i despise always having to wear layers to make some of the new trendy dresses work. but what can we do? buying only from the modesy minded websites would leave us all looking the same and broke. until there are more people that care enough to launch fashion lines for women of "taste" like us, then we will have to do some improvising. however, i would encourage us to patronize(if we can afford it) some of the LDS fashion sites so that they can make a profit and eventually lower their prices. it is hard to compete with old navy prices.
if you can't tell, i love forever21 !!! great prices. cheaply made, but who cares? at these prices you can afford to replenish your wardrobe each summer.
weightless tank $6.80- the description said that it is supposed to feel like almost nothing. perfect for those of us suffering through humid summers! scoopy neck enough to show off collar bone and still cover up your goods.
linen jacket-$24.80- normally i shy away from linen(satan's fabric) because it is so hard to keep pressed, but this little jacket would look so adorable with a swingy dress underneath. and it's not like forever 21 is using top quality-high wrinkling linen anyway.
surplice eyelet jacket- $22.80 show of that trim waist CAROLINE!!! you've been working so hard, flaunt it!
cropped eyelet jacket- $24.80 think of the maternity possibilities...cute tummy poking out!
red swingy jacket-$32 love red. especially with white! or yellow! definitely yellow!
long, lightweight jersey tank-$7
modcloth
lightweight sweatshirt jacket-$50 i love this! if i still lived in utah and experienced wonderful utah summer evenings, this would be a must have. definitely unbuttoned over a full skirted dress and flip flops!
super Tlong tissue weight tee- $10 great for layering and if you aren't in love with your upper arms! but then who is?
juniors t-front jacket-$17 so sweet, so cute. lightweight. picture it over a strapless dress!

wonder tee- $10 my friend nicole has this particular style and she wears it with everything! zero bulk. tiny cap sleeves. long length. looks particularly smashing under smocked top dresses.
oldnavyplunging V tee- $10 i don't know, just be daring. perhaps over a halter tie neck dress? show off those straps without showing off everything else?
long layering camis-$8 i love these. i wear them year round under everything. they make low necked dresses quite appropriate. just throw the lightweight cardigan pictured below on top of the dress and you are set. isn't every chapel freezing anyway?
scoop cardigan-$24 love it! yellow is my color this year! sweet pockets and scoopy enough to show off your tan. very ladylike.

white eyelet jacket-$40 very grown up. and you won't melt.
long solid tank- 2 for $8 each. love these. own bunches. so long i still wear them when prego!
so get out there and wear some dresses!
i really have a lot of cleaning and packing to do to prepare for baby #2. but i still would rather spend my free time blogging. consider yourselves that special!

I love the way linen looks but hate dealing with it. Wow good ideas. If only I had money...unfortunately I'm at the phase in my life if an article of clothing is under $8, I buy it, no matter how good or bad it looks. I went to goodwill the other day and found a cute forever 21 skirt for $5. I almost got it but the shad of green/cream paisley (SP?) was so not the right colour for me. Plus I couldn't think of anything to match with it and then I'd have to go and buy a shirt. I was pretty bummed.
You are awesome Heidi, thanks for the help. I need you as my personal shopper, I don't have the endurance to do all the work, so when are you available??
Thanks for all the great advice. Not that it's going to help me cause I am the worst shopper ever and I hate it! Can you just pick out the stuff for me?
You are so much fun! You make shopping look way easier than it is! I just need you here! Thanks for mentioning my waist! But I have a while before it is considered trim!
