I purchased this dress over a month ago and have been patiently waiting for a chance to wear it, weather permitting.  This time of year it can sometimes be a bit tricky to dress for the ever-changing weather.  Balmy days in the south can waver from chilly to heat wave from hour to hour.  I like to keep my anorak jacket nearby as a last minute throw-on and since I typically prefer zero sun to touch my skin (kidding…mostly) a hat is never too far away when it’s warm.  Luckily both pair well with new summer staple dress.

Dress: Gap; Jacket: Old Navy (old, but similar here); Hat: Anthropologie; Wedges: Nine West (old, but how fun are these); Sunglasses: Karen Walker; Lips: Lancome Rouge in Love “Miss Coquelicot 146B“
