Beat The Summer Heatwave In These Six Dresses
Holy smokes, this summer is starting to heat up! 🔥 🔥 🔥 I am always amazed when I see some of you post about temperature in the 120+ range. Yikes!!! I can’t imagine stepping outside the house in that kind of temperature, and you would find me sitting in front of the air conditioner. Even though I’m not battling that kind of heat, I will be heading to Atlanta soon, so I’m starting to think of ways to stay cool. I plan to beat the summer heatwave with dresses, and here are six that I know you’ll love.
- Lightweight Linen Dresses for Women
- Best White Dresses for Women Over 50

I’m sure most of you have heard me talk about the virtues of wearing linen in the summer to combat the summer heat. It will wrinkle, but I’m willing to take the wrinkles to keep cool.
I love this hot pink color, and the raw hem detail is so cute. While I love the style of this dress, it is a little big on me. And, honestly, I’m not sure I would shell out the money for it. I like the dress, but I don’t LOVE the dress.
I like the accessories, and I think the Shell Earrings and the Statement Cuff Bracelet would look great on a beach vacation. The Wallet Crossbody is perfect for times when you only need to carry a credit card, driver’s license, and a phone.
This is another linen blend dress, but this one is at an affordable price. If you work outside the home, that doesn’t stop for a heatwave. This gorgeous Shirtdress with Puff Sleeves is such a beautiful color, and it would make going to work more enjoyable.
The dress has an elastic waist with a self-tie belt. I would probably replace it with one from a 4pc woven belt set I bought several years ago since they would match the Tan Straw Clutch.
Now we are talking! This beautiful maxi dress is a stunning shade of blue and has an adorable seashell print. While this would be so cute to pack for a beach vacation, I think you could wear it no matter where you live!
Here is a good look at the details of this dress. I added a lot of my gold jewelry and a neutral Woven Bow Handbag. I wanted to keep the look of this outfit light and airy.
Ooooh! This white Linen Halter Fit & Flare Dress is gorgeous! I’m busy trying to think of somewhere to wear this beautiful dress. I may have to talk Joe into a fancy date night so I can strut around in this dress. Lol!
It is as stunning from the back as it is from the front. I’m wearing a size 12, which is my usual size for dresses. It fits me great through the waist, but it is a tiny bit too big for me in the chest. I would need to do a small 1/2″ seam under each arm, but that’s an easy fix.
Of course, the dress is lined! Talbots does it right when it comes to white clothing.
I feel like we all need a nice “out on the town” dress for summer. Even though Joe and I don’t go out on the town often, I like to have a nice dress in my closet in case I need one.
I could see me wearing this Satin Midi Slip Dress out to eat on vacation. It would be great to take on a cruise since it is lightweight and wouldn’t take up much space in your luggage. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits me great and I even have a little extra room to spare.
This was my favorite of all today’s dresses. I loved it the minute I saw it on the website, and it didn’t disappoint me when it arrived in person.
The dress is very lighweight and flowy making it perfect for a hot summer day. I love the embroidery details, and the shades of pink, yellow, and green look amazing against the beatuful teal background.
This dress has a drop waist, but it also comes with a beautiful rope belt with tassels if you want to create a waistline. I love the dress both ways, and I can’t make up my mind which way I liked best. Did I mention that the dress has pockets?!?
This color is almost completely sold out, but it is available in Spice which would look great this fall. Here are some more I found from this website that are gorgeous.

There is something to love about each of those summer dresses! Another important thing to help beat the heat is great wicking, anti-chafing underwear.
Too cute about your granddaughter. You are so lucky to have her near by.
You look great in all of the dresses.
I’ve been wearing more dresses lately because they are cooler.
Love all the dresses, the white for sure I like the way it is made.
Definitely great choices for this hot weather.
I love all of these dresses!! Good picks! You look amazing in the Solstice dress. I also love the verse of the day…one of my faves.
Love that last dress. You look fabulous in it and I hope you keep it.
I did!!!
Cute summer dresses. My favorite is the pink linen.
I love the last dress with the rope belt on, you look like a million bucks.
And I’m like you, I love color and the pink and green look so gorgeous on you!
Cute stuff!!
I love that blue maxi dress on you. I am 5’2″ and would appreciate any tips for we height challenged women on wearing maxis and not look like we are wearing our tall sister’s clothes.
Love the blue dress. So pretty!
Sundance with the rope belt is my favorite. Great color for you!
love the solstice dress. beautiful color and the drop waist is very forgiving.
Love the story about your granddaughter. A little jealous as all my grands are mikes and states away!
The dresses are gorgeous. The last one is cute but the blue and white one is elegant.
My favorites are the white dress and the last one with the tie. So cute.
My favorite is the white dress from Talbot’s. But the petites are all sold out!
The white one, the white one! You must have the white one! It looks fantastic on you! I think the pink one does too!
I’d buy the summer solstice dress for me. That color is my favorite, but the shape is a little weird and I don’t think it would work over my stomach.
Cute array of dresses though. They are so easy and fun!
Very pretty options for summer !
Tania! That white halter dress is so fabulous on you! Hello Hollywood!
Loving all the choices today. Dresses are the only way many of us can stand the hotness. Seriously all of those choices are beautiful. Amazon did great with this years designs as well.
Blessings, beautiful friend!
Julie
The pink dress is stunning with your coloring. Walmart pajamas are the bomb!
You look so cute in all of them! My favorite is the solstice beauty dress – just adorable.
LOVE the white halter dress!
Love the Swim Dresses. Thanks for posting!!
Love the blue dress!
My goodness! I can’t pick a favorite. I really loved each dress and wished I owned them all! On another note, I’m glad you post sizes. Sadly, I too tied to numbers for sizes and on the scale. Seeing you in every size from small to large drives home the point that size is irrelevant and how you look and feel is what matters. perhaps a very important lesson for many women.
I vote for the Teal dress with the darling rope belt! I love it!!! you look amazing it it both ways but the belt is so cute, I would just have to wear it!
Of course I love the dress that is “out of stock” in my size, the teal one! It is very pretty on you. Thanks for what you do.
Love the dress from Sundance
Soak up every minute of that granddaughter wanting to stay with you! I have so many fond memories of staying overnight with my grandparents — even though their house was next to ours. My favorite dresses are the hot pink one and the Lilly Pulitzer seashell one. But I wouldn’t pay the price for either one. I love dresses for hot Texas summers. One and done!
Have fun again today with your granddaughter! While you look so nice in all of the dresses, I do t have a favorite.
Good morning! That linen halter fit and flare dress looks fantastic; it looks like it would be flattering enough for my middle and yes I could take in the upper sides a little too. I am even able to wear white later in the summer (paleskin, moi). Very interesting. 🙂
I like the all pink one, especially the blue one with the shells and the white one! But I can’t open Nordstroms site.
That’s strange. Maybe try it on a different device such as a phone, iPad, or computer.
Tania! The pink Scoop dress is SO cute!!! Adding the rope belt to the Sundance took it up to a whole new level! They are all so pretty! Happy Thursday❤❤❤
These dresses are beautiful! I’d entertain the thought of spending over $150 for dress if I was at the weight I want to be at. 😢
Wow!! I love that teal blue dress. It really makes a statement. It looks beautiful both ways with or without the tassel belt. And I love your hair!!
Love all the summer dresses 👗 especially the beautiful green shirt dress. The green is a great color
I love the satin midi slip dress on you the best. It’s very striking on you
Beautiful dresses!
Tania, you look fabulous in all the dresses especially the bright colors. My favorite is the teal Sundance dress. The colors and style of this dress could easily transition into Fall. Your “mini me” granddaughter has really grown up. I really enjoy seeing all your family pics and reading about your family events etc….especially your “Joe” stories. We are to expect cooler temps in NC soon so I hope we all get a little relief from the heat.
~Lisa~
Love all these dresses.
Aw, how sweet is it having your granddaughter spend time with you. I hope I have grandchildren someday (all I have right now is grand dogs and cats). I really like some of the dresses you showed but the last one belted is by far my favorite!
That green dress looks beautiful on you!
The white Talbots dress looks great on you better than the catalogue model. Very pretty!
Enjoy your granddaughter. You are so fortunate!
Enjoy your granddaughter! We are under a heat advisory today in Eastern NC, it is HUMID! You look great in everything! I feel like I need that green dress! 💚
I woke up to rain, so it is nice and cool this morning.
Oooh that white dress is divine♥ Sadly none left in my size
Hey Tania!
This is a great post. (As so so so many of your posts are!!) Thanks!
I would not have looked twice at the pink shift dress on the website. No offense to the model but you wear it SO much better! It looks awesome on you!
Like you though, I think the price is too steep. I won’t pay $188 for a dress.
For me there’s nothing better than a cool (well priced! 😉) dress on a hot day! Thanks for the post.
Love them all! The Sundance drop waist dress is beautiful. I have an EF drop waist sleeveless dress but I don’t wear it often because I just can’t figure out what kind of topper looks good with it. The only thing I haven’t tried with it yet is a kimono but I’m looking for one now. What would you wear as a topper for a drop waist dress?
That’s a hard one. I think a longer cardigan, kimono, duster would look the best, but it is hard to know for sure without seeing it.
Have fun with your beautiful granddaughter! Beautiful dresses.
Love the dresses!!
I love these dresses! Great job picking them! I love the Lily Pulitzer one – it looks baggy on the website, but beautiful on you! Any of them would be great for a summer reunion. Thanks!!!
Love all the bright colors for summer – beautiful!
Personally, I like the last dress with the belt best. Summer solstice beauty dress for me!
Your granddaughter is too cute! Loving my linen capris this summer.
I like the Lily Pulitzer maxi dress the best, with the Sundance belt without the rope belt second best. Great dresses! Thank you, Tania.
I like the teal print dress but LOVE the print silk slip dress. I purchased the white Talbot’s dress the last time you showed it. Looks fantastic in you.
lovely dresses
Cute dresses! Even cuter picture of your granddaughter! 💗🌸
She is so much fun to have around.
Love, love the blue seashell dress on you! Also really like the white dress and have thought about buying it for myself, but as soon as I would put it on for a special dinner date, I would be sure to drop a piece of food on me leaving a big SPOT. That’s my middle name – spot – so I am best to steer clear of it. It is a very pretty dress and looks fabulous on you!
P.S. I really enjoy following you and Joe on your adventures. Love following you on your try on hauls.❤️
Pat, you sound like Joe. He can’t eat without dropping something on his shirt. 🤣 A Tide stick for stains works great.
I love the white one on you.
I have a similar pink one,hot pink from Walmart. I had to let it shrink so it would fit perfect since I’m a petite.
I just wear it around the house and yard instead of shorts because it’s soo much cooler. So I am only wearing dresses this ☀️ summer.
Debra, dresses are so much cooler than even shorts!
All gorgeous dresses!
OMG, the pink Rumba Linen Blend Shift Dress is DARLING. How can you not LOVE it! The color is so bright and fresh!
It was just too big on me, so it wasn’t flattering.
Beautiful dresses. Glad you’re enjoying your sweet granddaughter!
