Dog Days of Summer and Ageless Style Linkup

Hi everyone, it’s so funny isn’t it…at first we complain about summer taking such a long time to arrive. We’re sick of the rain and cold and hanging out for summer to arrive. Then “voila” it’s here and the next minute we’re so hot we feel like we can’t move and have no idea what to wear. Does this sound familiar to you?DSC_1115

This is where the 3rd Ageless Style Linkup comes in to save you – smile. Todays theme is what to wear during the dog hot days of summer. We decided this time to simply have links instead of photos of each co-host on our blog posts but please do take the time to check out all the different styles – each month I find it so interesting how a small group of women can come up with such a diverse way of covering the same topic…I know I can’t wait to check out everyone else’s look.

Now for my personal favourite:

DSC_1091This super simple Max&Co dress which I bought last year…it’s the one I found in Como, didn’t buy, tried to get online but they won’t deliver to Switzerland so I had to order it and get it sent to friends in Stuttgart…

On super hot days I love teaming it up with my cute Clark Sandals (similar) and Hat…

Sometimes I choose to wear it with my little black Prada bag (similar from L.K.Bennett) and Espadrils (similar).

Note the necklace (vintage Max&Co) – not what you would expect to combine with a blue and white dress but I think it works nicely adding that little extra touch to  the whole outfit (another I like from niemanmarcus.com).

A few online summer dresses  for Dog Summer Days:

Note models wearing the short dresses are 5’9 inches so unless you too are so tall the dresses will most likely be knee length on you.

  1. Glad to hear it’s finally getting hot in Zürich Yvonne! Hehe, I remember last summer and it felt like it would never cool down. I LOVE this dress on you. So adorable and the necklace is perfect styled with it.

    Great link up too.

  2. This is so cool Yvonne!
    The dress looks great with the clarks sandals and those cute espadrilles.
    But, it’s your fabulous attitude that makes these looks sing.
    A smile is the BEST accessory!

  3. Oh, this dress is adorable, Yvonne! I can see why you went to all of the effort to finally have it as your own. I like both ways you have styled it here and think the yellow statement necklace was a great choice for an accessory. I love yellow and blue together. 🙂

    1. Hi Andrea,
      Thank you sweetie…the sandals have been much more useful than I ever thought – love the soft sole, perfect for hot days when your feet swell up.
      Stay cool too dear 😉

  5. I love your dress, Yvonne! And they are my go-to item on hot days, too. Nothing as simple and cool and chic as a dress in the summer – and you proved it here. : )

    1. Hi Shelbee,

      Thanks so much for your lovely comment.
      Will def stop by on your linkup but it might have to be Friday morning this time – hope that works;-)
      Have a fab day,
      xxx Yvonne
