Good am, Friday. I can't believe this stretch of heat. You all know I have a permanent case of the vapors but seriously- this is just insane. I know I didn't sign up for this, and nor did you. Apparently it's going to break on Sunday, but I'm beginning to feel like a shut in. Impossible to enjoy anything outside in this preview of what hell must be like.
And since you can't really run around to stores, trying on things in hot dressing rooms, you'll have to take my word for it that the one dress you should buy right now is from an unexpected place- Ann Taylor. I've been a fan of their shoes and bags for a minute now- way chicer than you think but have steered clear of anything else because there's no part of me that looks good in a sheath dress- business lady chic just does not flatter me in any way. But this dress- THIS DRESS. Trust me. It looks amazing on and can serve many purposes. Super basic but perfect for those days when you're too hot to search through your closet for something to wear.
I really love it- it's feminine, modern, and easy to wear. I'm loving this silhouette- seen on cool girls all over this hot town- the mid length button front dress has been a huge hit here. And though I won't be wearing it with wedges (my condemnation of the shoe led to me wiping out in them, hard. Shoe justice...), this dress would look sensational with them, or with little flat nothings in the genre of K Jacques or Ancient Greek. Pair with a cute boho straw bag and you're all set, or even do one of those cute little fanny packs out now in a neutral or animal print- honestly this dress can do no wrong (which is more than I can say for most people and things), and even though it's a button down it's not binding or too tight in the chest- if you're a blessed girl upfront you're going to love this too. I know it doesn't look like much, but really what more do you need in this heat? I love a good basic and this fits the bill perfectly, yes, it's another black dress but it also comes in a dark olive green- both super workable with everything else you have accessories wise.
I think that's all I've got for now. I'm off for a vacation with hubster and Khan come Sunday. Needless to say, this dress will be right there with me, and I can't wait. Cause that's what's up this go ahead and buy both colors kind of Friday in Dante's inferno. All the love. XO
