We're experiencing a tiny little heatwave over here (FINALLY YEAH). Whenever the temperatures reach that point where you'd walk the streets naked if you could, my closet only offers a limited selection of weather-proof options. After all, it doesn't make much sense to own a lot of sveltering heat appropriate garments when the thermometer hardly ever points any higher than 20°C, if we're lucky.
HOWEVER, today and yesterday were two of those days. This dress ticks almost all of my summer heat boxes:
- cotton
- not covering too much skin yet modest (no cleavage or spaghetti straps, not too short)
- can be worn sans bra without looking messy/too sexy
- fabric has just the right amount of heaviness in order not to reveal my unmentionables at the lightest breeze
- printed so it doesn't show sweat marks or my underwear
- it has a bow
Only thing I would change: brighter colors! But it is pretty much perfect in every way, like Mary Poppins :-)
Every time the weather gets like this I think to myself I should buy more dresses like this one, but that's just an excuse I tell myself to justify shopping. I SEE RIGHT THROUGH MY OWN LITTLE SCHEMES MISSY
dress: Mango
sandals: H&M
ring: Alex Monroe
Leuk jurkje weer! xx
ReplyDeletesupermooi kleedje! zoals je zegt, ze heeft het allemaal, de perfecte zomerjurk :)
ReplyDeleteYep, it has the perfect combo of modest-yet not-too-covering going on. It's amazing, with so many damn dresses out there, it's so hard to find a good one sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been awwwwesome the last two days. Too bad I'm cooped up with the evil thesis! ; D
Everytime it reaches over 20 degrees I'm at a loss on what to wear, but this dress you have on is perfect!! It's hard to stay comfortable in the summer heat and look as chic as you do. The back of this dress is ammmmazing!

ReplyDeleteThis is so random but I love the color of your toenails! That shade of pinky purple is one of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteI love light cotton dresses for hot days! The print and straps on yours are so cute! Totes summer babe times.
ReplyDeleteLeuk kleedje! Inderdaad perfect voor dit weer. En bedankt voor de tips :).
ReplyDeletelove your little list because it is so true! you are right about the brighter colours, it would just me more you! you always start to glow when are wearing bright hot summer colours! but the no bra thing, works for you, but i am sure it does not work for everybody! i have like a bra phobia, but i must say, perfect on you
ReplyDeleteVind dit echt een supermooi jurkje, staat je keigoed :)
ReplyDeleteLove the back of your dress. xo
ReplyDeletethe dress is gorgeous, I don't often shop in Mango, this is really lovely though! It's 30 degrees in London, pretty stuffy and a nightmare on public transport! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad weather (and life!) doesn't allow this kind of dressing more often. I love the red detail, such a pretty dress, it looks lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteI already knew this dress was cute, but after reading the list of reasons as to why it's great, i love it even more! I'm glad you're finally getting some heat :)
ReplyDeleteA very cute, breezy dress. I really love the style of the back. I'm glad you're enjoying your heat wave! I'm about over summer weather already haha
