About 13 years ago I purchased this little brown dress on clearance for $19.00 at Lucy. I’m pretty sure it is my favorite item of clothing I have ever owned. I still wear it at least once a week and I still love it as much as the day I bought it. It’s simple, machine washable, cool on these hot summer days, can be dressed up or down and is perfect for travel because it doesn’t wrinkle.
A few days ago I thought how much I would love to own another one like it. I didn’t have time to go shopping so instead I jumped online and searched for “best summer dresses”. What came up was Walmart and a bunch of cute, really inexpensive dresses. For those of you who know me, I could care less about labels, name brands or even the latest “style”. I do however love simple dresses because they represent everything I embrace. They are feminine, easy to throw on, cool, and wash and wear (I hate to iron). I have only been to Walmart once in the past 10 years but I decided to order a few dresses (5 to be exact). The total was about $50.00. Here are some photos of what I ended up with.
Under this short striped dress I wore a pair of little shorts.
My sister Mary also decided to order a few dresses. Each one was under $10.
If this Washington heat wave continues..and it will…I’m ready! What is your favorite summertime style?
