It’s nearly the season again for sea salt, wet hair, sun dresses and huge hats. I couldn’t be more thrilled. My boyfriend knows I have such a phobia for the cold, so in the summer months I am a lot calmer, a bit more spontaneous and way happier.
A staple that I think every girl needs in her wardrobe for the summer is a maxi dress. They cover everything, look super chic and still flatter the body (if you find the right one). I always make sure to have at least one maxi dress to carry me through the summer. Last summer I had the perfect navy one from Mango, until my little brother’s puppies decided to rip it apart from the washing line. Won’t get into the detail ('cause every time I think about it, I get chest pains).
I wore my new H&M Maxi to the Braam Beach Party a while back. I love this one because of the really thin straps and semi-low back. The drawstrings around the body are also adjustable which makes it even better. If you catch me in it all summer, please don’t be surprised.
