Garden Party: My Favorite Seersucker Dress

It may be September now, but I’m not putting away my seersucker dresses just yet!

While it seems like so many stores (and bloggers!) have jumped headfirst into fall, I’m still savoring the last few weeks of warm weather. There will be plenty of time for apple-picking, pumpkin spice lattes, and flannel later on, but for now, I’m sticking with my seersucker, and trying to get as much wear out of this adorable seersucker dress as possible!

This dress is less than $60.00 now– almost $100 off the original price! It’s such a classic piece, I know I’ll be wearing it for spring and summers to come. I opted for the classic blue, but it also comes in a really pretty light pink.

I’ve seen quite a few seersucker suits on the DC streets this past summer, and I remember seeing a lot when I was interning on the Hill– I credit it to all the Southern states. It’s a bold choice to make in a city that is filled with buttoned-up lawyers and lobbyists and politicians who usually try their best to blend in, but that’s part of why it’s so fun!

I’ve been traveling so much these last two months, which has been great, but a part of me is very relieved that the next few weekends I don’t have anything planned except some much-needed rest and relaxation. Though I’m bummed that wedding and vacation season is over, I think my body will appreciate the extra sleep (and a break from vacation food!)

I’m still recapping my trip, and I promise I’ll get to Ibiza soon! Ibiza Town was unexpectedly quaint and historic. I guess I just imagined a town filled with nightclubs, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had more of a Mykonos-feel to it!

I’ve been eager to get on the water this summer and go kayaking, and there are a lot of great options in the DC area, but in July and August it can get too hot to be outside all day in the sun. September is the perfect time to get out on the water and just relax.

In addition to this dress, I’ve linked to a few other cute seersucker finds. My shoes were a Nordstrom Rack find a few summers ago, but I’ve linked some similar styles for those, too, below!
