Styling the perfect casual t-shirt dress for summer weekend life + pool time! My friend said I could probably print some cool patterns on it. She told me that BigTimeShirt.com has some great tips. I’ll have to check it out at a later date. But anyway, pool time!

This week it’s all about Chateau Elan Winery & Resort. I’ll be sharing the remainder of my looks from the trip and a full review on Friday. Woohoo! So I’m kicking off the week of Chateau Elan coverage with my most casual look from the trip. I wore this combination to dinner at the pub on property our last night. The perfect look for eating a burger and french fries! I also wore this dress here.
Also, can we take a second to talk about how awesome the pool at Chateau Elan is? My mom and I were obsessed. We spent a little time there each day, soaking up some rays and relaxing. Our room also overlooked the pool so we both often peered down to people watch. Our favorite thing to do!

To make this casual look complete, I added my go to white sneakers and this adorable short sleeve hoodie. The short sleeve hoodie provided just the right amount of extra warmth needed while dining at the pub. For someone that is always chilly, always having a light layer is required.
You may have noticed this tote popping up all over my Instagram feed and IG stories. Obessed would be an understatement on how i feel about this tote. Currently, this is the only item I have with my new monogram on it so I am wanting o flaunt it non-stop. New brides, you understand this, I am sure! While I love the monogram part of it, I also adore the pattern and colors. If you don’t have a Barrington Gifts bag, I definitely recommend scooping one up! They’re so fun to design and customize to your personal style and taste. I obviously was all about the blue and white {shocker I know}!
Also, just an FYI Shopbop is currently having a sale! Actually a Sale on Sale! All sale items are currently an additional 25% off. Use code SCORE17 now until midnight on June 16th.
I love this casual t-shirt dress! it is so chic and perfect for summer!

Your dress looks great on you, I really love your tote and how spacious it is; I’ve been trying to think of if I should use a tote or small suitcase as a carry on for future travels, and your bag gives me inspiration!
