Dog Days of Summer

 I feel like we are definitely approaching the "dog days of Summer". 

It has been so freaking hot here lately. (The last 2 days have actually been a nice reprieve with it only reaching around 85 degrees.) 

With that being said, it's so hard to dress when it's 90+ degrees outside. 

So today I'm sharing one of the ways I stay cool when it's that hot!

Maxi dresses.

I know that sounds like a lot of fabric, but I honestly find myself reaching for some type of midi or maxi dress when it's so hot out. 

I think all that fabric makes them really flowy and breezy.

I bought this one back in the beginning of Summer and have found myself reaching for it a lot lately. 

It's a nice light color and the fabric hides sweat. 

I also really love the smock detail at the top. (It also comes with straps if you aren't into the strapless thing.)

I styled it with this wide brim hat because I really feel like I have been hiding from the sun lately. Anything to stay cool.

Dress: H&M | Hat: Lack of Color | Sandals: Tory Burch | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lips: Bobbi Brown Crushed Lipstick in Sazan Nude with Bobbi Brown Crush Lip Gloss in Free Spirit on top

What are your tricks to staying cool in this heat? Next week I'm heading somewhere that will have highs in the triple digits every day! (Insert the wide-eyed emoji here.) Really open to any suggestions on how to beat that kind of heat.

End of Summer Outfit

 Despite the fact that your feed is FLOODED with Nsale/Fall content it is very much still summer!

It honestly has been so hot here in Florida. I walk Ramsey around 8am and I am completely drenched in sweat by the time I get home. 

Today I have a great outfit to help beat this end of summer heat.

These shorts are actually a few years old, but I still reach for them every summer. They are a linen material and just feel so lightweight. I paired them with a fitted spandex tank and my favorite bamboo purse. This is such a great outfit for a number of activities. I feel like we are all starting to venture out for some outdoor dining/drinks. This would be a perfect day or evening look. (I would just switch to some heels for a more nighttime look.) 

Shorts: Loft (similar here) | Tank: Target | Shoes: Steve Madden (also love these) | Purse: Amazon | Sunnies: Quay Australia | Lipstick: NARS Lipstick in Orgasm

How's the weather where you are? I am definitely ready for some cooler weather. We are about to redo our patio and I can't wait to sit out there and enjoy a nice glass of red wine in the crisp fall air. Anyone else?

Hi lovelies!

Can you believe this weekend is Labor Day weekend?! This year has really flown by. I remember when I was younger, and hearing my parents say that all the time, and I would be thinking, “Ummm you’re crazy! This school year has dragged on forever!” Haha

Anyway Labor Day typically marks the unofficial end of summer.

Today I wanted to share a really cute romper for your last summer BBQ or beach trip you may have this weekend. (Unfortunately, this one sold out last week while it was on a super sale.  However, I will link some similar options for you.)

If you’ve followed me for a while, you should know I LOVE blue and white. I have to stop myself quite often from buying things that are blue and white; especially in the summer months. Something about the combination just screams summer to me. When I saw this romper a few months ago, I knew I HAD to have it. I love the low neckline, and the stripes and bow keep it classy.  I have definitely worn this little guy more than a few times and it might even make an appearance this weekend.

I have linked some of my favorite blue and white pieces below in case you’re looking to hold onto summer a little longer.

Romper: Dillard's sold out (similar here & here also love this, this, and this) | Shoes: Target | Sunglasses: Nordstrom | Choker: Baublebar | Lipstick: Mac Amplified Lipstick in Blankety with Mac Lipglass in Snob layered on top

Other blue and white pieces I love here, here (along with almost all other blue and white JCrew pieces), here, here, here, here (how cute are those sandals?!), here and I have to stop myself or I could be here all night linking things for y'all!

What are your plans for Labor Day Weekend? Are you ready for fall or do you want summer to stick around a little longer?

I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!

Today I'm linking up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels, The Fashion Canvas, Visions of Vogue, & Pretty in Pink Megan for the Trend Spin Linkup!
