there’s nothing like a burst of color to brighten your mood. and this geo-printed dress is an explosion of color certain to bring a smile to your face. the fit is figure flattering for all body types plus it’s lined with a navy blue slip. and the fabric? it’s light and airy and perfect all summer long. today, i’ve added a pair of orange sandals that many of you remember from last year (i had a crush on them for several months) and a cute wicker handbag trimmed in pink. but the great thing about this dress is that it would look fab with yellow shoes, or blue, pink or white. the same holds true with accessories. now that’s what i call versatile. and the key to keeping your wardrobe fresh and modern.
happy hump day!

Gorgeous colors! Definitely looks like a cool dress to wear on a summer day. xoxo
you hit the nail on the head, donna! perfect dress for the dog days of summer.

Beautiful mix of colors in that dress. It looks marvelous on you. And it does look comfy, too–high marks for that in my book.Hope you’re staying cool–we have started hitting 90’s here and I imagine it’s the same where you are.
i just fell in love with the bright colors and fun print on this dress. perfect for a hot summer day. and there are plenty of those ahead of us.

What a colorful dress! It must make you happy just to put it on! Always accessorized just beautifully.
it’s a happy print to be certain, sharon! and i love a looser fit when those temps heat up here in georgia.

The colors on this dress are fabulous Beth, however I honestly think the fit is not very flattering. You are in superb shape and always look amazing but the cut of the dress does nothing for you. I LOVE the bag and its so on trend ! Its just fab when we can grab something that we have in the closet because we like it and suddenly its a “hot item”. Hugs.
sometimes, it’s wonderful to have a dress especially during the summer months that has a loose fit. this is perfect for hot temps, lorena, when you just don’t want anything touching your body.

What a fun look, Beth! I love the color combos.
hey, miss susan! i missed this one. love a cheerful patterned dress. especially on a hot day.
