{Criss-Cross Dress, Straw Hat, Salvatore Ferragamo Sunglasses, Amrita Singh Bangles, Catbird Rings, Lancel Tote, Ankle-Strap Sandals}

I  purchased this dress a couple of months ago on a whim, and I had no idea just how fabulous it would make me feel. The bright, cheery red makes a pretty statement all on its own, so I decided to keep my accessories fairly simple – just a glamourous floppy straw hat (that I purchased years ago but still remains a classic to this day) and a few turquoise baubles. Speaking of turquoise… I can’t believe I’ve never thought to pair it with this shade of red before. I usually wear it with pink or pastels, but I’m really digging this color combo, and I can’t wait to experiment with it some more this season.

{Navy Dress (ON SALE!), Boater Hat, Espadrilles via Casa Hernanz in Madrid (also love these and these}

Red, white and blue outfits are all the rage this time of year, and I’m making sure to get a practice run in before the 4th of July weekend hits! I got this gorgeous navy blue striped dress last winter, and it’s on super-duper sale now. The first time around, I layered it with a cozy turtleneck and knee-high boots. But now that the temps are soaring, it looks equally fetching with bare legs and sleek espadrilles.

Truth be told, I hate spending a lot of time getting dressed in the mornings. That’s why I love easy dresses like this one that I can just throw on with a pair of sandals, and GO!  I hadn’t shopped at Old Navy for a while, but recently I popped over to their website and checked out with 6 dresses for around $100 total (go hard, or go home as they say). So now I’m happy to say that I’ve got lazy dressing down for almost a whole week.
