Is it seriously summer time already!? I'm never one to complain about warm weather and with this Banana Republic dress, I can guarantee there won't be a single peep out of my mouth regarding high temps.  This dress is simply to die for for three reasons: It's lightweight, the print is killer and it has POCKETS!  I'm very particular about the dresses I wear during summer because I simply hate feeling like I'm wearing a heavy bag over me - especially when it's super hot out.  Another attribute that makes a dress perfect is its print.  I do enjoy just a basic one-toned dress, but it's something about a pretty print that makes me melt.  This dress has a perfect combination of powder blue and red that ultimately requires very little accessorizing.  You can see here, I did ZERO accessories for that reason haha.  The dress just does all the talking!  Finally, and this is my favorite part, it has pockets.  If I was ever a designer, I would make pockets a requirement for every piece because they're just SO necessary!  For this dress, I really loved that it came with pockets because if I ever just wanted to walk out without a bag or clutch, I could literally stuff my phone and card holder in my pockets.  Overall, two thumbs up, I love it and can't WAIT to wear it again soon!  I know for sure I'll wear it out for a casual lunch with basic wedges or maybe a dressed up dinner with nude shoes like the ones pictured here.  Anyway, I'll talk to you all super soon!
