We had planned to go to Milwaukee on Saturday to visit West Elm and try out a Casper mattress before ordering one in the coming weeks. (We’re finally upgrading from our old, uncomfortable queen to a king-size bed!) On a whim, we checked Priceline right before we left and found a room at the historic Pfister hotel for a fraction of the price. We couldn’t pass it up and decided to spend the night in the city, giving us plenty of time to explore antique stores, go to German Fest, and take a boat tour of the city’s rivers and Lake Michigan.
I’ve gotten pretty good at packing for a last-minute excursion, but this dress from Bailey Blue has made it so much easier. It’s an incredibly soft jersey material that feels like a well-loved vintage t-shirt. It was the perfect thing to wear to beat the summer heat while staying comfortable, especially when paired with my new Stan Smith sneakers. (Street style stardom, here I come!) If you haven’t yet heard of Bailey Blue, it’s definitely worth checking out for its selection of breezy summer dresses and rompers at reasonable prices. They also have a selection of plus-size styles. Everything is in junior’s sizing, so be sure to size up.

This is so so adorable! I’ve never done sneakers with a dress before, or at least not often enough! Love it on you!

Those Stan Smiths! I’ve been considering them but I rarely wear sneakers and I want to make sure I get wear out of them! Do you love them?

Totally love them. They’re so freaking comfortable! I never really wore sneakers up until last year after I broke my foot. Once my air cast was off, I was only allowed to wear sneakers the rest of the summer. It was miserable, but I really learned to embrace the sneakers and dress look!
This looks so great!!!

That is a totally perfect grab and go dress (they are the best, aren’t they?) and I’m sure you could throw on some heeled sandals and a statement and be ready to go out to dinner.
