THE PERFECT DRESS FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND

I think I’m in denial that summer is coming to an end and that soon our wedding festivities will have come and gone, I’ll have to say goodbye to Ali after two months of having her on the east coast, and it’ll be time to head back to my regular routine in Connecticut instead of summer fun on Nantucket. But I’m focused on making the most of these final days of my favorite season in my favorite place with my favorite people — in fact, our family and friends started arriving on the island for the wedding yesterday and I know this coming week is going to be the most memorable one of the summer.

If you too are savoring every last day of summer, consider this gingham dress a fun option for any Labor Day festivities you have on the docket. I realized as I was editing these photos that it’s actually the second gingham dress I’ve shot in this location this summer (#bloggerfail) but hey, I like what I like (and the first one’s on sale if you’re interested!). I’ve come to appreciate a midi length dress or skirt — I used to think I couldn’t pull them off at my height — but it’s such a classic silhouette that I couldn’t resist adding a few to my closet over the past year (two more here and here).
