3 Ways to Wear a LBD This Summer

I have very much been gravitating towards dresses this summer. They are so easy and breezy and comfortable! I’ve never really been much of a dress girl, but I think I’ve realized just how easy they can be, yet how polished you can look. Sure I love to get dressed up for events, but more times I am reaching for a pair of jeans or shorts over a dress. This summer has really changed my perspective and I’ve been reaching more and more for flowy, comforbtale dresses. I really think it has to do with the fact that I am working from home and I can be the one in control of the AC. My office is always freezing! So the thought of having bare legs and arms just sends shivers down my spine!

I picked up this ruffle LBD (little black dress) a few months ago and have worn it just about every week since I got it. Its incredibly comfortable and can be worn so many different ways. The price also can’t be beat. It’s under $50, but we all know J.Crew always has a ton of sales. So if you are lucky you can snag it for less than $30! Today I wanted to share three different ways I’ve been wearing this LBD for summer.

Side note- I know this dress is just about sold out :(. I think it was just such a good deal that people couldn’t pass it up. Keep checking back as they might get returns. If you see your size- please get it. It’s adorable!

With Sneakers

Dress | Sneakers | Scrunchie

…

I have really been loving the whole dress and sneaker trend! I think its just such a feminine and masculine trend wrapped into one that is just so easy and cool. And this is probably my favorite way to wear a LBD this summer. Lately, I have also been playing around with a lot of hair accessories and I’m loving this cute leopard bow scrunchie for a not so boring ponytail!

With Flip Flops

Dress | Flip Flops | Bag | Sunglasses, similar here

….

If we could go to the beach, this is how I would wear it haha. Or to run errands like the grocery store. Funny story about these flips flops. I gifted these to all of my bridesmaids and my mom and MIL for our wedding, so we all could have something to change into when our feet started to kill us from the heels we were wearing. Well, I think Addie has chewed about four pairs of mine now haha. It seems every summer I’m buying a new pair because she has destroyed them. They are on the pricier side, but well worth it because they don’t hurt your feet at all!

With Wedges

Dress | Jacket | Wedges | Earrings, similar here

…

A cool and comfy way to wear a LBD for a summer date night. If we ever go on a date night haha. We still aren’t comfortable with dining out, even on a patio so we’ve been having date nights at home lately, which I’ve been getting dressed up for. And also setting the table in a special way! It adds a nice touch and makes the night feel a little more special.

And so last week I ordered this @rhone set and it’s amazing.  Expect to see me in it every weekend moving forward 😂 It’s incredibly soft and I like the polo style sweatshirt that helps to elevate the outfit. Pair with sneakers and throw on a hat when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair.  An easy weekend outfit!

You don’t need more clothes- you just need the rig You don’t need more clothes- you just need the right ones. A few weeks ago I shared 19 items to build a fall capsule wardrobe on my Substack and I own almost all of them. I’ve been wearing the items all season long, mixing and matching and restyling pieces to make them feel fresh and new. Here are 13 outfit ideas…. but endless possibilities.

The final room that finishes off our first floor- The final room that finishes off our first floor- our dining room!  I finally feel like our house is ‘done’- as done as it can be because I still have lots of ideas and projects I want to tackle. I love how our dining room finally came together from the @serenaandlily chairs I’ve had for years (that are incredibly durable) to the new @shopinslee artwork that finishes off the space. We eat in here every night as a family, we talk about our days, we color, we laugh, we entertain. I’ve mixed high (my chairs, chandelier and artwork) and low (curtains, lamps) and mixed in my grandmas blue and white china that I adore. After five years, I feel settled and love this special home! **when we moved in I never thought we would ever get to this point lol**

When I’m playing around with color, I like to stick to silhouettes I know work on my body and that I love to wear. A classic button down, a dark denim straight leg jean and a classic pair of Mary Jane flats. You can have a little fun…and still feel like yourself!

Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I Sometimes I cheat on fashion with home decor and I finally feel like my living room is complete.  And I absolutely adore every single detail of it. The light blue sofa to the oversized chair I love to curl up in with a cozy blanket, the antique chairs I got at an estate sale to the $$$ floral fabric I had to have- I wanted it on my antique chairs but had to compromise and get pretty pillows made instead. The details I stressed over for months.  It finally came together just like I envisioned in my head.  I get to live here and I couldn’t be more excited (and proud!) of what I created!

I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all se I’m going to live in these @margauxny boots all season long!  They are truly my most favorite shoe brand ever. Classics that you want to pull out year after year but the craftsmanship is also superb. They are always my most comfortable shoes, and that’s the main reason I’m such a big fan of the brand.  The new Wells Boot is sleek, lightweight and most importantly made for all weather. Pair them with a classic straight leg jean and an oversized cozy cable knit sweater and you have the perfect fall outfit.

I love the big, oversized fit which makes it super cozy.  It pairs perfectly with my slim ecru jeans. I’m a millennial after all so I’m never giving up on a slimmer jean 🙆🏼‍♀️. The Mary Jane style shoe I can’t quit. They wear like a sneaker because they are so flexible but are more elevated. This outfit works perfect for a work from home day when I want to look (and feel) good but still be comfy.

Wearing my go to leggings in the color I can’t get enough of this season. These leggings are such good quality especially for the affordable price point.

The rollneck sweater I can’t get enough of and just ordered in a third color. I love the oversized, relaxed fit of it. Under $100 and a great one to add to your collection.

Add some fun sneakers and a woven tote bag and you look chic without losing comfort.

And I just ordered my third color of this classic rollneck sweater by @jcrew.  When you love something- buy it in multiples! 

Add a fun pop for a shoe and you have the perfect fall outfit formula!  These @flabelus flats are the absolute best because they are really supportive and comfy right out of the box. I could walk miles in them.
