Summer in Sail to Sable


 shoes: Tory Burch (old) | dress: Sail to Sable (c/o) | earrings: America’s Mart (similar here) | Jack’s onesie: Toobydoo

Happy summer everyone!  We just moved out of our home in Maryland and are up in Maine right now visiting my husband’s family.  I can’t think of a more perfect way to welcome my favorite season of the year.  It’s so beautiful here!  I’m used to southern beaches and landscapes so it’s a real treat to be able to visit such a distinctly different part of the country.  We took these photos at Portland Head Light.  The lighthouse is under construction right now but the surrounding view was absolutely gorgeous.

Today I’m wearing what is sure to become my favorite dress of the summer.  Tunics are such a classic and simple resort look and I’m crazy about the white and coral color combo of this Sail to Sable dress!  My normal “momiform” is jean shorts (“jorts,” if you will haha) and a solid t-shirt or tank top but it’s really fun to step up my game a little bit every once in a while.  Being a mom is messy and exhausting but I really do think it’s important to take care of yourself and not get completely lost in motherhood.  Granted, since this dress is white it’s probably better for a date night or childless party than for a full day with a messy baby.  Jack tends to throw up on anything that I really want to keep clean but I couldn’t help but take a few pictures with my little man.  I made sure to take these photos after his lunch digested 🙂  There are many other color options of this same dress though, so if you’re looking for something that is less likely to show pureed sweet potatoes (Jack’s favorite) you’re in luck.  I’m also crazy about this melon/pink one, this navy/white one, and this cabbage/pink one.  Speaking of a date night, Tom and I desperately need one…it’s been 7 months since we’ve had one (Jack will be 7 months old tomorrow).  Tom’s parents offered to watch Jack while we are here so I think we will get one soon!  Hooray!

If you want to see how some other fashionable mommas style their Sail to Sable head on over to the blogs of the lovely ladies listed below.  They also styled some fab Lisi Lerch jewelry (hello iconic tassel earrings)!  Mine were delivered to our old apartment an hour after we started our drive from Maryland to Maine so unfortunately I wasn’t able to pair mine with my dress.  I’ll share them here soon though!  Oh and be sure to check Instagram at 7PM tonight…we will doing another #mommymonday giveaway and this time we will be giving away a piece of Lisi Lerch jewelry!  Yay!
