Good morning, Wednesday. Let's just get something out of the way- today feels totally off in a cosmic vortex kind of way and I'm not sure what's going on, but I'm hoping for an incident free afternoon. I'm not in the mood for anything seismic, and that's the truth. Hoping today is not as weird as it feels. Y'all feel it too, right?
So in light of said weirdness, let's keep things simple.
I spotted this dress in American Apparel yesterday and it's a dress that takes a bit of vision as well as a dressing room to understand its genius. Lolita vibes aside, I'm a big fan of AA's basics- they make great tanks, tees, leggings, and I own quite a few cute dresses from there for Summertime as you can't beat the nice price and easy approach to dress they provide.
This washable silk number is no exception. It's a bit on the roomy side but not in a bad way- it skims the curves in all the right ways and is a lovely addition to any warm weather wardrobe- plus I love the feel of silk against my skin and for just under a hundred bucks, it's a perfect little Summer number that you can wear with flat sandals or heels to dress it up. it's no secret that dresses are the perfect antidote to hot weather wardrobe woes- when I lived in Miami I never wore pants and all of my dresses saved me from heat stroke. And it's true I now wear way more pants than dresses, but I'm in the mood for something pretty and easy so why not?
Again, the dress looks like nothing on the hanger, but as this blogger shows in the photos above, it's a cute look that is flattering and easy peasy. With the weird vibes in the air, I'm all about keeping it loose, comfy, and above all else- simple. I prefer the black (duh) but it also comes in a pretty pale pink and a more bold blue. And I may be imagining this, but young brands like American Apparel and Urban Outfitters are getting a more age neutral and including pieces all of us can love, regardless of our birth date. Well played.
Cause that's what's up this strange vibes and cute dresses kind of Wednesday in the 212. Yours, in simple solutions. XO
