With only one more week until the official start of summer, I wanted to share a dress that I’ll be reaching for again and again in the coming months.
It’s flirty, it’s twirly, it’s cotton, it’s mini. Basically the perfect summer staple. You’ve seen a version of this dress before – it was one of your Top 5 Favorites in May.
Rhode Resort is a brand I discovered more than a year ago and I immediately fell hard. Their specialty is resort wear in vibrant prints and colors. I love that they stick to a formula – they basically do the same 5 dresses and mix up the fabric.
The Ella dress is my absolute favorite. The proportions are spot on; 3/4 length sleeves with a mini skirt. The fabric is breathable and comfortable – hello cotton. And the fit couldn’t be easier. It’s basically a tunic with a voluminous skirt. The fact that you can cinch the waist according to your shape makes this style look good on everyone. Plus, the back is slightly longer than the front, so you don’t have to worry about it being too mini.
I dressed mine up with a statement bag and patent leather mules in a pop color, but it looks just as fabulous worn casually. I’ve paired it with espadrille sneakers and flat leather sandals. It would also look amazing with a western inspired bootie.
I’ve linked some of my favorite prints and colors below (majority are on sale), along with some other styles from the brand. One of my fave retailers is having an additional 25% off the sale. Get ’em while they’re hot!
