There is nothing better than a summer weekend spent by the pool and cooking out with friends – luckily that has been our weekends lately. This maxi dress is the perfect summer companion (I wore it first at home in Kentucky) and I linked it above in blue and it’s on sale in white! At first glace the back is a tie closure and can swing open so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to wear anything underneath. I think if you prefer you can leave it tied loosely and allow it to swing open but I just cinched it all the way and wore a strapless bra and had no problem.

I threw it on with my boater hat (maybe my most used summer accessory) to protect my face from the sun and my neutral flats and Trevor and I headed to the West Loop for breakfast before heading to our friend’s house. I feel like there are a million new places to eat every time we make our way over there but recently it has seemed sooooo overcrowded. The West Loop has always had a unique charm but I think like every new hot neighborhood that comes up in Chicago it gets super crowded and overrun.
