'cause it’s summer

Days like today just call out for a cool, summer dress.  Humidity is over 75 percent and just walking to your car can produce a sweat.  Of course, inside office buildings and shops are more likely to be frigid.  It just begs for layering and cardigans and jackets are a necessary layer here. 

This dress, which is washable, cotton voile, is the perfect summer dress.  I've already worn it twice in the last few weeks.  It's breezy and cool and lends itself to being dressed up or down. 

The jean jacket, necessary to avoid hypothermia in our air conditioned spaces, keeps it casual.

If you need to fill out your summer wardrobe or spring wardrobe or want to stock up at bargain prices, check out the sales at Talbots, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Loft, JCrew, Piperline, Nordstrom and more. A meander through your mall or some online looking could reap huge savings.

You may need to shop with your early fall/next spring needs in mind, but there are great deals to be had.

Happy Friday!
