There’s one thing all my Seattle girls have in common upon the first sign of summer sun…we lay out and fry ourselves to near heat exhaustion. Why? I suppose a tan is a must have accessory to compliment our favorite dresses we so seldom get to wear…not to mention we’re upon bikini season.

Last Saturday, I was able to enjoy a tease of California-esque sun in Seattle and help my fabulous coworker, Rickey, celebrate his 25th bday that evening.

Knowing Rickey expected we dress to impress, my girlfriend Jess and I rocked freshly cooked tans (mine was more of a burn) and vibrant new dresses.

On me:

I perused around the Gap last week with little expectations and found myself intrigued with this royal blue cotton dress. The only problem was that it made me feel a little frumpy, but I hoped a belt would provide a quick fix. Running short on time and no luck finding the right belt, I was paying for a few things at American Apparel when I found the perfect solution right there at the checkout counter…stretchy head bands!

• Dress: Gap
• Latex headbands: AA
• Gladiators: Nine West

 On Jess:

Jess was on a mission to find a super hot dress for summer…actually, she’s always on a mission for a super hot dress. Anyway, she’s wearing Ella Moss Black Label and I LOVE it, especially how she wore the purple bra which kind of peaks out in the back!

P.S. Happy B-day tomorrow Rickey!!
