Wait! What?! It’s already Wednesday? That’s what happens in a four day week. HA! I’m guessing nobody will complain about a short work week. Our temps have finally started to rise a little and this girl is happy about that. I’m ready for all things summer, including cute and comfy dresses, like this great knit swing dress from Aventura that has POCKETS. What is it about us women that loves our pockets so dang much?
Before I move into the dress details, let me share a little bit about Aventura. Are you familiar with their site? They are a family owned company dating back to the 1950’s. They believe in shopping sustainable, fair trade, helping our planet, and they also have a philanthropic mission to help fight hunger. What’s not to love about a company that cares? More and more consumers are looking for companies who are taking an interest in bettering our world, and the world of our children. Aventura falls right in line with this.
A summer essential for most women is a good, easy to throw on, comfortable knit dress. You can dress it up with wedges or down with flat sandals or sneakers. They’re great for hot days and even better for packing to take on vacations.
Knit dresses are pretty much a dime a dozen, and some of our favorite retailers carry a bunch that are dirt cheap. Y’all know who I’m talking about.? It’s nice to have one that you won’t see every time you turn around though. That’s just one of things I adore about this striped tank dress. The quality is amazing and the fit is spot on. I’m in my normal small and it’s perfect. One of my biggest pet peeves is stripes (or plaids) that don’t match up on the sides (or even worse, front) seams. Check the sides of this dress. The stripes line up perfectly.
The hem is slightly curved which is another detail most of the dresses like this don’t have and…wait for it…
How about the cute little cut out on the back! I love an extra somethin’-somethin’ like that on a dress. So I have to give this knit swing dress with pockets 2 thumbs up. Don’t be surprised if you see me wearing this a.lot.this.summer.
Perfect little dress on perfect you and looks to comfy too..and yes, I like to rhyme!!
Love your rhyming and you!! XO
You can never have too many stripes and that dress is darling on you! Looks so comfy and I love the cut out detail!

Such a cute dress and perfect for Summer! The stripes give it a subtle patriotic vibe that would be perfect for July 4th! Glad you are getting some warmer days!
You’re right about the 4th vibe, Gina. Hopefully we’re on the upward swing with our temps. XO
This is absolutely perfect for the summer (of course I have no idea when summer will be here, LOL).
And I love pockets too, but do you know my mom takes them out of items?? Hilarious, right?
XOXO

Our summer seems to be taking it’s sweet time too, Jodie. I have one sweater I keep meaning to take the pockets out of because they emphasize my hips, but I can’t imagine taking them out as a general rule. LOL
I love it when stores take the time to do little details like make sure patterns and prints line up correctly! It makes it look much more expensive! That dress is adorable on you!
Me too Laura! Thanks so much! I wouldn’t have even known about this brand if it wasn’t for you! XO
Such a pretty dress! I love how dresses feel in the summer, a little more light weight and so much easier to wear in the humidity. That cut out in the back is so cute!
