In the Summertime, there is nothing quite like a sundress! I mean let’s face it, when the temperatures (and for some of us the humidity) start to reach new heights, the layers come off! Having lived in Arizona for 6 years, I have come to learn there is an art form of strategic dressing to avoid breaking into a sweat, literally.

Since there are days where I cannot roll around in denim cutoffs, I have had to broaden my horizons a little–enter the sundress. I used to see dresses as pretty one-dimensional but have begun to explore different ways to style them outside of my comfort zone. This dress from H&M was only $12.99 and is the perfect shade of cream, since it is a solid neutral color it pretty much acts as a blank canvas and can take on a feminine, boho-casual and even a dressier vibe depending upon accessories.

The best thing about a less-is-more piece like this is that you can literally throw it on in a moments notice and it looks just as great on its own! It makes the perfect Sunday beach coverup, because it can still take you to brunch after you hit the sand without looking like you forgot your clothes.

Now that summer is in full swing that means vacations are being taken! Sundresses are such a great packing item because they don’t take up much room in your suitcase, and you can layer over them to change your look, or in case you run into some cooler weather!

Speaking of vacations…its #wanderlustwednesday, any fun plans this summer?
