Proclaimed by the Harper’s Bazaar one of the most desirable dresses to wear during the heatwaves, this midi dress is everything a girl can dream of. Light, breezy and a total eye catcher, this polka dotted midi dress made layering possible even on an extremely warm summer day. I didn’t even believe I could layer on 40C, but yeah, everything is possible if you wear the right fabrics. When shopping for summer clothes, keep in mind to search for cotton, linen or silk, you will thank me later. They are pretty much the only garments which will will ensure you stay cool all day long.
Timeless and flattering for all silhouettes, a midi dress like this one can save you from a lot of troubles when having no idea what to wear. If you are not so sure about layering, then you can just wear it without a top underneath. Style it with a straw hat, some statement earrings, a pair of sneakers and a basket bag and you’ll look like you got straight out of an old movie or a fairy tale. Now talking about movies, I’ve posted some of these photos on Instagram and I was told that I looked like Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Since I haven’t seen the movie I had no idea I was dressed almost the same as Belle. However, it felt really good to hear that :). Now I just need to watch the movie when I’ll have some free time. How do you feel about layering in summer? xx

This is such a whimsical look! Everything is so gorgeous!
You are making me wish it was Summer over here so I could play around with layering Summer dresses.. rather than layering knits and scarfs!

The dress looks awsome and I like the combination with the blouse! Your dad is taking always so amazing pictures of you and your outfit :-*

I love this outfit, I don´t wear dresses often, but the way you styled it makes me wanna rock one right now! 🙂 I wish you a lovely day
I agree! I adore this look, and I too thought of Belle instantly when I saw your IG post. You should really watch Beauty and the Beast!
I hope your week has been/continues to be lovely!

You’re such a layering master! I swear, every single time I see you layering with long sleeves and spaghetti strap dresses, it looks so chic! Meanwhile, I try doing that and look like a frumpy bulldog haha!
Beautiful look, as usual 🙂

You look like Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Andreea, and I love it. You have given me so many layering tips, I feel confident that I can actually layer with confidence. I like your hair in a high bun, you are stunning.
What a chic outfit idea this is! I really love the top and the skirt separately but even more so together 🙂

Love the way you styled this. All the midi dresses I own are really heavy & probably more suited to winter but I love the flow of this one.

Oh, it is so true that you look like Belle, Andreea! ♥ Not my favourite Disney movie, but definitely one of the best princesses, gotta watch the new movie with Emma Watson in it. Simply adore your look, the midi dress is indeed perfect and although I would not have thought of layering it, seeing it on you made me want to try this way 🙂 Hope you are having a fantastic week so far. Lots of love from England

I absolutely love how you layered this midi dress! The dress is so cute and I love the top you’ve layered it with. You hair is the perfect touch because it’s so femme and put together. Oh and those sneakers are genius! I need to recreate this look somehow <3

I’m so into styling dresses over tops. I do it all the time with slip dresses! You styled this look perfectly – it’s so delicate yet edgy on account of the kicks!

This is so so pretty!! I love that you wore these layered and with sneakers too. It’s unexpected and chic this way, while being a little playful. I’ve been wanting to do a lakeside picnic, we had some rainy days here this past week or so, hopefully I get a sunny one with plenty of time to picnic. 🙂
