Mocha Mousse is the color of 2025, so it’s only natural that I am drawn to this neutral hue. It is so easy to wear and can be styled throughout the year. Mocha really transcends season. Love that!

Speaking of transcending season, and wearing this mocha dress throughout the year, shoes and outerwear help it fit into the season. In the winter, this dress can be paired with knee boots and a coat. During the fall and spring months, this mocha dress can be worn with a light jacket or sweater, as well as a scarf. For the summer, it stands alone. The knit fabric is comfortable, and I am finding I can wear it any weather; at least here in California.

This mocha dress can also be worn casually, or to the office. I love a wardrobe piece I can wear any day of the week, work or fun! Love that!

I also happen to have this dress in black too. It is classic and versatile. Love!

How are you rocking mocha this summer season?

Thanks for stopping by!

Dress weather time

Dress weather: lipstick / spring nail polish / tote bag / golden earrings /dress (old, see similar below) / boots (old, also love this pair) /

Dress weather is here! I love wearing dresses with boots as we move from winter into spring. Then, as the weather warms up, I can switch up my footwear from closed toe shoes and then move into sandals. Love that!

I recently wore this dress and my go-to black boots to an event. It is always nice to have a go-to dress in your closet for events. I have had this dress for a few years, and it still works perfectly as my go-to dress for various events. The brand makes fabulous, high-quality dresses which last for years, so here are a few of my favorite they currently have in stock. I hope to add another one to my collection. Love!

Belted tote bags are hot this year! This classic tote style is the perfect investment handbag. Even when they are not on trend, they are relevant since the style is timeless. I highly recommend investing in one if you haven’t already!

Casual stripe dress for summer

casual stripe dress with pockets

I found another dress with pockets! It’s like dressmakers have listened and given women pockets-finally! Not that I am putting anything in the pockets, but I am happy to know they are there. haha

This dress is a subtle nod to patriotism for the summer. The navy and white stripes with a single red stripe at the bottom make it a fun dress to wear for the summer, patriotic season. Plus, it’s under $50. Love that!

I wore this dress recently to meet my friend Dawn, from Fashion Should Be Fun, for lunch. We enjoyed strolling around Valley Fair and eating lunch at King’s Fish House. Yum! Since temperatures were in the high 90’s, it was a comfortable dress to wear.

It was hard to choose a handbag to wear to wear with this dress. In hindsight, I would have preferred to wear my straw tote bag. That being said, this hobo bag works too. Next time I wear it, the straw tote will be the bag!

These ballet flats worked perfectly for walking since they have excellent support. If you need extra support in your shoes, or you suffer from Planter Fasciitis like me, check out my review of this comfortable shoe collection.

This dress comes in a variety of color combos, so if navy/white/red isn’t your thing, check out the other colors!

Also, next time you are at Valley Fair, I highly recommend King’s Fish House. Dawn and I frequently eat lunch there because all the food is always delicious! Highly recommend.

Thanks for stopping by!
