Hi my loves!! I don’t know where you all are but here in Alabama the weather is seriously hinting at summer with temps reaching the high 80s already! Personally, I am like bring it on!! That means fun in the sun and cute summer looks! I am pretty excited because I am doing another local event here in Huntsville! Come out this Saturday for the Summer Kick off with Lane Bryant!! I will be there from 2-4pm to help with styling and shop with you!!
For this event, Lane Bryant let me pick out of their great summer pieces to put together a look to show you! Let me just tell you, LB has some CUTE summer stuff right now! Tons of shorts in different lengths and cuts, lots of kimonos for layering and some easy casual dresses to get you through the heat while still looking chic. I went with a dress + kimono combo for this look and cannot wait to share it with you all!

The Look
I knew I wanted to go for a more casual look to kick off summer, so I picked up this Navy Midi Dress. It is a soft jersey knit with drawstring ruched detail at each side of the hem. I got it in an 18/20 and the fit is nice and loose, you could size down in this for more of a bodycon look which I think would be adorable as well! The dress features a scoop neck, is sleeveless and has pockets, which is awesome! I love the ruched details on the sides of the dress, I think that accent spices it up some!
Even with the ruched sides, this is a solid print dress so I wanted to add a layering piece. I saw this gorgeous embroidered kimono and though it would be the perfect compliment to the dress. It has all-over floral embroidery and instead of being a straight cut it is gathered at the waist which adds some shape that is so complimentary to the curves. It features an open front and 3/4 sleeves. I love that it is a long line cut so that you can wear it with dresses, jeans or even shorts! I also love the girly scalloped neckline and hem. This will be a piece that I wear all through the summer with different looks and maybe even on the beach as a swimsuit cover! It’s gorg!
Accessories
I went in at Lane Bryant, I picked up accessories for this look there as well. Sandals were a must for this look and if you know me or have read my blog for a while then you know my love for all things animal print! These comfy wedge sandals with three straps in a mix of faux leather and faux suede with some saucy animal print were the perfect addition! Also, bonus they are wide width and have cushion padding for extra comfort. I am usually a 8.5 but in wide width I size down to an 8, which is what I did with these and they fit great!
Lately, I have been all about the hoop earring but I hate chunky heavy earrings that I end up taking out after wearing for half a day. So, I grabbed some gold polished wire hoop earrings in an octagon shape. I have crazy sensitive ears and these have posts that are nickel-free, so I can wear them all day with no irritation. Plus that are chic and I love the look of them!
Here are all the links to shop this chic summer look from Lane Bryant!
