Classy with a little Sassy

Apparently, it’s a mini week of linen love! It’s funny how we shoot pictures and they aren’t close together but when everything is scheduled, sometimes there ends up being a theme. You know us, we’re all about themes! Party or otherwise. Plus when we like something, we go all in! So you heard about my love of pink pants from Tuesday’s post. If you missed it, check it here. They happen to be linen fabric, and that was the secondary love that I’ve discovered. With all of this glorious heat we’ve experienced this Summer, there is no better fabric to wear than breathable linen to keep you comfortable.

We’re still sharing all of the incredible items we were gifted from our Asos showroom trip. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, honestly. Probably the biggest pinch-me moment of life! When I saw this on their site, I was definitely interested. The red color is a big draw, to start. Then it’s one of the best shapes on my pear-shaped body. The A-line is flattering because it skims over your hips/butt area which happens to be the largest part of my frame.

I do want to note that I got the size 10. It was still quite generously cut, so I had it altered. Personally, I’m all about having someone you trust to do alterations. If you like a garment but find that the fit isn’t quite right, they can literally customize it to your body. That’s why I love this sundress so much. She was able to take it in so it skims perfectly. 

Plus the sundress is on sale right now. If I can buy something on major sale, I definitely don’t think twice about having it altered. Then you’re saving money and getting the perfect customized fit so you won’t have to worry about gapping or tugging on it while wearing it. I wore it to my Grandma’s 90th birthday party and was so comfortable and felt good all night long.

The belt detail on the back is also a nice unexpected addition. It’s like I was mentioning yesterday, that Asos has a lot of great options within their dresses that give you a little extra pizzazz that sets your dress apart from the average. It’s like classy in the front and party in the back. Like a mullet, but way cuter. 

Plus, y’all know me and mini dresses don’t really get together often. This midi length is ideal for me. I can run around and not worry about bending over or anything. Nothing against mini dresses, but for most of them, the length just doesn’t work well. Plus having a bigger butt, I know I’m not alone with seeing how much shorter it makes the dress in the back! Something must be able to be done about that issue. It is comical at times that I’ll like something based off the front view, and then turn around to discover I lost 3+ inches in the back and can’t bend over comfortably. 

So basically you’re not going to find a better linen summer dress than this one. Plus it’s nearing the “end of summer” (even though it technically doesn’t end until September 23rd in case anyone cares), and everything is on sale. Hooray for anyone who waited to shop until now! We’re constantly holding out for a sale, and this is ideal because you still will be able to wear it for almost two whole months depending on how quick your weather starts to change. Let us know what you’re shopping for right now if anything!
