Asymmetric Polka Dot Dress

Florence + the Machine – Hunger

 

 

This dress is a showstopper. I fell in love with its asymmetric silhouette as well as the ruffled details. It just looked different than any other dresses I have. I also love the big and bold polka dot print a lot and, in my opinion, they work just fine. The color combo (beige and burgundy) is also amazing and yes, the polka dots are more of a burgundy color, even though when you look at the dress at first, you might think they are brown. Overall I love the boho chic vibe of this dress, plus it’s very trendy.

I paired it up with a straw basket that you might or might not have seen yet. I love its brown wooden handle and the flower gives it that special something. Straw baskets are so popular nowadays and they are perfect for summer so naturally I had to get one too.

My sandals match the dress perfectly as they are also a burgundy like color and I got them for under $20! I also got them in gold. They are easy to slide on and very comfortable. Everyone should have a simple pair like that. 

And my earrings are two tone, which also match the dress perfectly. They also come in two other color combos and they are only $3! Make sure to check my Earrings Haul From Shein post for more earring steals like this.

Leopard Print Dress

ALMA – Chasing Highs

 

 

Who doesn’t like leopard print? I wear it in all seasons: sweaters, jeans, dresses, accessories and more. No surprise I had to get this leopard dress. This dress is one of my favorite styles this summer. It’s so simple, yet trendy and with that modern vibe. It’s perfect on a casual day or even a date night. You can wear it casually with flip flops and a straw bag like I did or pair it up with a wedge for a more sophisticated look. I absolutely love it, so much so that I also got it in a yellow and white striped print, that, if you follow me on Instagram, you might remember a picture of it I posted there. There is a also a third print you can get this dress in, a polka dot black and white, but it looks like it’s not available online anymore, only in stores. Oh, and you can score this dress for under $13 on sale now. 

My straw bag is only $10 and I love it because it’s a perfect size and it stands out with its unique shape. Must buy!

My earrings are fun and I love how the warm gold tone goes with the brown color of the dress.

Pineapple Print Tropical Summer Dress

Vance Joy – Saturday Sun

 


 

Have you noticed I’m obsessed with everything pineapple this season? Make sure to check my Pineapple Motif In Fashion And Accessories post, if you haven’t. Anyways, because of my current obsession, of course I needed a pineapple print summer dress. This Allover Pineapple Print Button Up Cami Dress is everything I wanted and more. The fabric is super lightweight and flowy, perfect for hot summer days. The pineapple print is lovely and it gives you that tropical vacation vibe. Overall, it’s a perfect dress to pair up with a straw bag and a straw hat and have a stroll around the town, at the beach or summer resort. I’m telling you, this one will be my favorite dress this summer. On top of all the goodness about this dress, it’s also under $20, but hurry this one won’t be available for long. There are also other variations of this dress that you can purchase from the same store. Same print and fabric, just a different style of the dress. I listed them at the end of the post.

As suggested above, I’m wearing this beautiful tropical dress with a circular straw bag that I also absolutely love. I think I don’t have to tell you how trendy these are nowadays. I opted for a lighter shade of this bag, instead of the popular brown, because I thought it would be easier to pair it up with all sorts of outfits.

Onto the pineapple earrings – these are only $3!!! And, of course, how could I not wear them with my pineapple dress, right?

Today I’m sporting quite a pinkalicious look. How adorable is this striped dress? I absolutely love the color palette because the combo of pink and brown is one of my favorites. It’s even better that the colors are bright which makes this dress look very fresh. The ruffle sleeves and the back detail are both beautiful accents that make this dress trendy and modern, at the same time giving it that parisian flare. I have to tell you, you’re going to love the light and breathable fabric of this dress, perfect for hot summer days. Another thing you’re going to love is the price of this stunner! It’s only $13. Yes, you heard it right. Oh, and it comes in six different patterns altogether. Each of them is quite different from the other so it’s not only the colors that are different. I definitely encourage you to check them all out.

My bag is my new purchase, but unfortunately I bought it on sale and it’s no longer available. Good news, the same store carries a very similar option and I listed the details below, so check it out too. It’s made of suede and leather. I’m not sure if you noticed, but you’re going to see suede everywhere this fall – mark my words!

When you think about an eyelet embroidered dress, chances are you see a white summer dress that you can wear at the beach. Oh, how a color can change the dress! Would you think of this black dress as such? The black makes this dress oh so much more sophisticated and glamorous, in my opinion, and makes the dress more versatile. Paired with a pair of black heels and a nice black clutch, it can make for a nice summer date night look. Wear it with a pair of black ankle boots and a white brim felt fedora hat for an edgier look, or simply make it casual like I did, and wear it during any summer day with a pair of black or white sandals (brown would work too) and a matching crossbody bag.

What I love about this dress it obviously its beautiful embroidery, but also the fluted sleeves that are very popular this summer. The dress is very light and breathable, but it does run big so make sure to read the size chart before ordering. Great news! This dress comes in several different colors, and all are so adorable.  I want them all, but the new colors that I’m most excited about are burgundy and mustard yellow.  Just in time for fall!

My earrings are an older purchase and they were perfect for this entire look. The bag is from Aldo, but I found other places you can buy it from as well. Details below:

Hi guys! Today’s look I’m featuring is one of my favorite summer dresses. It’s a colorful and crazy print like nothing you have probably seen before. The vibrant pink, red and orange hues make you look like a firecracker. And wait until you see the back of this dress!

This print might be a little bit heavy on the eyes with all those little lines and zig zags covering the entire dress, but to me it creates this beautiful and unique ethnic print.

Retro Topshop’s dress and the Lush’s summer look

These are my weekend finds! The first dress is Topshop. It’s a little bit retro, in my opinion, but it also has a flirty and feminine side. The ruffles on top add just a perfect amount of embellishment and I love the print and the color of the dress as well. I paired it with a little purple shoulder bag that I thought complemented this look nicely.

The black dress is Lush. It’s a perfect summer dress as it’s very light and flowy. I like that it has an opening on top and I love the half sleeve, as you can wear it on a cooler summer day.

Both of these dresses can be found on Nordstroms.com, or in the actual store.
