Happy Monday, friends! With the Fourth of July just a little over a week away, I wanted to share a patriotic outfit idea that would be perfect for a BBQ. Not only is this ruffle dress super light and cool, I found the most perfect bag for any summer event. More on that below!
Before I get to the bag, let’s just talk about this cute dress first. This chambray shift has the most perfect ruffle details in the front and down the back. Not to mention the button-up the back style. It’s just too cute for words! As for accessories, I paired the dress with these studded sandals and of course the red lipstick for the holiday.
Now, on to this fun bamboo bag! You may have seen THIS bamboo bag all over the blog and social media world this spring and summer. I loved it the minute I saw it, but priced at $138, I hated to spend that much when it was a more trendy item that’s limited to a few months of the year. I was browsing Accessory Concierge‘s {they have the cutest accessories!} website a few weeks ago and stumbled upon THIS bag that’s practically a clone of the designer version. Can you believe this dupe is priced at under $100?! Definitely the perfect accessory for all your summer BBQs, picnics and even date nights.
I hope you all had a great weekend! You may remember that in Thursday’s post I mentioned there would be a new layout today. Well, let’s just say it’s a work in process. After spending the majority of the weekend on moving the site and working on the design, it wasn’t going to be ready for today so I just wanted to stick with the old design to get today’s post up. Hopefully the new site will be up and rolling soon. Fingers crossed! Have a great start to the week, friends!
This is the most perfect look for the 4th! I love the ruffle detail and of course, you are the QUEEN of the red lip! Can't wait to see the new site…hope it all goes well! Have a great week, Rachel!
I love that dress so much! It's so simple, but the ruffles really make it so special! Fingers crossed that the migration goes smoothly for you! I can't even imagine how stressful all of that is for you!
SUCH a gorgeous dress and I know exactly where these pictures were taken lol! Such a cute look for 4th of July!! Happy Monday!
You look so pretty, Rachel! Loving this fun and girly dress, perfect for the 4th of July. & your shoes…I'm obsessed! Hopefully you get things squared away with the new site, best of luck girl! xo, Lily Beauty With Lily
That is the cutest dress!! Madewell has been killing it lately. Great find on the bag!
Love this dress and those ruffles! This bag is seriously the cutest. The straw detail makes if perfect for summer. Blog designing is fun but also very time consuming. Hoping it all goes well!
I love this chambray dress! I loved the front, and then I saw the back pics, and I was like, OMG I NEED! LOL! And the bag is soo much better than spending over $100. And again, who will ever know? And more importantly, who would care! You look absolutely adorable! I am loving that accessory concierge– I had not heard of it before! xxoo Mary http://www.BelleOnTrend.com
What a cute outfit for the 4th! I love that dress and what a great dupe for the Cult version; I swear, you always find the BEST dupes! I agree, for more of a seasonal piece that's trendy, it's best to go for a cheaper alternative. Thanks so much for sharing, beauty, and I hope you're having a great start to your week so far!
