Today’s look was totally driven by the desire to stay cool and comfortable.
I paired a classic cotton stripe top with a wonderfully cool and bright colored maxi skirt (also worn here).
I recently picked up this delight of a necklace, and I thought what better opportunity than this one to break it into rotation.
To further pull out it's gold accent, I added a thin, gold-tone rope belt alongside sandals with the most adorable metal gold bows (also worn here).
I truly didn’t realize initially that my Beau Tote would go so wonderfully with this ensemble! Once the thought occurred to me, I was sold, and the colors are simply delicious! In the end my mission was accomplished: I felt cool and comfortable =)
What’s your formula for staying cool and comfortable on a hot Summer’s day?
Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

I'd like you to imagine, a chevron maxi dress that never seems to end. Imagine a dress that was hemmed 3 inches shorter, yet it still skims just past your ankles.
I have such a dress, my chevron maxi dress truly feels endless. I've shared previously that I am not very fond of long dresses and skirts. Yet, I'm won over by the fact that that this dress is 100% cotton, and it's super cool and wearable even on the hottest of days.
Okay, enough lounging, on to today's post =)
I'm naturally drawn to chevron prints because they're basically crooked stripes, and IMO stripes win every time.
I usually wear this dress by itself (see here), but I decided to switch things up. Worn with this silk blouse, it looks very much like a long maxi skirt versus a dress (which has stripes on top BTW).
I love sleeveless dresses because they offer versatility. They can be worn alone, with a top underneath, and or with a top on top ;)
Thank you for stopping by today, I wish you a fantastic weekend!
