Summer Shift Dresses

It’s getting hot here in Texas, so what does that mean? It’s time to break out those summer shift dresses, y’all! Nothing says summer like a shift dress. It’s the ultimate summer staple piece, because it’s comfortable, classic, and easy to wear for so many occasions. Brunch, barbecues, weddings, you name it! Keep scrolling to see why I love this particular one and my favorite picks for summer shift dresses.

Shift dresses are spectacular for summer. They tend to fit more loosely around the waist and hip area, so you can eat and walk around without feeling like fabric is sticking to your body in the summer heat. I love the one I’m wearing here for its classic seersucker stripes, something that won’t ever get out of style! Plus, it’s on sale for $40. What a steal!

I’ve done a little online searching these last few days and found these gorgeous summer shift dresses. Some are colorful, some are bright white, and they all make great pieces for the summer. Lots of them are super affordable and on sale, too! See them below:

And alright, let’s talk about this wall behind me for a second. Isn’t it so fun?! It reminds me of what my bathtub water looks like with LUSH Intergalactic Bath Bomb (amazing demo of that here). East Austin has a plethora of fun walls, and that area is my favorite part of town as of late. As always, thank you for stopping by and reading! Have a wonderful day!
