of the delicate material, but I just can’t help myself. This time of year just screams straw/wicker bags!

Speaking of summer, I am a very happy girl now that it’s here. My mom and I dream of summer and talk about it pretty much every day of the year, so it’s no surprise I get my disdain of the cold from her! I’m hoping I’ll be able to enjoy a few pool days coming up, but my summer is already jam-packed with travel plans. I’m not going to lie, I’m a bit overwhelmed but also super excited for all the adventures I have lined up for the next few months. I think we can all agree that life is a bit more exciting when it’s warm out!
