The Only Denim You Need for Summer
Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you had a wonderful weekend where you are. And I hope the temps are cooling just a bit as we head into the last leg of Summer. Today, we're talking the only denim you need for summer.
If temperatures near you are anything like they are here, denim is probably the last thing you're reaching for when you're getting ready. Not so fast. You can in fact wear denim 365 days a year, especially if you invest in a quality denim dress.
We all know denim dresses are perfect for transition weather. But they also work great during the summer months. And what I love most about denim dresses is how easy they are to dress up or down simply by your choice in accessories. Swapping out your footwear alone can change the nature of your aesthetic. But don't be afraid to belt the dress for a more put-together look.
The Summary
Today, I'm featuring a denim dress from Ralph Lauren I've featured for 5 straight years
The dress is modeled, and I pulled together 2 alternates

The Only Denim You Need For Summer
1. Denim Cotton Shift Dress
(Ralph Lauren)
This denim dress has been on style repeat for five years running. Don’t worry it’s still available. Ralph Lauren makes several classic items that stay in-stock year after year.
This is a good reminder, too, that if you invest in quality pieces---even if they're a bit pricey upfront---they will last you multiple seasons and years. Whether you want to call this "slow fashion" or "sustainable fashion", a few key investments go a long, long way.

3. Printed Retro Runner Sneakers
(Rag & Bone)
In the past, I’ve worn this dress with espadrilles, block heel booties, and now a pair of on-trend sneakers this year. Like I said, denim dresses are perfectly flexible and their aesthetic changes simply by swapping out your accessories.

In Case You Missed It
Yesterday, I did a deep dive into the Talbots pre-fall collection. Click the title or image below to read the article.
LO vE the denim dress outfit. All of it looks great. Best yet!
Great outfit! Love the dress and the bag, think I need to buy both!
I love the dress but I wish it came in petite sizes.
Great dress…I bought it when you first featured it a few years ago and I agree it’s a classic that doesn’t date. I’m shorter than you so it hits at my knee. I wear it with my Ecco zip sneakers or casual sandals and always feel comfortable and appropriately dressed.
