Flirty & Fruity

·
I’m mixing it up a little for this weeks What I Wore Wednesday to show you a few of my favorite pairings that include flirty summer dresses and some fruity goodness!

Joining the ladies at Kids and Cabernet and Pink and Fabulous for a little Wine Wednesday along with all the weekly fashion blogger linkups you can find here.First off, let me warn you I am not a wine expert!  I typically choose my wine based on how cute I think the label is at the grocery store.  I also know white wine is more for summer but I have just never been much of a white wine drinker.  If the red is too warm or heavy for summer, sometimes I will add a little Fresca to turn it into a wine spritzer.  Bonus you also cut some calories!

Keith & I had a little date night for our anniversary last Friday night and I chose to wear this little black dress.  I love the fabric as it packs perfectly in a suitcase with no wrinkles upon arrival.  I paired with my Stella & Dot Kimberly necklace and these fun shoes.

We dined at Eddie V’s and chose a Malbec.  Lately Malbec has been my favorite red for summer as it seems to be a little lighter than a merlot or cab.

I love, love, love this dress and wish I had ordered it sooner this summer but glad I waited until I scored it 60% off!  Of course it was another excuse to wear my floral wedges so I was all over it.

I think it is a a sweet little dress but also has a little bit of flirt to it.  It reminds me a little of the dresses women may have worn back in the Beaver Clever days all dolled up waiting on their husbands to arrive home for dinner.  I added a thin pink belt and my floral wedges (similar here) to dress it up.

I had an amazing visit with my friend Cindy last night after not seeing each other since April!  Look at this spread she had waiting for me when I arrived.  It was the perfect way to end a summer day on the patio.

Cindy & her husband traveled to Italy last month and the wine they ordered had just arrived.  Bonus points for having a friend with wine straight from Italy!  I’m not sure I have ever had a Toscana wine before but this one was so good.  It was super smooth and we had a hard time not opening a second bottle!

Here is a snippet of a few other ways I have worn my little black dress.

What is your favorite summer wine?
