Effortless Summer style is just that, easy, but still chic. For me, I have to stay cool in whatever I wear, otherwise I will not look or feel fabulous. Instead I will look like a harried, melting, cranky mom. That is just not a good look. Trust me, I've tried it, it's not flattering! With that being said, my day look is almost always a simple cotton knit dress, a big bag, gold bracelets and flat sandals. I can easily wear this look day to night by simply changing my sandals and handbag. Chanel is my absolute go to for my evening handbag, a simple flap will always be a classic bag that will last forever.
Simple cotton dresses can be found and just about any price point. I have a few from Forever 21, that I bought a few years ago at $12.50 a piece. They are still in my Summer wardrobe rotation and still look great! Usually I just buy solid colors, I know, sounds boring, but it is so much easier to look chic.
These dresses from J.Crew and Lulu's are just perfect with Steve Madden flats or Jules High Heel Sandal -- and don't forget the Louis or Chanel!
