Sequins and Sea Breezes: Dahlia

Dahlia

6/23/2015

Happy Tuesday loves! Summer is officially here and man have we been feeling the effects already! It was already over 100 this weekend (before the heat index) so I'm pretty sure it's only going to get hotter! With temperatures that high I'm living in maxi dress and bikinis so when I saw this adorable maxi from Sophie & Trey I absolutely had to get it. Even though, like all maxi dresses, it's way too long on me I knew it'd be cute with wedges and I could always get it hemmed even though I'd lose the pretty detail on the bottom.
I love the pretty crochet detail at the neckline and the crisscross back which makes it perfect for those hot summer days. The material is also very lightweight and flowy so you don't have to worry about a lining weighing the dress down or making it ridiculously hot. Because it's already so hot out I kept my accessories at a minimum. The less I have on me to get all hot and sweaty (is that TMI?) the better! What are your summer go-to looks to beat the heat? Tell me I'm not the only one who tries to wear clothing that makes you feel like you're wearing as little as possible (without actually wearing as little as possible) to beat the heat? Sorry for the short post today ladies! I'm exhausted after getting up super early and going to the gym so I'm heading to bed early tonight! Hope everyone has a fabulous day!

    I love the detailing if this maxi. Don't get it hemmed, just wear tall wedges, it would be a shame to loose that. It looks fab on you!! Xoxo,

    Gorgeous dress!! It looks stunning on you! And you know how I love that hat :)
    Girl, I am the queen of trying to (feel like I'm) wearing as little as possible right now, ha ha! It would be terrifying if I was actually wearing as little as possible (although I'll still be sporting the bikini at the pools, ha!)

    I love that dress, so pretty!! Such a fun back. And that black hat looks fabulous on you too! I cant even handle long dresses or skirts when it is THIS hot outside. I try to stick to above the knee....and because maxi dresses look ridiculous on me anyways...but that dress makes me want to try them again.

    What a beautiful pattern on this dress! I have the same problem with maxis, they are always too long. Definitely one of the most comfortable hot weather options though, that's for sure!

    Super cute dress!! Love the back! Unfortunately I never feel comfortable in dresses without backs/straps backs because of the bra issue haha
