White Dresses

A classic white dress is a summer staple, and these two finds are timeless. First up is a crisp white mini dress from J.Crew—simple, elegant, and endlessly versatile. I styled it with a structured rattan handbag and nude heels for a clean, polished look that works beautifully for any summer event. The second dress is a darling white eyelet mini shirtdress from Anthropologie. The feminine detailing adds charm, and I paired it with rattan sandals and a woven purse for a relaxed, elevated outfit that’s perfect for vacation strolls or outdoor gatherings.

DRESS | HEELS

This cream crochet panel mini dress is the perfect blend of delicate and playful, making it a standout piece for any summer occasion. The crochet detailing adds beautiful texture and a touch of romance, while the flattering silhouette keeps things chic. I styled it with nude heeled sandals to elongate the legs and a mini purse for a polished, feminine finish. Whether you’re heading to a dinner by the water or a weekend brunch, this look strikes the perfect balance between casual and dressed-up.

Blue Hues

These two blue floral dresses are summer staples that bring elegance and ease to any warm-weather wardrobe. First up is a stunning blue maxi dress with a white floral print from Hermoza. It’s breezy and perfect for vacation dinners or garden parties. I styled it with platform sandals for a little height and paired it with my go-to rattan handbag for a natural, beachy touch. The second look features a blue midi dress from Tuckernuck with a charming, complementary floral pattern. Its tailored yet feminine silhouette makes it ideal for daytime events, and I finished the look with heeled sandals and, again, that trusty rattan handbag. Both dresses prove that florals and rattan are a match made in heaven!

Other Fun Colors

If you’re looking for easy yet elevated summer dresses, these two finds are not to be missed. First is a vibrant red eyelet midi dress from J.Crew that’s equal parts bold and classic. The eyelet detailing adds a breezy texture that feels just right for summer, and the striking red color makes it a standout piece for everything from brunch to backyard gatherings. On the softer side of the spectrum, the sage green linen maxi dress from Z Supply brings a relaxed sophistication that’s perfect for vacation strolls or casual dinners. Its lightweight feel and flattering silhouette make it a warm-weather essential!

DRESS | PURSE | HEELS

For a sleek and versatile summer look, this black knit midi dress from Varley is a wardrobe staple. Its lightweight knit fabric drapes beautifully, offering both comfort and polish. The flattering silhouette hugs in all the right places without feeling too tight, making it easy to dress up or down. I styled it here with black sandals and a rattan handbag for a look that’s elevated and vacation-ready.
