Breezy layers and some cool striped sandals.
The key to late spring outfitting in Kansas City: lightweight layers. You can add more if you need coverage/warmth, and peel ’em off once the afternoon warms up. Also a must-have right now: these striped sandals from Dolce Vita. I love the cool knotted striped fabric, the rounded rattan heel, and the height is perfect for all-day wear.
I’m back in olive green, tooβ how pretty is this floaty vest? I scored both this vest and dress at local KC fave, Kindred Shops. I’m in total spring + summer mode, so I’m looking for all the super cute rompers, dresses, and statement pieces that will round out that warm-weather wardrobe.
Shop the look:
What is everyone up to this weekend? My boyfriend and I have some yard work plannedβ the yearly mulch refresh in the various gardensβ and then I have a Beauty Brands appointment with Steph for a hair refresh. I can’t believe it’s Memorial Day weekend; the unofficial summer kick off. May absolutely flew by! We’ll be celebrating the 4th of July before we know it.

Isn’t it such a perfect color? I can’t get enough!
I love that vest, such a great piece to match with summer dresses! I’m hoping for a pretty chill weekend – for some reason this week has just seemed soooo long to me and I’m exhausted.

Thanks, lady! And right? May absolutely flew by!
Oh I absolutely love this vest, Ashley!! Too often I think olive pieces are heavier in material, like denim-style jackets or cargo pants. I love the refreshing softness of this particular vest. Look beautiful on you!

I know what you mean- I love that designers and retailers are making this color in more summer-friendly fabrics!
The whole look is perfect and I love your hair too!
Kisses, Paola.

Thank you, my friend!
Love this look! I am all about light layers all spring and summer long. I am always so cold everywhere I go, but then hot when I get outside. I can’t believe it is Memorial Day weekend either. It seems like May just started. Hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks, Vika!
Good for you for getting your yardwork and mulching done early! Somehow we always end up doing it in the July heat. Love that pretty dress on you and your darling sandals!
It’s going to be 90 degrees and super humid this weekend (lol, Midwest weather!), so it won’t FEEL like we’re doing something smart, but at least we’ll get it done and can relax after! π
I love the way you put this look together. I just adore everything olive green!
I’m suuuuch a fan of olive green, too!
Ah this is so cute! I love the vest and those sandals are seriously the best summer shoes!

Thanks, lady! I will be wearing these shoes on repeat this whole summer!
What a beautiful olive vest! It layers so nicely with your dress, and makes me want to wear my vest some more before winter weather arrives! π
Hope that you are having a great week so far! Almost the weekend! π

I really like the vest, I’ve never seen any other fashion blogger wearing anything like it yet, so your post is definitely original. Your glasses are great as well, I was looking for some new ones for myself, but couldn’t find any that would fit my style – yours do!
