When I spotted this dress on my last trip to H&M I had mixed feelings staring at its limp figure on the rack. I have a similar elastic waist dress in white that I never wear because it’s kind of big on me. Then I saw it came in XS and thought “what the heck, I don’t have any yellow dresses.” At the register, I was tempted by some colorful chiffon flowers that I thought would look lovely against the bright yellow. It’s been a recurring staple in my summer wardrobe and I’m surprised by its versatility between casual family weekend wear and polished summer office wear.
Flower child I love these flowers and have incorporated them into a number of my summer looks. I wore this colorful combination to work during the hottest peak in Paris’ heat wave this month. I love the burst of contrasting colors and how adding these flowers and a metallic belt bring a lot to this dress.

Sunday lunch I packed this dress into my vacation bag, thinking it would be perfect for an afternoon en famille. I paired it with a silk scarf and flats in complementary tones of blue and green for an easy look that transitioned from the patio table to the swimming pool.

Primary Upon return to Paris, the last thing I want is to kiss summer goodbye. Luckily, the weather doesn’t look like that will be happening any time soon. I’ve never been one to shy away from color so I was very excited to put together the brightest mix of primaries, maybe in homage to all the people I know who are starting school this week ;)
