Summer Dresses In Style

summer dresses

Summer Dresses. You know that store that you always walk by. The window display always looks great, you slow down to take a look but somehow you never go in.  Well I have a store like that called, Blushing Boutique.  I’ve been by probably a hundred times but I never walked through the door until very recently. After being there for a few minutes, I realized why I had never ventured inside. It was probably because somehow deep inside, I knew that I’d have to buy one of everything in there.

They have some of the best summer dresses and the moment I saw this dress I fell in love. The shape is so classic, nipped in at the waist with a flirty skirt, and I can wear it dressed up or down. Also, I’m sure that navy and white polka dots is a print that I’ll love just as much next year as I do right now.

summer dresses

The absolute best part of this dress? What made me fall in love with it even more than I did at first glance? Well…… You can wear it four different ways. Yes, that’s right. Backward and forward, inside and out.  So now I have a navy polka dot dress with either a scoop neck or a low back and I have a fuchsia dress with either a scoop neck or a low back. I’m absolutely giddy with excitement over the hundreds of ways I can accessories it! I can dress it up with with heels and an evening bag, maybe something with a vintage feel.  Or, I can dress it down with some sandals and a great hat. I can’t wait to see what you guys think of my styling.

I’d like to pass a part of  list  of  things Blushing Boutique loves about the fun and fabulous women they see in their store everyday to all of you:

1)      Your insistence on getting your friends to realize how beautiful they are.

2)      That you represent women of style and substance.

3)      That you care about locally made products.

4)      Your loyalty.

5)      Your fun loving attitudes.

6)      How friendly you are.

7)     Your excitement for each new season designs.

8)     You inspire us to keep creating.

    And I was like “nice!” Having one dress without my friends saying “hey did you wear that the other day?” great find! Hugs and kisses from miss jHENZ 🙂

  2. Lovely dress!!! Great idea!!!!!
    Have a nice day Caroline!!!

    1. Thanks! I’m so excited about it.

  3. What a great find. A beautiful dress and LOVE that it can be worn four different ways.

    x Kirsty

  4. Caroline, it is amazing, i am loving the 2 sides thing. personally i like how it looks on the navy side with that hint of pink underneath. And the polka dot prints as u say will always be in style. Love that it’s flirty and easy to style to any look, mood and occasion. Great post Caroline xoxo

    1. Oh thank you so much! Coming from you that means so much to me. I’m definitely leaning to the polka dots as well but then again that pink can be really fun for a night out!

  5. I love the fact that the dress has both a print and a solid color option – so pretty and functional. And, you can mix it up even more by swapping out a different belt!!
