The Perfect Summer Dress for Work and the Weekend

Hi there, fashion lover! I wanted to show you a dress I bought recently because it’s lightweight, a cute pattern, super flattering, and kept me cool on a hot day. Basically, it’s the perfect summer dress. You can wear it for a breakfast date like I did, or you could wear it for work.

This photo really shows the bright blue & the navy blue in the dress

I styled the dress with cognac slides for my breakfast date – if you scroll down you can see a full length photo of the dress. The colors of the dress are perfect to pair with any shade of tan, white, or navy shoes. I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo, but the polka dots on the dress are navy blue. I think navy slides would be super cute, so you will see I linked a pair below.

I’ve clocked a lot of hours in the office, and I think this dress would be perfect for work. I would probably pick this for a night I knew I was doing something fun after work, too – like a happy hour or a dinner with friends – because it also transitions from day to night really easily. You could bring a change of shoes with you and pair the dress with strappy sandals if you’re going out! I love dresses like this because the options are pretty endless.

For the office look, I’m wearing a black blazer with the dress, but you could definitely wear a navy blazer. The polka dots on this dress are a really pretty navy, but I love to pair black with navy.
