A rainbow maxi dress to send off summer.

Well, sending off metaphorical summer, that is. Even though September is right around the corner and all the signature fall signals are popping up, Kansas City is going to feel like summer for another month or so. Like I said last week, I’m milking my bright summer closet for all it’s worth and today we’re hitting every color possible in this rainbow maxi dress.
This is probably the girliest piece of clothing I own. My style isn’t normally cutesy or super feminine; I prefer edgy elements and looks that weave in feminine instead of focusing on it. This dress breaks that style standard, for sure. I loved the ombre rainbow, the tiered skirt, and the off-the-shoulder feature. Plus, it’s loud! Pastel this dress is not.
I kept the jewelry lightweight and dainty (as per my usual) and the sandals studded. (The same sandals from last week; these are super old but you can score an almost exact version here.)
Shop the look:
Doesn’t this dress have serious Labor Day weekend potential? Poolside to barbecue, date night, or drinks with pals– your options with a piece like this are wide open.
Linking up with Elegantly Dressed and Stylish, The Fashion Canvas, I Do DeClaire, Style Splash, Straight A Style, Jersey Girl Texan Heart, Effortlessly Sophisticated, Curly Crafty Mom + Doused in Pink, Mummabstylish, Nancy’s Fashion Style, Confessions of a Montreal Styling Diva, Shelbee on the Edge, The Grey Brunette, My Random Musings, Glass of Glam, and Away from the Blue.
Okay, seriously, how are you NOT at the beach (at sunset) in that dress?? You’re like a rainbow sunset! It’s glorious!
And, NO, I repeat, NO, we are NOT sending summer off yet, we’re NOT. Although I did just drive-thru Starbucks and all the pumpkinny drinks are out already, gah, STOBBIT!!!
Nope. Summer is Not Over Yet. Keep pulling those summery dresses out, Ashley! I’ll keep summering with you!

Now this dress is the way to enjoy summer. And by golly, why is it that everyone is starting to push fall?? It’s summer here until October, haha. But I’m no different on the blog. Because it’s what people think with the back to school.
LOVE this Ashley,
XOXO

I am all about stretching the summer season because even though I love fall clothes, I get tired of them by like December if I start wearing fall outfits too soon!
This dress is a stunning summer statement piece! I love your idea of wearing it to a Labor Day BBQ!
I hope you are having a great week so far!

Yes this dress isn’t your normal style but, boy, it’s fun. Girly is never wrong in my opinion. Its bright colors are appropriate for late-Summer. Fashion has room for all kinds of experiments including this one.
Fashion should be experimenting! Yes! Totally agree!
Now that’s a dress!!! I LOVE it and you look incredible.
Thank you so much, girlfriend!
I love love this dress. It’s so colorful and cheerful.
The rainbow colors on it are beautiful. It’s such a perfect summer dress.

This dress is everything! I am obsessed with the colors and the ruffle top. It is absolutely a gorgeous piece. I am not ready for summer to be over. It flew by this year and as much as I want to welcome fall with open arms, I am still savoring the last 20 days of summer.
