HALTER-NECK MIDI DRESS

HALTER-NECK MIDI DRESS
Hi, everyone! It’s HOT! It’s supposed to be 106-107 all week here. It’s good that we are leaving for a few days to cooler temperatures. Everyone I talk to is SO over the summer and ready for Fall, but we all know it doesn’t happen here until October. Speaking of, I was in a couple of stores that already have Fall and Halloween decor out last week. I just can’t!
Since it’s still hot as Hades, I wanted to show you all a dress I bought that is perfect to wear in the heat of the summer and into September. I love this halter-neck midi dress from Madewell. This is one comfortable and cool dress with cinch-able side ties and ruffle tiers (it comes in a pretty green, too!). This dress is handy for summer dinners, lunch out, vacation strolling, and much more. I wore it with my Christian Dior Dway slides from last year (similar) and a Dior vintage bag (I love this bag from Madewell). You can wear this dress with any shoe, from sandals to heels. If you don’t like showing your arms, a draped blazer looks great over this dress.
As the stores prepare for pre-fall, there are some great sales and deals to be had, and pieces you can wear right into Fall, like this blazer. The price is unreal! I’m about to add this puffer coat to my cart. I love the color! I own this cropped blazer and love it. It’s on sale! A striped top never goes out of style; this one is super cute! I love a platform sandal with a dress or skirt and think these are fabulous to wear into Fall. I think this leather orange crossbody will look so great with fall colors. One of my favorite dresses from last Fall is this Ulla Johnson velvet. This dress is in limited sizes and is a Final Sale, but if you know your size and want a beautiful fall/winter dress, this is it! I found a great-looking pair of Mother jeans on sale. The darker color is great as we advance into Fall, and these will make your legs look long! I have this kitten heel shoe in the raffia (sold out), but who doesn’t need a black shoe? I wear mine with jeans constantly, and I am getting them in black and possibly orange!
I love to show things on sale because I love the hunt! If you ever need to locate or find something, email me, and I can try to help you find it!

My husband and I celebrated forty years of marriage on Sunday. I don’t know how that is possible since I am still in my forties (at least I think that!)! It is a milestone that hasn’t been easy at times. Anyone with a long relationship, be it with a spouse, parent, child, or friend, will have some challenging times. Life is hard,d and we are all wired differently. Anyway, I am a grateful girl!
I hope you all have a great day! Stay safe (and cool), and Be well! xx

Congratulations on your 40th Anniversary!! It goes by SO fast!! My husband and I just celebrated our 30th Anniversary (yes, I was a child bride too!! 😀 ). The thing I always tell people (who ask “How did y’all do it?!”) is that you have to have a lot of grace – the biblical grace. Be courteous and kind to one another ALWAYS. Life throws us LOTS of curveballs that NO ONE expects. You have to take each trial and turn it into a triumph (or, at least a learning experience), by showing the kindness that you would want from your spouse (or anyone else, for that matter).
Anyway…It’s hot as Hades here too! SO over it! But, at least we don’t have brutal winters, so that’s an OK trade in my book!!
Have a great weekend!!
