Anyone else get super stressed about what to wear to various summer events? I’m headed to DC tomorrow (where has the time gone) and am excited to break out this dress for the first time. Dressbarn launched their DRESSBAR collection a few months ago; they’ve partnered with a variety of designers to update their dress styles and be able to provide options to women of all ages and shapes for each and every special occasion you may have this summer.

I’m a big fan of exposed zippers and was so excited when I saw the one on this dress. The gold looks so pretty and delicate in the center with lace flanking the sides.

Wearing all black during the summer can be daunting, but the blush pink underneath the lace overlay looks so beautiful and the detailing really makes this more than just another little black dress.

This cuff is so gorgeous but a bit too big for my little wrists. I wanted to make sure I had a chance to show it off to you all before I attempt to restring it (fingers crossed.)

How important is it to have a sassy dress for when Beyoncé comes on mid-photo shoot. SO IMPORTANT, Y’ALL.

Thanks so much to Dressbarn for sponsoring this post. All opinions, as always, are my own.
