Ladies and gentlemen, it’s July.  Summer BBQ’s, beach days and leisurely city strolls are the name of the game. And all of the above require something comfortable and chic.  You can never go wrong with a little black dress.

Believe it or not, this is the dress I wore home from the hospital after giving birth.  Its muscle tee silhouette is comfy and super flattering.  I like knotting it at the bottom for a bit of personality.  Bonus points if you have short legs – it won’t drag on the ground!

This dress also comes in grey and would be a great cover-up après swim.  I’d definitely pack it for any summer getaways as it’s breathable, won’t wrinkle and can easily be dressed up or down.  I styled it with three summer staples: a straw boater, a bucket bag and flat sandals, but for nighttime I’d pair it with a wedge or block heel, tons of layered necklaces and bangles and a box clutch.

With Fourth of July this week, I’ll definitely be breaking out this dress for lounging with family.  We’re expecting a heatwave in SoCal.  In the past, Fourth of July has been overcast and cool in San Diego, so I’m definitely looking forward to a little sun.
