Backless Ruffle Dress

Who else is on the wedding circuit this summer?

We’ve been all over the place the last few months at weddings for friends and loved ones and you know what that means – lots of different occasions to get dressed up for. I usually try and plan ahead for the welcome parties, rehearsal dinners and weddings and definitely will re-wear favorites if there isn’t any overlap in friends. You know do it too!

I really wanted to find dresses that I would be able to re-wear for other things down the road. I stumbled across this little ruffle dress earlier in the summer and completely fell in love. It’s perfect for hot summer nights and welcome parties in the south.

My favorite part of the dress is the back – I love that it’s open and bordered with ruffles. I’ve also found it in a ton of other colors and prints, like this neutral light pink and this one in red.

For a dressier wedding or rehearsal, I love this little black lace minidress that’s under $100. You just can’t go wrong with an LBD!

If you’ve seen these Stuart Weitzman heels, this Steve Madden pair is almost identical and a fraction of the price. If you need something with a chunkier heel (especially for dancing at weddings), this is another version that you’ll find a little more comfy.

In other news, we were out in Connecticut this weekend! We hadn’t been back since July 4th and it was so nice to have a relaxing but fun weekend with MG’s fam. We found time to sneak in a paddleboard on Sunday, did a little shopping, and laid by the pool – it was perfect.

We have a busy stretch over the next month and are out of town just about every weekend. I’m heading to Montauk with some girlfriends this weekend and am looking forward to being out by the water!
