21 Jun THT-Flowy Embroidered White Dress for Summer
Time to wear white this summer in my flowy, embroidered Zara white dress.
Zara White Dress
I have a few white dresses for summer. So, when I saw this Zara dress on Poshmark ( my favorite thrifting site), I was able to snag it for $35 🙂 I do like floaty, flowy dresses in the Summer, especially since we have had a very hot summer thus far. It seems like every other day there is a heat advisory, as we reach 100 degrees! One of those days when you walk outside and you feel like you can literally cut through the air.
The embroidery makes this dress special as does the puffier balloon sleeves. Because it is cotton, it is cooler and my second choice of fabric for the Summer months.
Styling wise , I kept it neutral, with my Sarah Flint sandals and ever present rattan bag. I love simple gold jewelry in the summer too. You could easily style this dress a bit more casually with summer flats and there are so many pretty ones to choose from if you wanted to add some pop of color. I did add color to one of my white dresses in yesterday’s POST.
You could also style this dress open and worn with column dressing. Any shirtdress, or dress that buttons all the way down can be turned into a jacket or kimono.
Since I don’t tend to layers this time of year, I styled the dress as is. White dresses to me are quintessential Summer! Since this dress isn’t available, here is another option for you ( and its on sale!)
I will share with you some of my white dress picks to shop below. And if you don’t follow me on LTKI ( Like to KNow it) you can now.
Life Lately
My family is here. My sister lives in South Charlotte, and I in North Charlotte. I mentioned my brother and sis in law are close by. I have another brother with 2 kids who came from Hoboken to visit this summer. We had a great Father’s Day, ( as I said a silent prayer) to my Dad . I do miss him. We enjoyed a bountiful Brunch at a local country club, On the Nines, and it was delicious. No one ate anything after that! I had a refreshing strawberry rhubarb Mimosa, and my hubby gets his favorite Bloody Mary. Later yesterday evening, we enjoyed a Charlotte Knights baseball game ( they won!) and my niece and nephew got to run the bases after the game. It was alot of fun! We have alot planned this week and are renting 2 pontoon boats tomorrow.

Posted at 21:33h, 21 JuneOh my gosh…so when you mentioned the other white dress from yesterday’s post, I ‘squirreled’ over there and didn’t finish this post first. Now I see all of the great white dress choices you have provided. OH MY GRAVY. I am in trouble. Will check them all out. I really, really don’t need any more dresses but I love your white ones. This one is so delicate. The details are beautiful. And it looks so cool for summer.
Hope you have had the very best time on the pontoon boats and with all the fam. You mentioned brunch at the country club. My parents belonged to a country club long, long ago and we would go out for Sunday brunch. Always sooooo good. And my mama loved that we would be so full we wouldn’t need another bite of anything the rest of the day. Your strawberry rhubarb drink sounds scrumptious.

Posted at 10:09h, 24 JuneThank you Leslie! I always love a pretty white dress- especially in the summer. I have linen and cotton dresses at the ready as its pretty hot. I appreciate you commenting! We don’t belong to the Country Club, but it is open to the public for brunch/meals. You are so right! No one was hungry later in the day!

Posted at 09:07h, 21 JuneWhat a great dress! I love that it buttons all the way down to give you different styling options. The eyelet looks like the same as my Zara jumpsuit that I scored at the thrift shop recently. Such a pretty summer look, my friend!

Posted at 04:58h, 21 JuneWow, what a great find Jess! I am not really sure what size I wear in Zara yet so I’m a little hesitant to buy from Poshmark. But this dress, is incredible on you! I love the style, the embroidery and of course the fact that it’s white. Perfect for summer and the SF sandals really elevate the look along with the rattan bag. Love it all!
Your Father’s Day sounds so nice, I’m sure your dad would be happy to know y’all were together. I love pontoon boats – your weeks sounds like it will be lots of fun!
xo,
