Summertime Gingham and the Comfiest Oxfords

I may have just spent the last few weeks telling you all about the best fall fashion finds in the Nordstrom sale, but around here, summer is still in full swing in all its scorching glory.  And with so many long days and beach weekends ahead, I’m not complaining about it one bit.

But there is that minor little detail of the heat.  Y’all, I know we can’t really complain about the weather here in Southern California (OK, we can’t complain at all), but it has been a tad on the warm side lately.  So these days I’m pulling out all of the summer dresses, and this one is just about as lightweight as they come.  (So lightweight actually that the wind was getting a bit tricky.)

I love that it incorporates the off-the-shoulder trend without requiring a strapless bra (Hallelujah!! – super similar version here), and nothing says summer like a little black and white gingham.  This one is perfect when paired with sandals, sneakers, or the comfiest, cushiest, perforated platform oxfords.  I know, that’s a real mouth-full, but trust, they’re comf.

Here’s hoping everyone is having a great week and beating the heat.  The weekend is almost here, y’all.

xoxo
