Hey babes. I hope you’re having the best start to my favorite season! Today I want to chat with you about shopping smart. I know it seems like all the hottest summer styles cost a fortune, but I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to break the bank to slay this summer.

Now that summer's officially here, it's all about bright prints, espadrilles, and sweet sundresses.  I've been known to play with trends and flirty silhouettes, but I'm also a sucker for the traditional fit and flare.  Today I'll be talking about my long standing love for dresses, and sharing the ultimate summer dress.

Nothing says "summer" like a crisp linen look.  I love the effortless vibe that linen exudes, so when I saw this matching set, I knew that I had to have it.  One thing that you can't tell about me from my blog or Instagram is that I like to joke around with my family and friends a lot.  With my twenty sixth birthday on the horizon, my latest joke has been that I'll be dressing more like a wife moving forward in an effort to be the change that I want to see.  I now ask myself, "What would Meghan Markle wear?" in the wake of my many fashion conundrums.  Duchess dreams aside, this linen outfit is a lovely edition to my grown woman wardrobe.
