Dress (in xxl, plus size here), Shoes
Happy Friday night! As we head into August, all I want when it comes to summer style is to feel elevated and effortless. August is also on the hot side, so having a chic and classic dress that I can style for any occasion (or temperature) is key. With that being said, I don’t just opt for any dress. The dress has to be just as practical as it is cute and versatile. For me, that means the fabric is easy, the silhouette hits at all the right places, and it’s something that I can wear on-the-go! Enter, this incredibly dreamy white linen dress.
Tonight on Instagram tonight, I shared this adorable dress from Walmart, so I thought I’d give the scoop here as well. I’ve been wearing a ton of midi/maxi dresses this season, so I was on the hunt for something knee length that would work with my figure. When I was perusing Walmart fashion, I was so impressed by their size-inclusive assortment – tons of chic and affordable pieces for effortless summer style in regular and plus. I saw this dress from Sofia Jeans and immediately knew it would check off all my boxes! Classic, feminine, elevated and curve-friendly.
When I put on the dress, before I could even look in the mirror, I already loved it. First of all, I am obsessed with the details. This dress is insanely comfortable and easy to wear, yet the details make it something really special. The buttons and tie knot completely elevate things, giving a little something extra to the solid white linen. Also, the buttons are functional but don’t gape (round of applause) and the straps and tie knot are completely adjustable. This dress also comes in a pretty yellow color that would transition well into Fall.
The fit here is fantastic. I would say this dress generally runs true to size, but if you’re in-between size down. For reference, I am in the XXL. The back of the dress is smocked, which we love, because it creates such a great, tailored fit. The waistline and a-line skirt work so nicely together to create a feminine and flattering feel. The quality is also great, I really could not love this more. I styled mine with these cute woven raffia block heels by Scoop that I also snagged from Walmart that are super walkable. Layer it with a denim jacket and flats heading into September, or wear it with a hat and sandals to the beach. It’s so comfortable, cute and versatile.
