Welcome to the last day of Style Perspectives, and the beginning of Create28 June with the ladies of The Blended Blog!
Last week's looks were so much fun, and I loved seeing everyone's nautical style. Thanks to everyone who linked up with us and joined in the fun!
This week we're styling a summer dress with Andrea. She has the loveliest dresses, so I can't wait to see what she chose for today. Be sure to head to The Blended Blog to find out, and see who had the top clicked links from last week.
Deena and I did a little switcheroo, so today is my feature for Create28. I originally signed up for Fringe Fun, then had a little panic moment when I realized I didn't own anything with fringe. Deena came to my rescue, because she's nice like that, and offered to trade me for Summer Go-To. I have since acquired something with fringe (on a brief break from my shopping ban), so I may hijack her day and share in the fun that is fringe!
Luckily for me, my Summer Go-To happens to be a summer dress. A few years ago I discovered the wonderful world of maxis and swings and shifts. So comfortable and cool for summer.
This chambray shirt dress is a little heavy, so I won't be able to wear it once the temps heat up. But around here, that might be awhile. The espadrille sandals were a Loft purchase several years ago. I've never worn them, because they got lost in the archives. Which, reminder to self, is why I'm on a shopping ban!
Linking up today with The Pleated Poppy, Thursday Fashion Files, Fashion Friday, Fabulous Friday, Pumps and Pushups, How I Style It, Not Dead Yet Style, My Refined Style, Thursday Moda, I do Declaire, Ageless Style

Thank you. Who knows what else is in there?
Deletebahahhaha, shoes getting lost in the archives. Love it. I love this dress on you and can't wait to see what you find with fringe!
ReplyDeleteI mean what you style with fringe.
DeleteIt's not too exciting, but it's fringe-y!
DeleteI never did find a chambray dress I loved but this one is perfect on you! I really like those espadrille sandals! Glad you found them in the archives!

Making the Most of Every Day
Thanks Sheila!
DeleteI love your chambray dress, I have one, but I don't love it. Looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI really like the light color of this one - thank you!
DeleteLove that chambray dress on you! Gorgeous, it's like that was made for you! :_
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. It's a little short, but I figure I can get away with it for summer.
DeleteMan, these Wednesdays come back around way too fast. The dress is perfect for summer - I want it!
ReplyDeleteI think they have some similar ones at Old Navy.
DeleteAdorable dress - and those shoes are so cute, I wish I could wear cute shoes - I have man feet LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole!
DeleteThe dress is darling and I like it with that tassel chain. The shoes are fabulous. Anything else lost in the archives that cute means digging time!
ReplyDeleteI agree - need to get those archives cleaned out!
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mili!
DeleteThose shoes are too cute to be lost pretty lady. I love the little denim shirtdress too. I would wear this every day off for Summer. Glad you ladies started off the month with dresses. I am shopping my closet all month (no shopping for me) and I will be wearing/styling a new/different dress every day in June. So welcome by. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with me before. Welcome by tomorrow and linkup again. Have a great day! Ada. =)
Let me know what date you may co-host with me, also. =)
Dresses are the best for summer!
DeleteSuch a cute dress! And I love the espandrilles! I can't believe you have never worn them. Well, at least you found them; I'm sure you'll get some wear out of them this summer! :-)

Andrea’s Wellness Notes
Thanks Andrea - I think they'll be on repeat!
DeleteLove the pop of color and stripes in the shoes. Such a perfect casual and easy look. Great go-to pick.
ReplyDeleteThank you friend!
DeleteI like that denim dress. Isn't Deena sweet like that!
ReplyDeleteLIsa
Daily Style Finds
Yep, she really is!
Deleteohhhh I LOVE the shoes!!! I don't have any espadrilles. I also don't have a chambray dress... what is happening to me? Must be because I was pregnant last summer lol. You look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Me thinks you need to get some more shopping done - I'm available to help!
DeletePretty little summer dress. A lightweight, chambray dress is on my wish list for this summer too. I really love the pop of color you've incorporated into your look and the shoes need to be worn over and over again.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I think Old Navy has one similar to this color.
DeleteI love those espadrilles. They are too cute. I am a sucker for stripes. Thanks for linking-up with me today.
ReplyDeleteTania @ http://www.50isnotold.com
Thanks Tania!
DeleteGotta love a good find from the archives like your Loft sandals and my belt this week. We rock! I think this dress is absolutely you. I loved Deena's multi-color, pocketed grad dress and it was HER to ME. This chambray is YOU to ME. Perfect fit, just skims your body and shows off your hard work with 21 DF. Love the bright necklace, but your smile and halo of blonde hair are the best!
ReplyDeleteLeslie, you are too sweet. Like you said on your blog, I think the 21 day fix needs to do a little more fixin on me though!
DeleteCute dress!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan!
DeleteSuch a sweet and pretty dress! I love this on you!
ReplyDeleteBrooke
Pumps & Push-Ups
Thank you - I think it's going to be a favorite this summer!
DeleteI Have been looking for a chambray dress and its tough to find one that is long enough for me. Yours is perfect, pretty light blue and love the espradrilles as favorite trend !
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with MRS!

Thanks Jessica. This one might be a little short for me, but I figured I could get away with it for summer!
DeleteI absolutely love that chambray shift! Sometimes shifts look boxy but this one doesn't...it's really flattering! And I have that same necklace :)
ReplyDeleteYay - love that necklace!
DeleteYou look gorgeous in this dress, and like everyone else (!) I adore the necklace. I'm also well jealous of your weather, as I sit here cold and layered up today! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you - our cold weather is coming back soon!
DeleteThose shoes are too cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison!
DeleteCute dress, and I love your shoes & necklace with it!

DeleteYou look so Cute, Lana! Your bright pink necklace just really pops against the chambray and I am glad you rediscovered these wonderful striped espadrilles. Ha - I Need to put myself on a shopping ban and soon. My closet seriously runneth over...
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday! Hope to see you back next week.
