Summer is here friends, and I for one couldn’t be more excited!! Jumping for joy is definitely an understatement. I’ve worn this printed dress more than its fair share of times the past few month. The print is simply darling and the drop-waist is so flattering. Plus in Houston heat & humidity, linen is definitely a nice fabric to lean towards. Albeit, catch me almost always carrying a blazer, sweater or wrap to keep warm in upon entering frigid restaurants, stores, etc. It’s simply ridiculous how restaurants and shops crank down the a/c to sub-level temps with summer coming.

Hope you and yours had a lovely long-weekend!
