This dress might look seemingly simple and casual at first glance, but in fact, it has a lot of going on. Between the beautiful silhouette with the flare accent and the oh so trendy palm leaf print, it’s actually an amazing dress that can easily be dressed down or up depending on an occasion and type of day. I opted to wear it casually with a pair of white sandals and a pastel pink bag (matching the leaves patterns on the dress), but I can easily envision it with a pair of high heeled brown sandals for a date night as well. Also, I really love the color palette on this dress: brown, white, pastel pink and mint altogether look so pretty, and you can match your shoes and accessories with any of those colors. I really like pastel pink accessories this summer and because of that I’m so glad I got this amazing cross body bag because I’m really getting a lot out of it. I’m wearing it almost every day! Good news – all my outfit pieces: sandals, dress as well as the bag are now under $10 each. Don’t miss out on the fabulous sales on these items. Details below:

Linen Dress Perfect for Summer

Striped Dress - Summer Outfit Idea
 

It’s rare that I wear something the day after I originally buy it, but today the temperatures skyrocketed to the low 80s. It was just a perfect day to wear this dress. It’s a linen dress, so in the heat it is a little easy to get wrinkled (as you can see from the pictures). But it’s such a comfortable dress, perfect length, open shoulders that, besides the wrinkling part, I can’t complain much. Plus, it was a deal for $10 from the original price of $34! What an occasion!

The sandals are from last year. If you go back to my last summer posts, I wore them pretty much all the time. That’s why I like buying tan/beige shoes because they go with any outfit. Plus, these are slip ons, so comfortable!

For my accessories, I chose a mint color bracelet that I thought was a nice contrast to the yellow stripes. My ring and earrings are from Rocksbox. I’m obviously putting the subscription to good use! Just a reminder, if you want to try your first month free, use this code: glamorglossxoxo.

Zig Zag Print and Lots of Color – Summer Look

Pink, red and black striped summer dress

 

Hi guys! Today’s look I’m featuring is one of my favorite summer dresses. It’s a colorful and crazy print like nothing you have probably seen before. The vibrant pink, red and orange hues make you look like a firecracker. And wait until you see the back of this dress!

This print might be a little bit heavy on the eyes with all those little lines and zig zags covering the entire dress, but to me it creates this beautiful and unique ethnic print.

And here is the back! I told you it’s worth waiting for!

 

Coach shoulder bag

The bag of the day is my new Coach Swingpack with Pop-Up Pouch. It looks small, but it has many pockets and compartments, one of which is also removable.  It’s perfect!

The accessories I chose match not only some of the colors on the dress, but also my black Coach shoulder bag.

And how about this amazing nail polish color! And, of course, it matches the dress perfectly! It’s Doutzen Nude from L’oreal.

Floral Strapless Blue Summer Dress

I bought this floral strapless dress a while ago, but I wear it every summer over and over again. It’s one of those timeless pieces that never goes out of style. Plus, it’s perfect for hot summer days as it’s strapless and the color is one of my favorite things about this dress.

I paired this dress with brown flat Coach sandals to make this look casual and comfortable. Mission accomplished!

This dress is one of my favorite dresses for summer. One, because I love stripes, two, because the colors are bright and three, it’s made of a light fabric, so it’s very cool on a hot day. The neckline is very pretty too and the buttons are cute embellishments to this seemingly simple dress. Seemingly, because there is a lot of going on with the stripes running in diverging directors, as well as the other things I mentioned above.

I paired this dress with beige sandals and bag. (Details below)

I have a perfect bracelet to wear with this dress as well. It’s also peach in color and is as chic as the dress itself, in my opinion.

As you can see in these pictures, I’m wearing different sandals. These are actually flat ones, but it shows how versatile this dress can be. You can either wear it with more fancy sandals that would give you a showy, more sophisticated type of look (perfect for a party), or pair it with a casual pair of sandals to go shopping, for example.
