Starting Summer with a Colorful Maxi Dress

Summer has (unofficially) started and I’m kicking it off with this colorful maxi dress. It’s already heating up here in Washington DC which means I’m all in on lightweight outfits for summer. I love a maxi dress that’s versatile enough to be styled many different ways and this tropical print dress certainly fits the bill.

Moving during a pandemic is for sure a different experience, but I’m so thankful things have worked out and for this new chapter.

Why I Wear a Mask + Fun Face Masks for You

It’s hard to believe we are halfway through the year and have been living under pandemic restrictions for four months now.  With so much about coronavirus still being unknown, I’ve leaned towards being more cautious.  I wear a mask when I’m inside stores or can’t maintain distance from others in outdoor spaces, have mostly avoided gatherings with those I don’t live with, and plan to continue doing so.

Is my summer blogging schedule my best schedule? TBD.  I’m showing a striped sweater two ways for now and later.  Full transparency, the last couple weeks it felt a little frivolous for me to talk about clothes, makeup, love lessons from the Bachelorette, etc. when we’ve seen two mass shootings.
