The Perfect Gingham Mini Dress

05/08/20 | Fashion Friday, Fitbit, Gucci, Jack Rogers, Kiss Products, Shopbop, Summer Style

Beach Coverup with Jack Rogers Metallic Whipstitched Flip Flops

There is something about pom poms that just scream Summer to me and considering that it is now the second Friday in May and also a bank holiday here in England it feels like Summer is nearly upon us! This dress with it’s lightweight weave is the perfect pool coverup and with the braided tie at the waist makes it not look like you are wearing a sack but something still covered enough you could wear to a poolside cafe or walk into a shop pre or post beach.  The only negative is that it is dry clean only but the 100% cotton means it is quite breathable even on the hottest day! 

I paired this dress with my oversized Gucci sunglasses which are great for any sunny pool day, especially for those who still like to read while they are relaxing!  A few good book reads I recommend are Where the Crawdads Sing,  the tear jerker Postscript (P.S. I Love You, #2), and the Jojo Moyes novel The Peacock Emporium.  Next up on my list are Walk the Wire by David Baldacci, the NYT Bestseller Little Fires Everywhere, and the very popular London book The Mirror and the Light (it’s in all the shop windows). But enough on books for now, if you would like a post about those let me know, but for now, back to Friday Fashion and this Gingham Mini Dress.

Just looking at these photos makes me wish I was going somewhere warm this bank holiday weekend instead of staying in our London flat but glad to know I have this cute dress on hand for when it is safe to do so again!

    I love this summer dress on you. The waist belt is so cute. Perfect for a beach/pool cover-up and as a going out on a summer night dress with a pair of wedge sandals. Would work for a summer BBQ party too. I can tell you are ready for summer. Hopefully there will be some summer in NYC if the lockdown ends. Otherwise its time to travel somewhere where there will be a normal summer without a lockdown.

    Super fun dress, wish I was wearing it right now.

    Would love to be on a beach or at a summer party right now wearing it. The detail is really cute.

    It is the perfect little mini dress. I could just as easily throw on some cute wedges and head out for drinks or throw it over my favorite swim suit for a boat ride or walk on the beach.

    Here’ to returning to normal asap so we can think about doing things like that.
