Floral Frock

Wondering what to wear during a heat advisory? My strategy has been pretty consistent.. Find the most lightweight dress and keep the accessories simple! I went with metallic silver pumps, a bow belt, and a single cuff to make an impact that wouldn’t weigh me down.

Even though it makes me sweat just thinking about layers right now, this dress will be great for the fall, too! Tights, booties, a turtleneck underneath, you name it. The black silhouette will transition perfectly!

    I love your bow belt, it’s so cute! I have one in black but now I kinda want it in another color as well. Metallic? Bubblegum Pink? I can’t decide.

    I also really adore this dress and can’t wait to see it styled for the fall.
