Un-Fussy Paisley.
The last thing I need or want when it is really hot out is a lot of clunky jewelry and unnecessary layers. Actually, I could have worn this Strapless Dress on its own but I tried it layered with a Tank Top underneath. These Seamless Stretch Tank Tops by WHBM - like I showed layered with another dress yesterday, also - are super nice and versatile and wash very well. I have several in Black and several in White. Today I am wearing the Camisole version. They even have them in the built-in bra version but I prefer the regular kind. They are usually on promotion also, at about 25% off each when you buy two or more. Anyway, simple beads and my sunglasses - which do stand out - were all I added to this outfit, which isn't much exciting or really that blog-worthy but it is real life. =)

I hear you- when it's hot and/or humid outside, I keep the jewelry to a minimum. As much as I would love to wear my big, chunky statement necklaces, they're just too uncomfy when the temperatures are high! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the print here, Ada. Too cute!

You have to love a good cami! I wear one almost every day. Love this dress! It's a great print and length!
ReplyDeleteThat dress has a lovely pattern! And your sunglasses are super fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pattern on your dress! Printed dresses are nice lightweight options for summer :)
ReplyDeleteI also don´t wear chunky jewelry nor dress in layers when it´s super hot outside though what you did with the tank top and strapless printed dress is ingenious! I´d defintely wear this combo than wear a strapless bra under anything strapless, hahaha! Lovely look, Ada! :)

Love this oufit, those sunglasses are super fun and very engaging into this dress. I love wearing tons of jewelry all year around when I do. It just makes the outfit more fun, plus fashion always comes with a price sometimes during hot weather, but who cares right? Just wear it like you mean it! :)
ReplyDeleteCute dress!!!

I don't like wearing a lot of chunky jewelry in the summer either, it gets too hot and sticky. I like wearing more dainty or even longer necklaces so they aren't heavy laying on my skin.
ReplyDeleteI love the print on your dress, and it looks so flirty, floaty and cool! Thanks so much for linking to #AllAboutYou! Hope you're having a great week x
