The easiest way to stay cool yet fashionable in the summer is with a fun, flowy maxi. You can basically walk into any store this time of year and find some rendition of the maxi yet not all maxis are created equal and here are some tips to pick to perfect summer dress:
Love the leg slit. Make sure there is a small slit in the bottoms of the dress. It’s universally flattering for all shapes and sizes and makes it look less like a maternity dress.
Fall in love with off the shoulder. It’s no secret I am a sucker for anything off the shoulder. It’s sexy and feminine without having to show everything God gave you (I’m all about leaving a little to the imagination).
The Deep V. If you are small chested and can get away with a deep V without mortifying your father and showing too much cleavage, do it. Remember- when having a conversation with a guy you want him to look you in the EYES. This is critical when experimenting with this look and keeping it classy.

Also obsessed with off the shoulder everything! Including this dress!
Favorite dress especially with the open shoulder. Very cute!
Hi Lauren! I love the blog. Super cute and fun! Whenever I click on “Life with Ben” it brings me to recipes (super yummy though) is it meaning what you and Ben eat together daily or is it just not letting my access that section of the blog. Keep doing what you’re doing girl looks good!!
This is amazing and you look beautiful as always! Style icon and real-life goddess. 🙂
Lauren, love all the advice! Thanks for sharing! Would love to also know hair and makeup suggestions! Also always love your jeans. Where do you find most of your staple pieces like that?
Thanks girl! Blog is super cute!

Please add me to your blog list. I couldn’t find where to do that on your site. Thanks

Hi Lauren,
I am loving looking through your post on your blog! I don’t know if you are interested in this sort of topic.. but, I recently watched a documentary on Netflix called “the true cost”. It was such an eye opening experience about fast fashion. Most of the stories on the movie weren’t even on my radar.
After the movie I spent hours trying to figure out what fashion lines were transparent in speaking about the factories that make their clothes. I found that it was really challenging to figure out which brands I wanted to support. I am such a sucker for anything from Anthropologie so I spent about half of that time trying to prove that Anthropologie was fair trade… still not sure about that.
Anyways, as I was looking through your blog I just thought id share something I thought you might be interested in. Maybe a post about which brands are fair trade that we should support and that also have super cute style 🙂 win win!

After a brisk climb in this olive green dress, you arrive at the perfect picnicking spot. While arranging your handmade treats atop the blanket, a breeze billows the vented skirt and back cutout of your summery maxi, causing its beaded drawstring to chime in the wind. What a sight!
Superb post. Many thanks for discussing valuable content material. No doubt each one of these tips are extremely much ideal for bloggers. I think it’s very helpful for every parson.
