Kicking off Summer in the Jamie -

Tuckernuck Jamie Dress (c/o), Red Tassel Earrings (c/o)

Happy first day of summer! Summer is beginning to blossom, and with our shelter-in-place order lifted, New Jersey is starting to regain its vibrancy and sense of community (safely). I am continuing to take extra precautions when I’m on the move, wearing a mask and gloves and socially distancing myself from others, but it feels so nice to see some businesses open in town. It is giving me a newfound sense of hope and happiness, hope of being outside and enjoying my favorite season… SUMMER!

I was talking to a friend about how this summer is the summer of the dress. Just easy dresses that flow and flatter for everyday, that can go from days at home, to life outside on those breezy summer nights. The Tuckernuck Jamie dress is. that. dress. If this dress looks a little familiar, it’s because I have it in two other patterns and cannot get enough of it (I’ve styled it here and here)! When Tuckernuck released the Jamie in a blue and white stripe with ric rac trim, I knew it was going to be the hero piece of my summer wardrobe. Perfect for lobster season, I can wear this comfortably inside, for evenings on the covered porch, and if we head to the bay for a day by the water.

The Jamie is by far and away my favorite dress silhouette that I have found in some time. Everything from the shape of the dress to the way it flows makes it perfect for curves. I love how Tuckernuck mastered the mix of a caftan-like style with an a-line silhouette, to give that flowy feel while still being able to flatter and make you feel feminine. Overall, the inherent nature of the style is roomier, so if you are in-between sizes or are petite, size down one. But I find that for my curves, that my true size is perfect. It is nicely fitted in the chest, neck and arms, accentuating and working with my body.

I wear the XXL in this particular style, and if you need any help on sizing, you can check out my Curvy Guide to Tuckernuck. Needless to say, this will for sure be the summer of the (Jamie) dress.
