Navy Maxi

My long summer break is coming to an end, but my summer dresses are still making an appearance before the cool weather strikes. I would love to consider this a transitional piece, but all of the qualities of this dress scream summer. Lightweight, silky and sleeveless are the perfect combination to beat the August heat. I couldn’t imagine a more fitting dress to end the season. Perfect for a casual evening out, I paired it with my metallic fisherman sandals, a belt to give myself more shape and a few of my favorite Trollbeads rings of course. I’ve already planned to wear it to class this semester by adding a denim or leather jacket to create a more relaxed feel. What makes this dress so perfect is the flair at the bottom. It’s so different from anything else I own and adds a great touch to my versatile wardrobe. The mermaid style has never been something I’m drawn too, but this stunning piece caught my eye immediately.

Can we take a moment to admire these shoes please? I did a little shopping before leaving for school and I couldn’t leave these behind. The moment I laid eyes on them I was hooked. I debated buying them, afraid of being too impulsive, but they were well worth the money- I’ve already worn them five times within the past week! You can definitely consider me obsessed.

What are your favorite end-of-summer pieces? Let me know in the comments! Also, get excited for some awesome autumn content coming your way within the next couple months… its going to be great.
