I hope you had a great July 4th weekend! Mine was a little lower key than expected as I fell asleep after the race and slept through the fireworks… I guess my body needed the rest.
One of the summer trends that I love is the LWD and I have been on the hunt for the perfect one. I thought I found it at Gap with this one, but the sizing was a little off. While returning it, I stumbled on this beautiful coral dress which was calling my name. I love the shape, the color, and of course the fact that it has pockets! You may have seen it on my Instagram last night (here) out for drinks with friends and I’ve worn it to work with a blazer and heels. I can’t recommend this dress enough.
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same thing about the necklace. I loved the turquoise color, but it broke after 2 weeks/3 wears. I know I shouldn’t have expected much from a $5 necklace, but I was still very disappointed in the quality.
I know summer is halfway over, but are there any summer trends you still want to try? I hope your week is off to a great start!

Love the dress and the color. That is the thing I’m learning about buying on the budget, things don’t last, especially if you really like the piece and wear it more than once.

Love the color combo of that dress and necklace. Bummer that it broke so soon! And of course, F21 has the absolute worst return policy. Boo. I still kind of want to try the crop top trend before summer ends!! I just need a time and place where it would actually be appropriate to wear one, and that’s another story! LOL.

I love the coral! Maybe it was meant to be because coral looks so great on you! I love white dresses but I don’t have one because I go to a lot of wedding and I always think “I can’t wear this to a wedding.” Coral is a great wedding color though!

I love little white dresses in the summertime, but there’s something about coral that is just beautiful! This entire outfit is gorgeous. That’s too bad about the necklace though!
