What did I say about the humidity and the size of my hair? It’s big here, guys. Prepare yourselves.
So what’s a girl to wear when it’s hot ‘n humid outside? My go-to: a floaty summer dress in a light color (reflect, sunlight, reflect!) and a pair of easy wedges. I love the cut-out detail on this Swell number, and grabbed a braided belt in almost the same shade of cream to add a little definition at the waist.
Today I’m co-hosting the Trend Spin Link-up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels + The Fashion Canvas and we’re showcasing our favorite accessories. What’s my fave? Right now it’s the BaubleBar Signature necklace– I’ve had this since early April and reach for it all the time. Love how it really pops against the cream-colored dress.
Come and link up with us now!
Thanks to the Trend Spin babes for letting me co-host the link-up! 🙂
And a shoutout to Megin at VMG206– she’s chosen to feature my neon maxi dress outfit from last week over on the Brag About It Link Up. Thanks, Megin!

I actually love the big hair (and love Gwenn’s term ^^^ of “lion waves.” Awesome.) And the dress is SO perfect. Love the pinky/coral option they have of it, too.

Girl SAME my hair is going cray cray the past few weeks! You can see the frizziness in today’s post 😉 So no worries, plus your hair is always gorgeous! I’m loving this dress on you!
The second I start to feel my hair growing, I throw it up. Yours still looks wavy and perfect! Enjoy South Carolina 🙂 I bet it will be a nice change up from all this rain we’ve been getting!

Floaty dresses are a necessity here too when temperatures start to turn humid! This dress is too cute!
I didn’t like that necklace until I saw yours. But like the rest of the things in my life, I saw that you had it and now I want it.
Great summer outfit! I love your hair like this- the bigger the hair, the better! 🙂
Yay for co-hosting the linkup! That’s awesome Ash!
Love those wedges!

Girlllllll, they DO! You order it from BaubleBar and then pick the name you want, then send them a pic of your actual signature and they recreate it! 🙂
Your dress is really cute and looks like it’s so comfortable and airy! Loving the signature necklace too!

Congrats on hosting the linkup!
Have so much fun at the conference! South Carolina is so gorgeous. 🙂
There are palm trees, so I’m super pumped. (And also easily impressed.) Ha! Thanks, M!
Those wedges are perfect summer shoes- I love them!
Have a great week!
Pretty!
What a great look, girl! I love the necklace- so cool!
I love the way you styled this dress, Ashley! And that signature necklace is awesome- your handwriting is so pretty!
that is one thing i didn’t like about kansas the summer time humidity. it was fun for the fireflies but not for the chiggers nor the underwear sticking to your body
The humidity is a killer- you KNOW. The air is so thick sometimes you feel like you’re swimming in it. 🙂
I know you mention the humidity taking it’s toll on your hair, but you look great!! This is the perfect summer look, and your hair looks pretty and summery as well 🙂

Something About That
Your hair honestly still looks awesome – I love it! Great to see you co-hosting!! Carylee | morepeicesofme.com
Thanksssss, Carylee! 🙂
Your hair is amazing! I wish mine had body and wave like that! Instead it’s just stick straight and so limp in the heat and humidity. Too gorgeous, Ash!
Girl, it’s got a mind of its OWN. Haha. 🙂
