It’s summer….it’s hot (most places) and with there being still so many restrictions due to the Covid outbreak, many activities that were traditionally inside are outdoors. This fact makes it necessary to be ready to stay cool but look hot…..figuratively though, not literally. LOL!
Feeling any sample of a breeze is a first priority for me right now. For this look featured, a thin strap, linen wrap dress is the perfect one piece ensemble to beat the heat.
This dress is thin but lined to hide what needs to be tucked away but the split in the wrap is perfect to allow some freedom and comfort. I added my white sneakers…..literally the cheapest shoe I own and the best investment, I wear them constantly! A brim hat, gives me some cover from the sun and a pair of statement earrings from Fashion Plus Chic, complete the look.
The eye catcher is my vintage Chanel Duma backpack. I scored this beauty for a great price as a way to commemorate my new job. I wrote a previous blog post about how to save for luxury items, take a look here.
I admit that there are days where I just throw on a tank and shorts to beat the heat, but this look is a great way to venture out looking grown up and ready to take on the day or night. What’s your go to summer outfit? Let me know in the comments.
Beautiful dress, I love the earrings. It ‘s so important to wear hats in the sun to protect your skin. I remember growing up, every working mother in the neighborhood would be walking to work with an umbrella to shield the sun.

I’ve got to purchase some more. I’ve never really worn them but I’m enjoying the look.
Love the hat! I said it once and I’ll say it again lol I have to linen rompers in my closet and you’re right…they’re perfect for summer. I find the maxi dresses can get hot and sticky…ewwww! I keep saying that I’m going to get some white sneakers but I haven’t yet. I have a pair of white converse but they’ll start hurting your feet if you wear them for too long…ugh! Love the print on you and the post even more!!!!!

Thanks girl! Maxi dresses just don’t do anything for my shape. I get lost in them! Click my link and add these sneakers to cart! They’re cheap and go with everything! 🥰
Jessica, I love this look!!! In the 80’s I wore Keds (white girl) tennis shoes with my sundresses…but in the 90’s until now I’ve been on a sandle craze. How stylish you look….I’m back!! Your sun hat is pretty. I only go to essential places… but, Jessica, I will be wearing your look to Kroger !!

Thanks LaDon! I remember “white girls” LOL! They are making a comeback, and not the prices I remember! I’ll be glad when we can get out again but for now, I guess we’ll be slaying for groceries and supplies! 😂
I love the entire ensemble, including the Chanel backpack! Very cute! My go to is a lightweight tee, and homemade, distressed jean shorts.
