When the temps start to get steamy, the last thing I want to do is ~~anything~~ waste time poring over my closet. That’s why I love simple, easy pieces like this white eyelet dress from Old Navy. The cami style is perfect for warm summer days, and I’ve collected a few in different colors and patterns over the years. They always go on sale too, so you can often snag them for around $15 or less! I usually toss a few in may bag whenever I go on vacation because they travel well.

About the Fit:
This style is very forgiving and runs pretty true to size. I’m 5’7″ and the length is just perfect for a casual weekend look – not too long and not too short. The adjustable shoulder straps and panel of elastic in the back also make it easy to accommodate a variety of figures.

Flirty Red Summer Dresses

{ASOS Dress (only $25, and it also comes in WHITE!), VINTAGE Straw Clutch, H&M Tassel Earrings, ZARA Sandals}

I simply could not resist this flirty red dress for my recent trip to Florida. The temps were steaming, and I sizzled in this cute little number. To be honest, I was a bit apprehensive about the cutout in front when I first saw it online. But I decided to take a chance, and boy did it pay off. I’m tempted to go back and get it in white. And who can blame me, since this dress is a whopping $25?!

About the Fit:
I sized up on this one to avoid any weird bulges in the cutout area and to ensure ample boob coverage (working with DD’s over here, lol). That worked out well for me, although I did wind up shortening the straps some (short torso problems). If you have a smaller bust (and a toned tummy), you can definitely order your normal size with no problem.

Red is one of my favorite colors, but I don’t wear it nearly often enough. Looking back at these photos makes me want to change all that, so I’ve rounded up my favorite flirty red summer dresses below.

Happy Shopping!

My luck with finding ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS dresses from Asos continues…

The colors and details on this dress are truly amazing, and it makes me so happy when I wear it. I wore this beauty in Detroit recently while visiting the family, and I truly felt like the belle of the ball. If this streak continues, I’m going to have to get a new closet!

I’ll know I’ll reach for this dress often when I have an event or just want to dress up for no reason (which happens pretty often, actually).

About the Fit:
I have a large bust and not much of a waist line (I’m a gal who loves her french fries, lol), so I ordered up a size to be on the safe side, but that turned out to be unnecessary. The dress came with a layer of tulle underneath that I removed myself, and I eventually plan to have the sides taken in to make it a bit more fitted up top. Those two small changes are definitely worth the effort, in my opinion. In general, I’d say go with your normal size and perhaps even size down if you have a small bust.
