Blue skies and sunshine. That’s what summer is all about!

Summer dressing should be that way too. Easy, effortless and happy! There’s nothing like an effortless summer look to help get you there.

To me, summer and dresses go hand in hand. They’re the perfect pair and make for a gorgeous look. I styled this blue and white maxi dress with a few accessories and it took very minimal effort.

If you’ve been a reader for a bit, you know that’s what I’m all about. There’s nothing like wearing a dress you feel beautiful in, adding a swipe of your favorite lipstick and mascara, and heading out the door.

That’s one of the best parts of summer: simplicity. Simplified routines, simplified schedules and simplified style.

How to Achieve an Effortless Summer Look

  1. To recreate an effortless summer look with pieces you already own, the key is to choose something comfortable, yet polished. Whether it be a pair of wide-leg pants, a flowy maxi dress, twirl-worthy midi dress, or a maxi skirt. Any of these pieces are the perfect choice for your ideal effortless summer look.
  2. Now that you have the main part of your summer look, all you need are a few accessories! I styled my maxi dress with light-weight wicker earrings and a matching circle straw bag. I finished it off with some curls and a bold lip…my new favorite color for the season!
  3. Finally, grab your favorite pair of statement earrings and lipstick, and you’re all set. This look is perfect for vacation, hosting dinners at home, summer date nights, you name it!

The 2/3 rule has been a game-changer when getting The 2/3 rule has been a game-changer when getting dressed every day!

The hack is to choose two out of three of the following to put effort into that day - hair, makeup, or outfit. Ex: if your hair and makeup is done, then your outfit is more simple or casual.

I read an etiquette book years ago called Modern Etiquette Made Easy, that talked about this rule and I always come back to it often when getting dressed!

It’s a simple approach that works every time.
