Even though it’s so hot outside, summer is starting to wind down as fall styles come flooding into stores. It can be hard to think about adding layers when the heat makes me feel so tired and heavy.

Spring Dress, Flowing Breeze
Flowing pleated spring dresses tied at the waist with string. I love the way a light breeze gives a little life to a spring dress. It reminds me that dresses are made for dancing in, that there’s something new around the corner, and that days should be filled with sun and laughter.
