Summer layers done easy in a maxi dress and crop top.
Here’s where I’m at re: getting dressed (and not just putting on a clean pair of jammies). I’m looking for comfort, nothing too tight (max volume is really the name of the game), and some saturated summery colors to break up all those neutrals I’ve been loving. This orange maxi dress is checking all those boxes.
I love the tiered + asymmetrical hemline– it creates some pretty movement and really ups the breeze factor of the dress. Because it’s not full-stop summer just yet (KC is having a bit of a cooler May), I layered a basic white crop top under. 90s vibes, a little coverage, more warmth, all wins. I went with a flat sandal (scored this pair in a boutique in Greece a few years back, but these are a killer dupe).
Shop the look:
All the volume in this orange maxi dress makes accessorizing unnecessary; I kept it all paired down and let that linen do its thing. This dress is mega comfy but doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard. And this color! Such a summer jam. It’ll be so pretty with a (faux) tan, thrown over the top of a swimsuit.
How was your Memorial Day weekend? I’m really reeling how quickly May flew by. It’s the unofficial start of summer, guys! This is usually such an exciting time, but things are still very strange with COVID-19 being a now ever-present factor we all have to consider.
I’ve been working from home since mid-March and we’re not due back in the office until (at least) early July. Even though our state + county began opening up select businesses and services a few weeks ago, we’ve still been staying at home to wait and see our area responds to lifting the shelter-in-place order.
No big barbecues, no trips to the lake, no massive gatherings of friends and family– summer definitely looks different this year. I’ll just be over here in breezy dresses, drinking lots of rose on the deck, and Zooming my pals for happy hours.

I love that you layered this with a shirt! I don’t like wearing sleeveless anything, so this is a great ensemble for me!
That dress is so gorgeous! It gives me such Mamma Mia vibes too!

Ashley, this dress is freaking fabulous! I love the color and the 90’s vibe and those adorable sandals. I plan on spending lots of time hanging in my back yard this summer as well wearing easy comfortable clothes! Thanks for linking up.

Well, this is adorable! I would totally wear this for Cocktails on the Beach this summer…and by “on the beach” I might mean “in my car in the beach parking lot,” but, whatever.
Look at those fringy edges! Love!
This soft orange color is beautiful on you!

This is such a fun color for summer! And I love the shape and easiness of this dress – it looks so cute and comfy. I’m also loving those metallic sandals! Memorial Day weekend did feel kind of weird but I took advantage of the day off by hiking in the mountains rather than going to the lake.
Miles of smiles,

So easy breezy, Ashley! Perfect style to sit on your deck sip yummy drinks, and have virtual HHs. I really dig the color and loose fit of the dress. 🙂
