Whoever said “black is not a summer color” was severely mistaken. Typically I’m not all that tempted by clothes in stores during the warmer months, but this summer has been a different story. When your favorite color and print (black and white stripes) is available in light weight pieces for summer, you stock up! When we first moved to Portland, we loved the summers because they were really mild compared to summers in North Carolina and Illinois. Over the last 5 years though, Portland summers have grown increasingly hotter. Just this week it hit 105 degrees, so I’ve been in search of light weight comfy summer clothes more than ever. These t-shirt dresses from H&M have proven to be great for lounging and running errands. I’ve already purchased 3 this summer (an all black, light pink and the striped one I’m wearing I’m wearing in this post). I’m wearing size XS and it’s roomy without being baggy. I just hang them to dry instead of putting them in the dryer.
