Styling the comfiest navy jersey maxi dress for a hot summer evening!

I think most of us can agree that summer has hit and the temperatures are only going up! Now that we’re over the rain EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. phase temperatures are high, humidity is high and it’s HOT! I, for one, am not hating it though. Summer is my second favorite season {close second to fall} and I love soaking up as much of it as a possibly can. Are you with me?
Come warmer months {and really all year} I love wearing dresses! Typically, I’m all about mini dresses but this year, it’s all about the midi and maxi. There’s something a little more romantic and put together about the longer lengths. Not to mention, they let you show off a little more skin elsewhere since your legs are covered. The halter neckline on this navy jersey maxi dress really shows off your arms and shoulders.
If you’ve been following Louella Reese for any length of time you may have realized I almost ALWAYS {aka 99% of the time} wear items that have sleeves. Sleeveless, strapless, tiny cap sleeves, etc…have never been a friend of mine. The reason for this, I am SO self conscious about my arms. Every girl {heck every person} has that one body part/spot that they don’t feel 100% comfortable with. My arms are that part for me. Always have been and I’m sure always will be, at least somewhat.
However things have changed a bit! And you may have noticed that by today’s post {as well as Tuesday’s} and recent Instagram posts with me wear inga tank {gasp!}. BBG has changed the game for me y’all! I’ve never had a workout sculpt my arms as much as this program. And while I’m still not 100% confident in my arms, I feel SO much better about them. I now feel as though I can comfortably wear tanks, sleeveless items, and pretty halter dresses like this one. If you’ve been contemplating starting the BBG program, I HIGHLY recommend it! If you have any questions about it, feel free to comment below with them or send me an email at [email protected].

Okay, back to maxi dresses and the real reason for this blog post! To complete this look I threw on my favorite hat {seriously obsessed}, a straw tote, and the comfiest espadrille wedges. Truly these are three of my favorite accessories right now. They’ve all been on serious repeat as of late! If you’re in the market for a straw tote you need to jump on this one! It’s currently marked down to $34.99 AND an extra 20% off.

LOVE this dress on you girlfriend! Even though I’m also kinda self conscious of my arms…I HATE sleeves if they’re a little too tight because I sweat too much;) TMI, I KNOW!
The Champagne Edit
Thank you lady! YES I feel the same about sleeves like that. Sometimes they end up making me more self conscious than if I wasn’t wearing any.
