I’m all about oranges, corals, and neons this summer. Can’t seem to get enough (as evidenced here and here, and oh yeah, here). Keeping with the theme, I picked this dress up at The Garment District a few weeks back. The super simple cut with a drawstring waist, floaty fabric that doesn’t cling (or wrinkle) in the heat, and a freshly-squeezed orange color make it easy to wear when the temperatures are spiking 90º+ in Kansas City. (Also, welcome back, big hair!)
To complete the look: a pair of strappy white sandals, my favorite necklace of all time, and a few bangles. I don’t know about you, but my heavy statement necklaces and stacks of bracelets get put on the back burner when it’s fry-an-egg-on-any-surface hot outside.
Kansas City girls, have you checked out KC Garment District? Great selection, much of which is totally reasonably priced (I think I paid $60 or so for the dress above, for example), and an awesome atmosphere (they have a BAR in the center). They’re at 13th and Main downtown; you should drop by!
Cheers to Thursday, ladies ‘n gents. Hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

Such a cute dress and in my opinion you can’t go wrong with the orange….my fav too!!
I love that you’ve been wearing these colors lately, because they look so fab on you! This wavy hair look you’ve been rocking is my favorite. It looks so effortless!
I love your big hair, LOL! It looks so beachy and full and gorgeous! 🙂

I NEED those white sandals, so so so chic! Also, girl you are rocking the hair, LOVE IT 🙂 seriously gorgeous!
Like what do I have to do to get those amazing locks, Ashley? Sell my soul? Deal with the devil? My hair in the humidity gets so frizzy, there’s no way I can ever wear it down! Any tips?
These bright colors look great with your skin tone! I’ve seen these heels in nude and black, but never white – so fresh 🙂

I love your dress! It is a beautiful color. I also love orange, coral, and the neons. Lately I am seeing so many coral items that I would love to own.

The coral and orange family is definitely your color family. You look awesome in these shades from neon to orange! Gorgeous!
I love those sandals! Classic!
Great summer outfit! Your legs are amazing, Ash!
Can I BE YOU?! Love everything about this post!
Too cute!
Awesome outfit! Hope you have a happy weekend!
That is a cute dress and that color is awesome on you. I love the white sandals, too. I haven’t seen white shoes in a few years, but I feel like they’re making a come-back this summer, which is cool!
That dress looks so comfy and cool, I so need more of these for the summer.

Great look, girl!
You look amazing in orange! And this is such a nice, light shade of it! Love that hair! You have such great volume!
This is the perfect date night summer outfit! I love that color! Orange is little underrated, I feel like. 🙂
I’m with Laura- your volume is AMAZING! I would kill for it! My hair just goes completely flat in hot weather!

Such a pretty dress – I actually have a similarly colored romper!! Love the nameplate necklace!! xo
Lovely, Ash!
Really love the orange here- it’s not neon, and it’s bright but not too saturated. Really different! I love it!
Great outfit!
