hello darlings! is it just me {this very well could be the case} or can you not get away from silky dresses in neutral tones this summer? my wardrobe seems to have been taken over by soft frocks, a hint of lace here, or ruffle there, which require only a belt and a bangle to achieve that easy-chic so synonymous with summer. my tan and off-white dresses pair perfectly with the currently oh-so-fashionable nude shoes, in flat, wedge, or heels, and go from day-time casual to elegant evening simply with a change of jewelry, bag, and hair. my suitcase for nyc this weekend will include at least six of these neutrals {not at all necessary, but they weigh but an ounce!}: camel with black dots and gathered waste, flowing camel with brown belt, palest pink with ruffled neckline and shoulders, a grecian-inspired number with bubble skirt in cream, off-white, draped, with lace shoulders, and this {above}, most recent purchased for only $58 at 344.
beautifully detailed in swirling flowers, with thousands of little chiffon petals, the body hits just above the knee and cinches at the waist, matching sheer fabric creating an alluring but conservative top, gathered together in the reverse by a sweet bow. add sky-high nude heels, a clutch in the same, long pearls, and a rose-gold bangle, contrasted by chestnut brown locks and bright red lipstick, and say hello to saturday night in new york. {others will be parfait for journey down, friday evening drinks, wandering the met, picnic in the park, and farewell brunch.} although not farewell for long because i start in the city in just over a month! but what if i were heading to the coast instead? strappy sandals in gold, of course, and a basket-style bag in straw large enough to hold my sweater, prepared for the evening's cool beach breeze. oh and swap the necklace for more dramatic earrings.
more neutral beauties:
wherever you're heading, a neutral frock will keep you cool & comfortable, with elegant composure, and a touch of romance this weekend. {oh, and pair with a boyish blazer, and the look will last you long into september.} what are your weekend plans? it is nearly here ... for now, enjoying sun on my skin & perfect weather by the pool. xx hillary
oh and one more {for good luck}
