First, I've been talking about dressing for hot weather. Well, here's another great hot weather find.
This cool little yellow shift dress is current on sale for under $17(!!!!!) from simplybe.com! And if you aren't a yellow fan, they also still have it in navy.
I totally think, though, that y'all should try yellow. It's a very underrated color, and works on more people than you'd think. Especially this nice bright yellow. Kind of like green - the pale greens don't work on everyone, but a nice, vibrant green usually does.
I just put it with a long necklace I've had for years (that's a PEAR! Isn't that cute?) and nude wedge Cole Haan's, and yay, I'm ready for the hot blazing day!
That said, I'm wearing this to work, so I'm also taking a white, pin-stripe jacket I bought 2-3 years ago.
This jacket is long-unavailable, but a nice, white and tailored jacket looks great with this dress (since the dress is less tailored, you definitely want the jacket to take up the slack for the more "I'm a business person!" moments). However, Simply Be has this crisp white jacket, which would look great with the dress, methinks.
Added bonus - I also wore this dress and jacket combo earlier this summer, but with a black belt instead of a necklace (not good to over-accessorize), and black pumps. I'll try to recapture that magic day sometime, because it gives the outfit just a slightly different, but more polished look. I just wasn't in a belt mood for outfit-trotting-out number 2.
Long story short? Summer's hot, but you can be cool.
I think I was too tired to really make that last sentence work. Dammit, come on coffee, help me write more goodsly!
