Dear Chrissy,
This feather light cotton dress is one of my favorites for hot, humid days. It’s really only appropriate for summer, so I try to get as much wear out of it as possible during the season. It helps that the color goes so great with just about anything, and that I can dress it up or down as long as the occasion isn’t too fancy.
eShakti dress | Stuart Weitzman sandals (S/S 2011) | Rebecca Minkoff MAC | J.Crew sunflower necklace (currently on sale for $39.99) | Coach, J.Crew and AMY O. Jewelry bangles
I finally caved and got the J.Crew sunflower necklace. It was a toss up between white and pink, but white won out for versatility. The plating is antique, so I think it’ll be a good fall and winter piece, too. This is one necklace that I actually think is worth its full price ($50) because the resin and chain are both very high quality. If you’re on the fence about this one, I encourage you to buy. It’s worth the price, especially now that it’s marked down.
Hope you had an excellent weekend! Have you bought anything fun lately?

Love the swiss dot on chambray! Light and breezy, and anchored only by the delicate gold pieces of jewelry! Brilliant!

Swiss dot! I love Swiss dot. It’s such a fun texture, I always want to pet it and play with the nubs when I’m wearing something Swiss dotty. That color is gooooorgeous on you too!
I bought a really cute second pair of Danskos recently because my first pair were so comfy, and I also got a pretty adorable dress at one of my favorite thrift stores over the weekend. I wore them together today, obviously.
Alexandra Shook says
I love Swiss dot, too! Especially tights, although those always seem to rip :(
Chrissy says
I agree with the first comment. That dress looks fantastic on you. I adore the bangles as well! You might be able to get some Autumn use out of it with a cardigan and some tights (colored maybe) who knows.
Alexandra Shook says
I could try the cardigan but tights are a no go (I tried)– the dress just sticks to them :( I’ll have to restyle when the weather cools off!

Alexandra Shook says
This is my first J.Crew necklace ever but I totally love it!
Lexi says
This is a perfect hot Summer outfit IMO because it’s a simple, pretty dress played up with accessories. That’s usually how I try to dress in the heat, thanks for the inspiration!
Alexandra Shook says
It’s definitely the best way to dress in the heat… the last thing I want to wear is something fussy!
Lyddiegal says
That dress is really adorable on you (who doesn’t love polka dots and pockets?) and the pleated waistband is so flattering!
