August calls for a super breezy striped maxi dress.
August is always a hot, humid mess in Kansas City. It’s also the last chance to wear all the super bright, super breezy summery things before fall fashion starts to creep into the wardrobe. Today I’ve got on this striped maxi dress with a fun handkerchief hem. Lightweight is the name of the game this time of year, so the gauzy material of this dress is perfect if you’re going with a longer length. I’m digging the beach blanket-esque stripe, too.
I pulled out these white studded sandals (last seen in 2018!) to add a little attitude and went minimal on the accessories because it was too hot for heavy jewelry. A dainty Kendra Scott necklace, my grandma’s tennis bracelet (almost exact right here), a few rings, and we called it good to go.
The next few weeks are all about cramming in as many summer things as possible. KC won’t really feel like fall until at least mid-September, but I’ll likely start getting in that fall mood after Labor Day and will start putting together some transition outfits. Until then, let’s enjoy those bright summer ‘fits!
