Swing dress

I'm happy to see some of July's heat clinging to August; so often we lose our warm nights just as soon as we got them. Plus I still have lots of dresses to cycle through. This swing dress is a favorite to pull on during the heat of the summer; thin silk, cute neutral print, not clingy. I picked it up at TJMaxx a few years ago, altered it ever so slightly, and haven't wavered in my adoration for it. It's by Joie, and was one of those pieces that I originally spotted on another blogger, and only by some serendipitous chance did it cross my path. Of course I believe in serendipity, when it comes to clothes.

  2. This dress is a beauty - and so much the better that you found it discounted at TJ Maxx, because while I love Joie, I find it really hard to justify their regular price point. Although of course I could be swayed if I were to stumble upon a beautiful silk dress like this one, it just looks so perfectly easy to throw on and go but totally put together once you add a purse and shoes, which is how all summer dresses should be.

  8. I love that dress--it really does look perfect for hot summer weather. We are back to the hot, muggy weather today and I made the mistake of wearing jeans. I'd much rather wear something like that!

  11. I think the swing dress is the perfect hot weather item!!
    I love this print (and the best thing is you can't see wrinkles in the prints as easily!)
    And who doesn't believe in serendipity?
