Now that the summer heat is finally catching up with us in Texas (it’s been pretty mild so far this summer), it’s time to really shed any extra fabric. You simply don’t want to wear more than you have to when it gets this hot! That’s why this open-back Tibi dress is ideal for a night out in the hotter months. The fun beading screams summer, but it’s the airy open-back silhouette that makes even the spiciest temps bearable. In addition to this dress, there are a bunch of gorgeous items on sale at Tibi right now! This colorblock dress would be perfect for a more casual summer wedding, don’t you think? This poplin frock is a classic, but with a faux-crop top it’s fashion forward too! I’m dying for this pair of embellished + heeled sandals. So fun! If you’re more of a basic gal, these flat, strappy sandals are amazing. Lastly, this silk pleated maxi skirt is a summer-to-fall essential.
As far as new fall arrivals go, Tibi’s really killing it there too. This felted wool cape is a layering piece I’m currently coveting. The light peplum on this top is so pretty and feminine, but I also love the edgy look of this asymmetrical skirt. As far as accessories go, this evergreen plaid scarf is an obvious choice and this pair of heels is to die for!
