I AM SO EXCITED THAT summer is finally here. Well, I guess it starts on June 21, but it feels like summer starts as soon as school is out. For me, summer means three kids at home with no more busy schedules and lots of playtime. It also means summer birthdays for me and my girls, baby and bridal showers, and date nights with my husband. I always find myself looking for a dress or two to get me through all the fun of the summer events and activities.

Event Dress

I love finding a dress that I can wear to any event. Normally I will not buy a dress of this style without having a specific event coming up. Having a dress that sits in my closet unworn is something I loathe. I wanted to get a dress for Easter this year that I could wear to church and to other events this summer. I picked a simple lace dress with some ruffles on it because it feels very feminine. A basic dress is easy to dress up with a headband or fun shoes.

The Maxi Dress

Whenever I think of a maxi dress, I think of a dress that goes all the way to the ground. It can be really hard to find a full-length maxi dress that fits right! I have a hard time finding one that is long enough and I am not even that tall. Others can struggle with ones that are always dragging on the ground. Since the length on those can be so challenging, I find it easier to look for dresses that are a longer midi length. This way you still get the same feel without all the trouble. It also provides the opportunity to show off a great pair of shoes. The finished look with a denim jacket, sandals, and a great clutch is a summer date night staple.

I have never been one to enjoy wearing shorts. That fact makes one of my favorite summer looks a casual t-shirt dress. They are so comfortable and can so easily be worn in different ways. One of my favorite ways to wear a t-shirt dress is with tennis shoes. The combination is perfect to bring on summer trips or to the lake on weekends. T-shirt dresses are available in many different stores and are budget friendly.

Casual Day Dress For Dress With A Kimono

When it comes to dressing for work, I feel like we can all get sick of wearing pants year around. Maybe at times you are able to get a skirt in the rotation but I feel like work wardrobes can get repetitive. To be able to switch it up in the summer is so nice. When wearing a dress to work, length is important. If your dress is too short, the look is unprofessional, and it will only get worse when you sit down.

Investing in a kimono is a new fresh look for summer and adds a lot of versatility to your wardrobe. They can be worn so many different ways. I love them over a solid color dress. It is such a chic look. Since they can be worn so many ways, they make a great piece to pack in a suitcase on a trip. They can be worn as a swim coverup, with shorts, and with jeans as well. The floral patterns you will find on kimonos are so pretty and cheerful. They are really a great way to add some personality to your outfits.
