We've been having high summer weather here this last week or so, which means it's time to break out the summer dresses! I don't wear dresses very often in the winter, because I hate tights, but love them in the more temperate months.

1: Worn to a business casual evening reception earlier in the week (and work beforehand). My navy COS swing dress with white blazer and dark teal patent oxfords.

2-3: Liberty dress for a really hot day. I only wore the denim jacket on the excessively air-conditioned bus. I also pulled my white purse (with snake contrast) out for the summer.
(Sailor rose dress, AE jacket, Naot sandals, Halogen bag)

4-5: yet another blue and white print dress (sense a theme here?). This outfit was from last week when it was cooler, hence the boots and (lightweight) wool jacket. This dress is comfy but I feel like maybe it is a little too boho/unstructured for me. Something about the fit/shape of the shoulders and neckline feels sloppy to me (I added the scarf in part to cover up the neckline). See the find photo below - I think it looks better on the model than on me.
(Caslon dress, AT scarf, Frye boots, Tulle jacket)

6-7: Not a dress. Wearing this today for a very hot, long day that involved a lot of walking in the morning followed by a long day at work. Bomber is for AC only! Funny thing was, I had breakfast with two friends and one of them was wearing the same sandals (in black) and the other had the same bag in a different color (Longchamp le pliage, not shown here). Apparently I choose my friends for their fashion taste.
