Pre-Loved Blue Satin Dress For Summer

Stepping out in another pre-loved beauty I picked up recently. I actually picked this dress up at Housing Works on Memorial day Weekend. I was visiting with Elle of the Elle Diaries and she let me know that they were having a forty percent off sale, so it was a no brainer that we would be hitting up this second hand establishment tout de suite.

I also got a black blazer from Theory and a pair of wide let slacks from Ann Taylor. This dress is a mock wrap dress and is from Sunner. I love the navy color and the ruffle details. The material is a light satin and is super cool for the hot humid days this part the country is known for. I felt like I was wearing almost nothing which was a good thing as it was quite hot on the day that I wore this dress. It was nice to feel so cool and unencumbered.

I paired it with the minimalist saddle bag that I got at Gap last summer and these fun And Other Stories tassel sandals which I also bought last summer. The sunnies are new and I purchased them from a local store in Port Jefferson on the same day I shot these photos. I loved the eighties vibe and I wanted another pair of white sunnies.

With the blazing heat I had to put my hair up and did a quick twist back and then put it in a pony. So much easier then trying to braid it. Truly it took me no time at all. I am all thumbs when it comes to braiding my hair.

My friend and I headed to a town on the north shore of Long Island called Port Jefferson which most people refer to as Port Jeff. It is a quaint sea side town with an old time vibe featuring many historical turn of the century buildings. There are lots of shops and places to get a bite and there is lovely park right on the water where you can watch the ferries coming and going from Connecticut
