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.

Now, that’s a blush babe if I ever d id see one!!! LOVE that sweet lil dress!
Haha, thanks sista! Happy Hump Day!
The low neck line on wrap dresses always causes me problems – this is a pretty good solution, and it’s a really cute dress so I’m glad you were able to find a way to wear it that works.

I know- this is the reason I avoid a true wrap dress at the office! Haha.
As a shorty I often have to wear clever under garmets to hid my bras. I love your solution – so pretty! Lovely girly look! xx
Thanks, Maria! This bralette came to the rescue!
We are still full blown summer over here too 🙁 But lucky for us, we can still wear super cute dresses like this one for the next few weeks! Love that necklace too!

You look absolutely fabulous in this Ashley!!

Thank you, Natasha!
What a perfect way to say goodbye to summers, huh! 🙂
You look absolutely perfect in this pretty pink polka dot dress, Ash. Have a great week ahead!
xoxo
Thanks so much, babe!
What a cute dress! I love that you layered a bralette under, the color does match well and much better than the double tape for this heat! Blush is definitely your shade, you look beautiful! Thanks for sharing and have a great day, girl!

I will avoid that double-sided tape at all costs! 🙂 I love blush, too- it’s such a fun shade to wear! Thanks, lady!
It’s still in the 90s where I live and last year it stayed hot up until late October. The mornings are cooler which I appreciate and love so keeping my excitement for Autumn at bay until it truly comes! This is a beautiful dress and such a pretty color!

Yes- I am particularly fond of that time when the mornings + evenings are cool, but it’s still pretty warm during the day! Thanks for swinging by, Maureen!
Oh very great picks darling
xx
Thanks!
I totally hoard clothes too! And brilliant with the bralette. Its so cute, plus so much more comfy than that tape! It would be sweet with a white one under too.

Yes- that tape never really works for me, anyway- I always managed to screw it up, haha. 🙂
I love wrap dresses but agree they can often plunge too deep for modesty! I often just resort to the old safety pin, but the matching bralette looks really cute.

Safety pin to the rescue! Great trick. 🙂 Happy Wednesday, gf!

Thanks, Melanie!
I’m the same way! I’d buy a dress beginning of the summer and somehow its end of the summer and I haven’t worn it yet. Totally taking advantage of the warm weather to wear all my summer clothes! And this blush polka dot dress is so cute! The wrap style is so flattering!
http://www.rdsobsessions.com
I just get SO EXCITED when warm weather hits that I end up buying more summer dresses than I need! Haha!
Loving this dress on you! The color and subtle polka dots are so great. I am ready for those cooler nights. These 90 degree days can go anytime now!

I am still super gaga over all things blush, that’s for sure!
This dress is so perfect for so many occasions!! Absolutely love it and hello the color is perfect!
I am still super obsessed with blush! 🙂
This is such a cute and flirty dress! The color and the polk dot sealed the deal lol! you look amazing!

Flirty is definitely the best word to describe it! 🙂
That dress is seriously my favorite one of yours, how adorable can it be? It’s just perfection from the choice of color to the subtle print and the stylish cut of the dress. Ahh it fits you so well! Xx

Thank you so much- I thought it was pretty cute, too! And time to wear it, since summer is waning!
Lovely dress and YOU!

Thank you, Anastasia! Happy Wednesday!
Cute dress. Bralette to the rescue. Nice shoes. Like your area, it’ll stay warm here for at least another month. I’m hoping to squeeze another camping trip in this month.
Yes- book all those outdoor activities now before it gets too cold! I’m hoping that once fall DOES get here, it stays around and doesn’t bleed right into winter too fast!
What a beautiful dress to continue to wear! Love the dots and the color. Yes, it will be hot for a while, so let’s keep summer alive !

Keep summer alive should totally be a t-shirt slogan! 🙂
This is such a cute dress! I love the polka dots and am still wearing dresses here too! It warms up pretty good in the day!

We’ll see how this Midwest fall progresses, but I’m hoping for a nice, long fall- I hate it when it gets too cold too fast!
I cannot believe summer is almost over. I love this dress on you.
Thanks so much, Nerline!
Blush looks great on you! The Bay Area will stay in the 70-80 until October so summer is still jamming in Northern California as well. Wrap dresses always look great on me, they hug my curves in all the right places.

Thanks so much, Mary! And yes, you Californians get that prolonged summer life! 🙂
I adore this dress!!! Love the polka dots and blush color!!

Such a girly little number, right? It was too cute to resist!
I love a good wrap dress & in that color-stunning! In Alabama, we usually have Summer until mid-October at the earliest, so I’m not getting in any rush for Fall fashion either!

I know- all my Southern friends are like, “Lol, at least 2 more months of warm weather, guyssss!” 😉
Such a cute little polka dot dress! It’s good you still have more warm weather and time to wear it! 🙂
I hope that you are having a nice start to your week so far! It’s a little colder here after a warm weekend but the rain is welcome 🙂

Thanks so much, Mica! We’ll be warm for a few more weeks at least, I think. 🙂
Such a cute dress you wear! I love a subtle hint of lace, a good bralette is a must for me! xx

Thank so much, sis! Happy Hump Dayyyyyyy!
I’m not ready to send summer off just yet either, and this dress is perfection for the transition! Such a pretty color <3

I am still wearing alllll the summer things until this heat breaks, haha! 🙂
Such a cute dress. I’m in the same boat weather wise. Still hitting 90 here and humid.
The humidity is what’s really killing- you just walk outside and the air is HEAVY! I love summer so much- but fall will be a breath of fresh air. 🙂
This is such a sweet little pink polka dot dress on you darling – you’re so pretty!

You look very sexy and fancy in this pink shade.

At first glance I didn’t realize it was polka dot.
I love its style

This color is BEAUTIFUL Ashley! The bralette with the wrap dress is such a great idea. I am always tugging to make sure I’m covered up.

Yes- that is my top complaint about wrap dresses, haha. But this bralette to the rescue! 🙂

you look absolutely stunning!! the color is so calming and I am looking for such a dress in that color for long time. LOVE it x
have a wonderful day!
You look amazing. I love the blush coloured dress. Surplice wraps usually are my favourite because they are flattering but I always somehow have to wear an under tank. This is adorable.
