Summer is officially winding down, but that doesn’t mean that summer temps are winding down! My neck of the woods is going to be in the high 90s all week long, and next week it looks like it’s going to reach 100 again… so needless to say there’s still plenty of time to grab and wear some cute dresses.
Today I’ve got a round-up of some of my favorite dresses that are still available…
I’m in love with this dress. 5 SOLID STARS.
The sweet bluebonnet pattern, the tie waist, the ruffle collar, and the covered buttons are all fabulous. It’s 100% cotton, lightweight, flattering and so easy to wear. It’s not lined, so some of you might want to wear a 1/2 slip with it, but I think I’m good without a slip. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I think you can size down if between sizes in this one.

This dress is a lightweight linen blend, fits great, and is fully lined. I really love the neckline because it allows you to show off a necklace, and the subtle puff sleeves add interest without being too overwhelming. The little tie belt adds some nice definition at the waist, and the buttons going all the way down the front are lovely. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

This dress is just plain cute. The floral pattern is so playful, and I’m in love with the vibrant colors. It’s kind of like a paisley floral, and it’s adorable. The little tie at the waist can be cinched in, creating a nice waistline. It has pockets and fully functional buttons all the way up and down. I love the subtle puff sleeves, the waistline, the soft gathers from the waist down, and the length. It’s just a great little dress. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
I think it would also be great worn super casually with sneakers and a denim jacket or even with a cardi thrown over the shoulders.

This floral cotton dress is a little less basic than the one above, and a whole lot more flirty. 😉 The floral pattern is bold and the double ruffle sleeves with the loop trim are adorable. The blue, green, and white color combo is punchy and fun. I’m wearing a medium in this one too, but it’s quite a bit smaller on me than the dress above. This one would be great for a shower or party, and it is totally vacay ready too.

I’m sad because the stock on this baby is low, and it’s so fun. I wish more of you would have the chance to grab it. The pink and orange pattern screams summer and looks great with a tan. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Okay. So I love this dress. It’s adorable. It’s darling. It’s all the things.
It’s 100% cotton with lots of great little details. The cute little ruffle on the skirt, the pleated ruffle on the collar, and the flouncy sleeves are precious. And we haven’t even talked about the pattern with the palm trees, the flowers, and the tropical birds! And although this vibrant blue immediately called to me, it also comes in a green and white and a pink and orange. To be honest, I can’t believe I didn’t go for the pink and orange. Maybe I still should? For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

Sadly the black version of this dress sold out immediately, but the white option is still available. You can see on the site that the white dress highlights the pretty details of the dress much better than the black. It’s got a lacey square neck as well as lace trim tiered down the skirt. It also has small puff sleeves and a straight fit. It’s an organic cotton with just a tiny bit of stretch to it.
The site says the dress runs small, but I got my regular size medium and am happy I did.
square neck dress / olive and turquoise mini Jane necklace / gold bracelet stack / multicolor bracelet set / clear wedges
If you prefer a dress with a more swingy fit, I think you’ll love this option. It’s a cotton gauze with a flowy fit and a tiered skirt. I’m wearing the ivory pink blossom, but it also comes in a solid navy. For size reference, I’m wearing a small. I sized down because the bottom seemed like a lot of fabric, but I will say that the small is tight across the chest. I actually think a medium would be better for me in the chest, but I definitely needed a small for the lower half.
dress / turquoise heart necklace / multicolor bracelet set / clear wedges
Okay, y’all. This dress is fabulous, and it’s flying off the shelves. I’m in love with it.
The colors! The pattern! The wide rick rack trim! The belted waist! It’s all soooooooo good!
And while totally modern, it also has a bit of a vintage vibe to it. Think Sound of Music in the best possible way.
I really do love it.
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
pink floral belted dress /mini Jane necklace / multicolor bracelet set / raffia buckle sandals ON SALE
Fresh, feminine, and an unexpected purple and red color palette. I like the graphic pattern, the split neck, the subtle puff sleeves, and the tiered skirt. This is a little longer than I would typically like, but I’m only 5’4″, so that’s good news for you taller ladies. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
tiered dress / mini Jane necklace / multicolor bracelet set / raffia buckle sandals ON SALE
This fun dress is actually a punchy pink and orange that is very bright and happy in real life! It’s 100% cotton and lined with a split neck and subtle puff sleeves. The eyelet embroidery work is so pretty and could definitely pass for a $250 Tuckernuck dress. It was an instant favorite for me, and I think it looks great with the turquoise heart necklace. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
It also comes in navy/white and blue/Kelly green. All colorways are great!

This is another dress that just slips over your head and is so easy to wear. (Y’all know I prefer my dresses to not have zippers.) It’s a cute pink floral on a green background, it’s very lightweight, and the flutter sleeves and short hemline make it a little bit flirty. Again, the pictures make the colors appear muted, but they aren’t in real life. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
floral dress / turquoise heart necklace / multicolor bracelet set / gold bracelet stack / tan raffia sandals
This white floral dress has a bright white background and a pretty paisley floral pattern all over. It’s got a split neck, an elastic waist you can cinch in, and a little hot pink rick rack trim on the hem. It’s a really fun dress! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

The color was what first drew me to this dress, but to be honest I love everything about it. The stand-up collar, the subtle puff sleeves, the belted waist, the braided trim details, and the tiered skirt are all fabulous. This dress will be great for all different sorts of occasions, and I know I will be wearing the heck out of it all spring and summer. For size reference, I’m in a medium.
belted dress / multicolor earrings / multicolor bracelet set / gold bracelet stack / clear wedges
Y’all. This dress is fabulous. I love everything about it. The color combo, the ribbon accent, the neckline, the puff sleeves, the overall fit. It’s just a really great dress. I highly recommend this one! For size reference, I’m wearing a small.
green and blue floral dress / raffia floral earrings / mini Jane necklace / turquoise heart necklace / clear wedges
I’m totally smitten with this shirt dress. It’s a super relaxed fit and is very forgiving, but the shirt dress styling really elevates it. And I think everybody knows I’m a sucker for a vibrant red, and this red totally hits the mark for me. I love red paired with turquoise, so I grabbed my chunky turquoise heart necklace. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

LADIES! Right now this dress is ONLY $36 right now (regularly $128)! It also comes in a blue and white stripe and a pink and green floral.
It is lightweight, breathable, comfortable, flattering, and so stylish! I love the split neck and the flouncy hem. It’s just a great dress for so many different types of occasions. For size reference, I’m wearing a regular size 6. If you’re between sizes, I think you can size down.
Y’all know I like things short, so I’m kind of wondering if I’d like the petite length better.

These next two outfits are actually made out of separates, but they pretty much look like dresses when worn together, so they get a spot in today’s dress round-up!
Not only is the blouse a lovely floral pattern in a pretty blue and white combo, but you also get a stand-up ruffle collar with the ruffle continuing halfway down the blouse. The sleeves have a great ruffle too. It’s a cotton blend and it’s super lightweight. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium in the top.
The skirt is fabulous too! It’s pretty much my idea of what a perfect summer skirt should be. It’s got a drawstring waist, so it’s super comfortable, but I like how you can cinch it in if you want. The material is lightweight and flowy, so it’s definitely an easy breezy piece. It’s lined (which I love), and the pockets are an added bonus. I also love how it’s tiered, flouncy, and a little bit flirty. For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the skirt (which is often true to size for me in pieces with an elastic waist).
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS LOOK AS A MATCHING SET.

Here’s the exact set from above… but now you’re seeing it in classic black for a totally different look.
I really do love the blue floral, but my goodness I love the black too.

Last year I purchased and wore the heck out of a white dress from Treasure and Bond. I bought it in black too, and I was low key hoping they would just bring it back this year because it’s SO GOOD, and I wanted everybody to have a chance to grab it if they hadn’t already.
Well, it hasn’t come back yet, but this white eyelet dress is pretty fabulous too. LOOK AT THE DETAILS! The covered buttons, the tiny pleated ruffle neck, the scalloped edge sleeves, the inverted v waist, the all over embroidery… everything is truly beautiful. It zips up the side, but I was able to just slip it over my head (which I prefer). I’m wearing a size 8 which is pretty typical for me in a dress.

MY NUTRAFOL JOURNEY SO FAR (AND A CODE)!
Okay. Full transparency. My Nutrafol journey so far has been a bumpy one.
Y’all know I first started using it back in May, but I only used it for about a month (which is not enough time to show any real growth). I didn’t stop using it because I’d given up or anything, it’s just that I was having a surgical procedure done (you don’t want to know) and wanted everything out of my system before going under.
So I stopped taking it about 2 weeks before the surgery, and then it was probably another 2 weeks after the surgery before I started taking it again. So I had about a 4 week gap.
I’m officially about a month in again, and although they say you have to take it for a full 3 months before you fully start seeing the benefits, I can definitely say that I have new growth! And how do I know that I have new growth? SO GLAD YOU ASKED. The answer is simple. I have lots of new hairs THAT JUST HAPPEN TO BE GREY that are popping up all over the place now. So yeah, it appears that my new growth is grey. Cool. But let’s not focus on the grey part, let’s focus on the ALL THE NEW GROWH part!!!
Nutrafol has a special going on right now. If you use the links below, they will give you $50 off 3 months or $106 off 6 months. So up to $106 off depending on what package you decide on!

For anyone not familiar, Nutrafol is a hair wellness supplement that’s designed to target thinning hair from multiple angles like stress, hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle. And because of my advanced age (did you hear me yelp when I said that?), I went with the Women’s Balance formula made for women 45+.
This was on the side of the box, and I wanted to stand up and clap when I read it.
Because this thinning hair stuff, IT IS NO FUN. I want to keep feeling like me! And I want my hair to keep looking like my hair!
Is this expensive? Yes. It is a commitment? Yes. But am I going to do it anyway? YES.
It basically comes down to this…
My hair health and appearance is important to helping me feel like me, so I’m willing to put forth some effort to support it.
Here’s a peek at the ingredients…
I’m no doctor (obviously), so you might want to consult with your doctor to make sure if you’re already taking other supplements that this isn’t going to end up giving you too much Vitamin D or something like that. I mean, you might get to stop taking other things because this might be enough? I have no idea (obviously), just throwing that out there.
I do appreciate that the ingredients are more wellness-focused than medication-focused. The formula includes things like ashwagandha, marine collagen, vitamins, and botanicals meant to support overall hair health.
Now here’s the kicker, not only are there 4 pills a day, but it takes at least 3 months to start seeing results. If I wouldn’t have stopped taking it because of my surgery, I would be starting to approach the 3 month mark, but like I said before I’m already seeing new growth! (Please continue to pay no attention to the fact that lots of these new hairs are coming in grey.) 😉
Again, I’m taking the Women’s Balance (due to my advanced age), but there are other formulas!

Right now, I’m just committing to my part in this: I’m finally actively try to do something to help this issue/problem, rather than just sitting back and watching it happen (and complaining about it). And I’m proud of myself for making the decision to be more intentional about taking care of my hair!!!
I’ll of course keep y’all updated as I’m further into the journey, but I just wanted to make sure y’all knew about the special they’re running right now. As a reminder, the links above will give you $50 off 3 months or $106 off 6 months!

That’s all for today, y’all! See you back here on Wednesday for What’s Up Wednesday!
