Blush Pink Polka Dot Dress.

A new blush pink polka dot dress to send off summer.

How was your Labor Day weekend? The unofficial end of the summer season, but don’t worry, summer fashion fans. I’m not really sending off summer– at least not yet. Kansas City will inevitably be in the 80s and 90s until at least the end of September, so I’ll still be rocking summer pieces for another month or so. This blush pink polka dot dress was an early summer purchase I never got around to wearing– does this happen to everyone, or is this just an Ashley is a Clothes-hoarder issue? (Find similar versions of this pink number here and here.)

As is the case with many a wrap dress, this one has a super low neckline. This can make wearing it a bit tough unless you tape yourself into the dress (which I am not down for in the August humidity, thanks very much). I layered a bralette underneath; the colors matched close enough that it almost looked like it was part of the dress and no one saw my nipples.

Those versatile nude sandals from a few weeks ago and some shiny gold pieces finished the look. My exact necklace is currently sold out, but you can get the same vibe with this one or this one. And these exact bracelets are available here and here; such cool pieces to add to your accessory repertoire.

Shop the look:

Is it already fall where you live? I know my pals up north are starting to dig into sweaters as the evenings cool off, but my southern friends are still in full-blown Summer Mode. The Midwest gets a taste of both: summer weather will stick around until the end of September, but we’ll get a few cold fronts that’ll put our morning temps in the 60s here and there– just enough of a tease to make a PSL Starbuck’s run justifiable.
