RD's Obsessions

Uncategorized

Strappy Drape

Dress: c/o Banana Republic
Panama Hat: from Greece, similar here
Sandals: from Greece, similar here
Watch: c/o The Camden Watch Company

Chicago likes to be extreme. The weather can be extremely cold or extremely hot. It’s predicted that this summer will be (more than usual) extremely hot. So dressing appropriately is a must! When I got this dress from Banana Republic, I immediately knew this is the LBD (Little Black Dress) of the summer. The polyester fabric is super soft and very lightweight. The dress has a draped front with petal a wrap which I love! It has a classic look with a slight twist.

Another thing I love about this dress is how it can easily be transitioned from day to night. I kept the outfit casual in this post by wearing gladiator sandals & a panama hat, but it is so perfect for date night too. Just pair it with a some fringe heels or suede strappy heels with a rose gold clutch and you are ready for a night out!

    Love that dress! The draping detail is so perfect and flattering. You dressed it down so well, and I am sure it would be equally as fab dressed up.

    An informal, but such a chic look! I have a hat that's really similar, and you've inspired me to pull it out and start wearing it! –Ginger
