What I Wore: Summer Hues

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Thursday was Independence Day, so Sean and I headed over to our friends' house to visit.  We ate some tasty food, drank wine/beer, and shared lots of laughs with our friends.  When the sun started to set, we all sat out in the front yard to watch all the fireworks.  It was a fantastic evening!

I decided to wear the comfortable and easy to wear Winona dress from Kiyonna.  I wanted to be summery and this coral color is just beautiful!  I had quite a few pieces of jewelry that went well with it, but it was so gorgeous with the turquoise.  I couldn't deny the pairing.  Not only did I get compliments from my sweet friends, but three cashiers at Lowe's stopped me to compliment the dress and necklace.  That always makes a girl feel good!

I was skeptical of the hi-lo trend for quite some time before I tried this dress.  (I've also worn the pretty green version.)  It is quite lovely, flowing, and something extra to make it more interesting.  I love the way it looks.

Wrap dresses are such versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down just by changing your shoes and accessories.  Even with minimal additions to your ensemble, a wrap dress gives an instant "put together" look.  It is a classic piece guaranteed to come in handy for most any occasion.  Plus, it is made of super comfortable soft and stretchy material that isn't too heavy or hot.  Throw it on, tie it up (it stays put), and you are ready for the day!

This dress went well with my nude flats for hanging out with friends and running errands earlier in the day.  I'm a practical girl at heart, but I also paired this dress with my nude wedges for a more dressed up look.
