Finals week is over, seniors have graduated and school is OUT. We all know what comes next: summer AKA dress season. Sure, dresses can be layered for winter wear, but in their truest form, dresses are meant for summer.
Dresses come in all shapes, colors and sizes, but the sweet dress this Fashionista is rocking is the epitome of summer. The style is super light and breezy, perfect for a walk along the beach or a picnic with friends on a hot summer day. Although the dress is simple, the bit of ruffling at the top keeps it feminine. I love the bottom half of the dress because of the unique colors and pattern. They’re warm and vibrant, just like the weather.
Your instinct may be to go heavy on accessories, since your whole outfit is just one piece, but that would be a mistake! Simple accessories go well with this simple dress. These small stud earrings are charming and summery. And a pair of neutral-colored strappy sandals is a great way to finish off the outfit.
There’s one final part of this look that really pulls it all together: the bun. This half-bun hairstyle is great for all kinds of weather. It’s perfect to cover up bad hair days and it looks like you put a lot of effort in, even though it’s incredibly simple. It can go with a casual or nicer look and the best thing about it is that it works with just about any hair length or texture.
One Simple Change: Swap out flat sandals for cute wedges or strappy heels to take this outfit from summer days to summer nights.
