I love an easy and “light as air” maxi dress for the summer.  In airy fabrics, a flowing frock is perfect for the heat of the summer and can be dressed up or down with minimal accessories.  I paired my striped maxi dress with a great summer wedge and simple hat.  By adding a beaded bracelet it creates the perfect pop of color without over-doing it.  The look is still effortless and easy peasy.

As I was flipping through the July issue of InStyle, I was happy to see that they featured summer’s sweetest shade – Watermelon!  The pinkish-red hue with a punch of orange looks great on many skin tones and adds a little color pop to an outfit.  I was also excited to see that a shirtdress I recently scooped up at Banana Republic was featured on the page.  I decided to pair the dress with a khaki flower belt and tangerine shoes to make the outfit extra sweet.

A note about this necklace – It is my newest obsession because a) it was an amazing bargain and b) it goes with so much! I love a good statement piece and this bubble bib necklace completes the look.
