Plaid Midi + Lace-Up Espadrilles


In the summer time, I like to keep my style easy and laid back. It starts with choosing pieces that are made of lightweight materials like this flowy plaid midi dress from BB Dakota. I have wanted a shirt dress for so long but I could not find the style that I want. This button front midi dress is the next best thing to a shirt dress. Even though I am a maxi lover at the core, I have gotten to appreciate midi dresses as of late. They are proving to be as versatile as maxi dresses are in terms of being able to dress them up or down. I got the dress in small but it appears longer to me as I am petite. 
SHOP THE LOOK

Dress: BB Dakota

Lace-Up Espadrilles: Soludos
Watch: JORD (c/o)


To complete my casual summer look, I need an equally comfortable pair of shoes. And what better type of shoe to wear than espadrilles? I've been seriously lusting over all kinds of espadrilles this season - espadrille flats, lace-up espadrilles, wedges espadrilles, and so on. This pair from Soludos (and it's only $55) was the ultimate choice because it is versatile enough to be paired with a few other summer pieces in my closet. It's a must-have if you are looking for a new pair!

 What would you consider is your summer essential?

    I know what you mean about getting into shirt dresses, I've been wanting one in forever. I ordered one and It just was not the right fit and I had to return it! A summer essential for me would be some sandals that go with everthing, I hate having hot feet, lol. Also a maxi dress for sure!
