Tomorrow marks the official start of the summer season. Although, I’ve kinda felt as if it were already summer for at least a month now, haven’t you? (Upper 90s temps + the pool = summertime!)
I love creating simple seasonal bucket list items for myself mostly as a motivation to get out and actually do the items on said list. So today, I’m sharing my Summer 2018 Bucket List. Hopefully, the activities on my list inspire you to get out and about and enjoy the season to the fullest too! Head on down for more + deets on this darling gingham dress now on super sale too!
Shop the Look:
Before I start talking about all things summertime, let me tell y’all about this gingham sundress! It was a recent Nordstrom find and I can’t get over the darling lace details throughout the dress. I used the Nordstrom app for the first time to have clothing reserved beforehand to try on in store. Using the app to shop is a great way to find sale items in your size without digging through racks and racks of merchandise in the hopes you stumble upon a gem that actually fits.
I got a notification that all my wishlist items were ready to try on and I headed to the store to see them. I was in and out in 20 minutes! It was amazing! And this dress simply had to make the trip home with me, at that 50% off price point I couldn’t resist. There are still many sizes available, so make sure to grab it before it’s gone if you’re just as in love too!
