We all have those pieces we put on again and again. For me, it’s lightweight midi dresses (often embroidered) and a comfy dad sandal. Tease me all you want, I know these sandals look like orthopedic shoes but I walk everywhere and need comfort. This combination works well for me here in Charleston, especially in the heat. I don’t want my clothes to stick to my body!
My Easy, Breezy Summer Uniform
This Sea dress is a favorite. Sea is one of my forever favorite brands; I wear everything I have from them again and again. The quality is excellent, and they always include such special details. I remember my first dress from them (of course, I have a photo of it). I wore it until the lace was quite literally falling apart. I also got this mini, and am thinking about this red maxi next. So gorgeous. Other recent favorite things include this nightgown-style dress (I wore it on a date with my boyfriend), this Cara Cara dress (super comfy and you can skip a bra), these rainbow platform sandals (the most fun!), and these puffy Tory Burch sandals from their collab with BonBon.
On the more affordable front, you cannot go wrong with these ($30!) dad sandals!
Outfit Details: Sea dress, Chanel dad sandals (bought on The RealReal four years ago), Destree handbag.

We share a summer uniform!!! There a quite a few brands here that are new to me. Would you be able to share your sizing for Ophelia & Indigo, Mirth and Sea? I’m pretty consistently a medium but sometimes size down with gorgeous flowy summer dresses like these. Thank you!
Medium in all of them 🙂 xx
Thank you!!!
Love this round up, Grace! Btw, I know you are a fellow fan of the Glossier Body Hero scent. Did you see Glossier came out with a Orange Blossom and Neroli body mist spray? FINALLY! I ordered it yesterday and cannot wait to try it.
I did! Excited to try it.
I also highly recommend the deo!
