mavatar cart – The Rachel Whatever…

All winter long I look forward to the summer, and all summer long I complain about the heat. I hate being hot. I really, seriously hate it. If I could walk around all summer naked I think I would. However, that would be inappropriate on like 100 different levels so I’ll stick to my favorite summer staple instead; light, airy, barely-there sun dresses.

DRESS: C/O JUNO BOUTIQUE || BAG: LINEA PELLE (so old!) || NECKLACES: C/O ARTHUR & LIVINGSTON || SHADES: TOM’S || SHOES: STEVE MADDEN (similar) || EARRINGS: OLD NAVY (similar here) || PINK RING: C/O ROMAN LUXE

I seriously liiiiiiiive in little, light dresses all summer long. One thing that has changed for me since becoming a mother in regards to my summer wardrobe is coverage. I used to be able to throw on a tiny little bandeau and slinky little dress and call it a day. If I tried to do that these days… you’d see SO. MUCH. BOOB! My kids are always grabbing at me and clawing at my clothes, it’s inevitable something would fall out, haha. So these days if I know I’m going to be hanging with the kids my dresses definitely have to stay in place. The straps on the back of this little number are perfect for me since they’re adjustable! This dress is fantastic for a day-to-night; I wore it with a pair of my favorite strappy sandals during the day and threw on these wedges for a night out.

I honestly forget how many tattoos I have sometimes… hah does that happen to anyone else? So many of them are in spots I can’t see and forget about. When someone asks me how many I have I always leave a few out… whoops!

Can we just talk about these necklaces for a hot minute? Obsessed isn’t even the word! I had such a hard time picking out the ones I wanted because they are all seriously beautiful. I thought these would be a great layering pair, but I’m really in love with the horn. It’s just so preeettttyyyy.

I’ve thrown together a brand spankin’ new Mavatar collection with some of my favorite little dresses perfect for skipping around town this summer! Shop my collection by clicking the button below. Happy shopping!

These boots are basically the puppies in the window that you walk by every single day and yearn to take home but know it’s a bad, bad idea. Except, in this case, it was a good, good idea. I have never worn more comfortable, flattering, amazing boots ever. A month or so ago I wore this exact shirt dress and said I thought it would look amazing with a pair of these Stuart Weiztman OTK boots, and yup, was I right!

DRESS: FOREVER21 || BOOTS: STUART WEITZMAN || BAG: FOREVER21 || SHADES: RAY BAN || RING: C/O ROMAN LUXE || JACKET: H&M (similar) || LIPS: MAC ‘DIVA’

The last time I wore this flannel dress from Forever21 I was perusing the city for a quick anniversary getaway weekend. I knew there was going to be a lot of wandering and exploring so I opted to wear it with converse sneaks instead of any fancy footwear. This time around, I decided to ditch the comfortable and sensible footwear and have a little more fun. These boots are an investment because they can really be worn with a variety of things. Flouncy skirts, skinny jeans, leather leggings, shirt dresses, they all look pretty fantastic with these boots.

You ever have one of those days where no matter WHAT you do to your hair you just cannot seem to get it to cooperate? This was one of those days. Up, down, under a hat, nothing I did made it “work.” You go home, curl it thinking that’ll take care of the frizzy unruliness, but we’re only fooling ourselves. Days like that call for tight, tight top knots or sleek braids, am I right?

Case and point: insane hair ^ ^ ^ ^ … I mean, it wasn’t even windy this day. ::sigh::

Shirt dresses, flannel, and boots are 3 of my favorite things about cooler weather. I’ve already gushed over this dress in my previous post, but they are so easy because they’re basically a one stop shop when it comes to getting dressed every day. If the weather is warm, a shirt dress is all you need. If the weather is cooler, throw on tights or boots like I did here with a leather jacket and boom, you’re good to go. What could be better?
