RHODE RESORT Dress // Vintage Handbag // HERMÈS Sandals (similar style here)

The “Ella” dress from Rhode Resort might just be the best summer dress ever. Not only does it epitomize the term easy-breezy (read: comfortable, lightweight, and super cute), but it’s one of those items that works for all kinds of occasions. I’ve worn it out to a casual lunch with girlfriends and – the very next day – dressed it up with these earrings  for date night with my husband.  Even better? It can double as a coverup by the pool, too.

Whenever I find a dress that’s as endlessly versatile as this one, I always wish I had it in more than one color. In most cases this is wishful thinking – but not this time! This summer wonder comes in a rainbow of options. I love the canary yellow and then there’s an inky-blue that’s cute, too. I think the one I’m after is this white one. It’s super simple but I love the addition of the red embroidery around the collar. If you’re looking for a day-to-dance-floor kind of dress, this is it!
