Chicago heat has me desperate to be indoors. I’m always trying to find cool ways (literally) to play with my son without having either of us faint in this heat. The heat was never really an issue for me because I’d always have the option of staying indoors, but when you’ve got an active toddler, you have no choice, but to deal with the fire head on. So mommy’s please share tips on how to stay cool with your babes! I’ll be waiting.
Dress: I got this floral wrap dress from Forever21 a few years back. I’m not going to lie it took me forever to figure out wrap dresses. I just realized that the first time I wore it was definitely wrong, especially since I had to use a safety pin to keep it all together. Wrap dresses aren’t the safest bet, but if you tie it the right way and tight enough, you shouldn’t be too worried about pulling a Marilyn Monroe. I love the flowy cut of the dress and the delicate appearance it brings. I mainly bought this dress because it has sleeves and this cute cut, which I find it rare amongst Western dresses to have both. Get yourself a cute floral dress for the summer if you haven’t already, and try to get one that comes with sleeves because cardigans do really take the look away sometimes.
Shoes: I bought these red strap sandals by Report from Nordstrom Rack last summer. The best time to pull out red shoes is in the summer, and if you can find a pair of coral red shoes, buy them. They’ll never grow out of fashion.
Jewelry: I’m wearing my ultimate favorite name necklace by Nominal. It is the signature collection and use MARIAM15 to receive 15% off your purchase!
