I live pretty close to a park where a lot of kids go after school. Now that it’s warm out pretty consistently, the ice cream trucks have descended onto the park. One afternoon there was a line down the block with eager kids (and parents). The temptation is real. Mister Softee just brings me back all the memories– it tastes like summer to me!
Anyway, I used a shoot day as an excuse to get a little cone. Vanilla and sprinkles… always.
I picked out this Gal Meets Glam striped dress and it’s literally so cute and comfortable. Naturally, I wasn’t the only one who thought it was cute. It sold out nearly instantly!!! But it’s still available in a 00. I’m wearing a 0 here and, honestly, I think if you’re normally a 0 or 2 the 00 would still work. It’s forgiving and super loose.
There’s another, similar option for a maxi dress and I rounded up a few more dresses with a similar vibe:
I totally plan on wearing this all summer long. I think it’s perfect for the beach and would even work as a coverup. Nothing easier than a dress that goes from the beach to dinner!
Also, I know keep saying this, but how did I get through summers without a denim jacket? I love layering it over dresses in the summer because, unless it’s 90+ degrees, I’m probably freezing. And restaurants are always cold. And when the sun goes behind the clouds I get cold. And when the sun completely sets I get cold.

That dress is too cute! Perfect for the beach, dinner or shopping. A jean jacket is my go-to for the summer breeze too!

This is so cute!! I love how you are wearing sneaks with the dress!! I love the vibe it gives! And, I am totally jealous of that ice cream. There was an ice cream around campus the other day, and I missed it!! So sad lol! Enjoy your day, girl!

Such a cute look! I love my denim jacket, too. Question: On the GMG website, the dress color is listed as “teal” but your dress looks more like a light blue. What color is it really in person?
It definitely is slightly greener than just light blue…. maybe like a blue-ish mint!
It’s such a cute outfit, Carly! I love how you’ve styled the dress 🙂
For a minute I thought you snagged a Mister Softee sponsorship and I was gonna be like GURL, the dream!!!
Seriously though. THE DREAM
Oh my goodness, you just took me back to my childhood growing up in Hoboken! So many great memories!
What a gorgeous dress! And that ice cream looks delicious! Even though it’s rainy here in England at the moment, I’d love to have one of those ice creams!

You definitely influenced me to get a denim jacket, and though I was unsure about how well I could rock it, I now LOVE it! It goes with so many outfits!
Your dress and bag are both so cute!! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
