Hi LOVEs!
I really appreciate the super lovely weather. It looks like it's already summer, which I love so much! As the temperature gets higher, I get to enjoy wearing more dresses because; 1) it's super comfy and 2) effortless to add a feminine touch. This blue striped casual dress is definitely a fun piece, but I thought it would be cuter if I spiced it up a little bit. So I paired it with a chambray shirt as a jacket, a boater hat for a spring/summer vibe. This hat has been my go-to hat every spring and summer. I still love wearing fedoras and floppy hats, but boater hats seem more like seasonally appropriate pieces that you can easily create a summer-perfect look with. I decided to go for black platform sandals so that the stripe print pops more.

Speaking of the location where I shot this look... I came to Discovery Park and it's absolutely one of my favorite places in Seattle. It's breathtakingly beautiful and there is lots of green. The air is so refreshing which relaxes me so much!! I was there for about an hour, but you have no idea how much I felt revived! I wanna come back again for a weekend picnic or just enjoy the view, forgetting all about social media! :P

Happy Friday dolls!
