Maxi dresses are my go to during the intense summer heat and humidity in Washington DC. One of my favorite brands to shop for vibrant, colorful, and modest maxi dresses is FARM Rio. Over the past year my collection of FARM Rio maxi dresses has grown and I adore all of the fun summer prints.

I love shoes as much as the next gal. However at a certain age – I’m thinking mine happened at 26 when I started walking to work – I choose comfort over cute shoes. I am very particular when it comes shoes and being loyal to shoe brands. My love for Sarah Flint runs deep because they stand for style without sacrifice of comfort. This summer I’ve been loving the Sarah Flint Alysia Slide as my go to shoe. It is the perfect all purpose shoe to bring more polish to any outfit but still is as easy as sandals.

This boho-inspired maxi dress makes for an effortlessly polished summer outfit. Also full disclosure, my mama picked out this dress for me! As soon as I saw that it had pockets I was instantly sold on it.

I bought this dress in May and it has quickly become my most worn dress this summer. I am tempted to order it in yellow and white as well. Did I also mention the dress has pockets?!?!

Strawberry picking is one of my favorite summer activities. After three months of quarantine it was nice to do something normal such as strawberry picking! Last week my sister and I took my nephew strawberry picking at Wegmeyer Farms and he had an absolute blast. The farm adheres to strict social distancing guidelines – which I am very grateful – because it made the experience comfortable and enjoyable.
