This dress purchase can 100% be blamed on this instagram post by Seersucker and Saddles blogger Beth.
After seeing her in a fun summer dress (that would look super cute over a bathing suit for the beach or out for a patio dinner) I stalked her blog to find out where it was from. Disappointment set in when I found out it was from Asos last summer.
So when I saw this large check version of the same smock style dress I snapped it up super fast. It is just what I needed, a fun summer dress that can double as a swim cover up, that isn’t my usual basic white.
The hat I picked up at Anthropologie. I wanted a wider brim hat than my standard panama hat and I liked this immediately in store. When I got home I had to get used to the difference in size but I am back to loving this style.
Outfit details: Smock gingham dress Asos, wide brim rancher summer hat Anthropologie, ankle wrap sandals GEOX c/o, necklace Joe Fresh, Sunglasses Ralph Lauren.

You look super adorable in that dress! I have to say I am tempted... I've never ordered anything from asos before, are they true to size? Thanks!

Thank Flo. I generally stick with my size (a North American Size 10) and I am happy. I find that it is a bit bigger fit than I am used to but the one time I sized down I wasn't happy with the results. It isn't a full size bigger just a generous size. That is for the ASOS brand clothing. Another blogger I know suggests to always check the measurements. Hope that helps!
