The summer countdown is on and this is always the time of year that I find myself searching for a dress to wear to some event. This might be the first summer since college that we don’t have a wedding to attend (although I have full faith that we could find one we could crash) but we’ve got baby showers, parties and get-togethers all summer long. I’m amazed at how quickly summer books up from now to Labor Day — not the one in September. The other Labor Day; my due date in August. Not quite as relaxing as sitting at the lake but certainly more exciting. 😉

While I love dressing up and getting fancy, I also hate to waste a good outfit or a good dress on just one occasion. I think I’ve said this before but ASOS is one of my favorite places to find occasion wear  that you can wear again– they range from super fancy to an everyday occasion like a really fancy date night or a trip to the theater. This summer we won’t be traveling as much so I asked B if we could plan little mini-events each week so that the countdown to our little girl doesn’t feel so long away. Dressing up and grabbing dinner in Dallas is on our list first and if that’s not an occasion at 7 months pregnant, I don’t know what is.

I told B that I’d wear this dress to a wedding in a heartbeat. So if you know anyone, I’ve got a dress and a date and I’m just looking for a fun reception to crash. Oh and get this: B’s suit is from ASOS. It’s an incredible place to find a suit for well under $200, if you’re looking for your significant other.

Speaking of this dress, it’s under $50 and it comes in maternity! (That’s what I’m wearing here.) It’s so darn comfortable and this mint shade is just perfect for summer. I’ve pulled my favorite pieces from ASOS below for any fancy occasion — or not so fancy but you just want it to feel that way — that you may have this summer!

(PS: most of those are regular sizes and not maternity, if you are looking for their maternity dresses, find them here!)

  1. ASOS is truly my go-to for all stages of life. And I’m just so darn happy to see that little belly popping out further and further!

    You guys and this baby…I just can’t!

  2. Gorgeous dress! Did you need to wear any particular maternity undergarment/slips for this one? Asking as a fellow preggo 😉

  3. Heads up, your link to the sandals goes to the page for the earrings. (On my computer, at least.)

  4. Cutest!
    Did you pull out the shapewear for this dress? Ive been going without while pregnant but this looks
    So smooth and gorgeous! Have you non underwire strapless bra? Help! I haven’t found anything comfy that works

  5. That’s a lovely dress! And you are a very cute couple. I like the idea of doing something special each weekend before baby arrives, wish I had thought of that!

    ASOS has some great maternity things, I bought quite a lot from there – especially their workwear, best maternity workwear for a budget I find! 🙂

    Hope you are having a great week! I just published my first eBook so I’m having a pretty good week! 🙂
