A white cotton dress on a hot summer day

Reaching for something cotton in the middle of summer is a pretty big no brainer for me. The natural feel and breathability are wonderful factors, especially if I'm spending a lot of time outside in the heat of the day. Nothing says summer more than a bright white cotton dress. When I was asked to write a post featuring a cotton item, although I have quite a few and had difficulty narrowing it down at first, I think this was my first and last choice anyway, and solid one at that. It's a timeless style and a timeless fabric. This outfit is from some adventures I'll share more details about next week- I still have more Big Sur photos to catch up on! You can see my cotton video in the post below where I'm also wearing this dress among other cotton items.

  4. I love white dresses even though I'm always scared to wear them! I'm so messy I don't usually do well in white clothes :p Love the way you styled this though! It looks fantastic with the red scarf!
