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

People call me crazy, but like 80% of my wardrobe is polyester or some poly blend. I swear it is the most comfortable of fabrics! You look great Rach! (:
It is definitely the most comfortable! Thanks Kiki!
I LOVE this dress, Rach! You fabulous and I really love these pics by our lakefront!

The fringe heels will look good with this black dress. A Hammered Round Pendant(https://goo.gl/83FMui) with a long chain will really add more class to it.
Thanks! I'll keep the suggestion in mind!
Love these photos, and i love your black dress

I was in Chicago this weekend and I thought the same thing about the weather! It was burning up on Saturday and then a little chilly on Sunday. I love your hat with this dress!
