WHEN YOU NEED TO BE COMFORTABLE AND STYLISH AT THE SAME TIME

This post is sponsored by Chico’s, and I will receive compensation, but the opinions expressed are my own.

I could just show you all of the photos of this outfit, and not say a single word since a picture is worth a thousand words. I’m not sure that I can even do this outfit justice because it is perfect in so many ways. This outfit is great for when you need to comfortable and stylish at the same time. So, let’s start with comfort.

This sleeveless midi dress is from the Zenergy line at Chico’s. It is pure comfort, and it is the perfect dress for running errands or having a casual evening at home with friends. This is the kind of dress that you will live in because of the comfort level and style. The dress is slightly stretchy, so it gives where you need it, and you never feel like you are constricted. The dress hugs me around the chest area, but it flows away and doesn’t cling to my midsection. I am wearing a size 1 in this dress, and it fits me perfectly. I usually wear a size 12 in other brands for sizing reference. Also, so that you can judge the length of the dress, I am 5’6″ tall.

You can also dress-up this midi dress with your accessories. My DIL told me that she could see this outfit for a summer wedding or an afternoon tea. I thought that this tropical square scarf was a perfect accessory for this dress. The scarf adds an effortless style that looks elegant. You can wear this scarf in several different ways to get a different look each time.

Since the scarf and the hat were the stars of this outfit, I only added a small amount of jewelry. These Berry Pink earrings add just the amount of color to accent the rest of the outfit. These earrings are a pair that everyone can wear. They are clip-on, so even those who don’t have pierced ears can still wear these earrings. They have a 2.5″ drop, so they are a great length to be seen, but not so showy that you feel self-conscious.

Most of us need a bag to carry all of our “stuff.” It doesn’t matter if we are going to the beach, sitting by the pool, or going to the grocery store, this versatile jute tote will hold everything that you need. It is a great neutral color, and it has a thread of lured running through the material to give it a small amount of shine. I love that the bag comes with a removable, brightly colored pompom tassel. The tassel provides the bag with personality and a sense of fun. But, the tassel is easily removed so that you can carry the tote when you are looking for a more casual but dressy look.

Of course, I have to mention the straw hat that is yarn trimmed. We all know that we should protect our skin from the damaging rays of the sun, so why not do that in style? This fashionable hat is so cute and fun to wear that you find reasons to wear it even on cloudy days. The brightly colored yarn is fun-loving and can add just the right amount of color to any outfit.

I figured that some ladies might not wear scarves, or find them too hot for their climate. So, this Summerberry Tassel necklace is an excellent alternative for you. The necklace is a mix of dark-pink and neutral beads, and it will add a modern look and a pop of color to any outfit.
