Ruffled Dress (It’s available here, too. It runs small. I went up two sizes and it’s perfect.) / J.Crew Sandals (On sale. Also available here. They’re so comfy that I’m considering getting them in black, too.) / Tuckernuck Clutch c/o (It’s only $35, and it ships free!) / Gold Lantern Earrings (Lightest earrings I own. Can’t recommend them more!)

I’m crazy with this dress, which I wore to dinner last night with Tara, one of my best girlfriends from college who was in Chicago for a conference. I ordered it the moment I spotted it on Nordstrom, and then it promptly sold out. But it was just restocked late last night, so definitely swoop it up before it goes out of stock again! It’s perfect. It’s made out of this wonderful t-shirt material, which keeps me cool during the day yet warmer at night when the temps drop. It’s also so flattering. Maybe it’s the placement of the ruffles, the print, or simply how the material hangs, but it’s exactly how I want all my dresses to fit… and I’m 100-percent wearing it in Ocean City next week, since it’s perfect for Fourth of July celebrations. (It’s available in navy here, too!)

The one thing I’ll say is that it DOES run small. I went up two full sizes, and as you can see from the photos, it’s not loose. But remember: every company has its own sizing system, and a silly number does NOT define you. (Boden is a British company, btw.) Order up, and don’t think twice about it!
