Simple Summer

Back in the spring, all I wanted was a summer dress that mimicked the grown up boho/beachy look that I am so crazy about in home decor.  I just wanted to match our apartment a little bit?  I don’t have a dog or a kid, so this oddly makes the most sense.  I stumbled upon this h&m beauty via Instagram and just HAD to have it.  Yes, it’s really pretty, but turns out, it’s not quite what I’d wanted.  Now that I’m not in the moment of impulse purchase, I have browsed similar styles online that have the tassel tie detail and some who also have embroidery and I slightly regret things.  I think my biggest problem with this one I ended up with is how tight it is in the top on me and the fact that they opted for a puffy sleeve.  It makes me feel more like I’m on my way to yodel than to enjoy a summer’s day at the beach.  You live and you learn though, and this one is still cute, I just don’t think I’ll be wearing it as much as I’d hoped.  Lucky for you, I found improved versions of this dress online, which I’ve linked here below.  Sometimes, I need a reminder that just because a dress seemed to look great on IG, doesn’t mean it’s necessarily going to work for me!
