A Striped Dress + My 2017 Summer Bucket List

Summer is right around the corner and that means less layers and flowy dresses for me. Although it's technically still spring, we have been getting some nice 80+ weather days here in D.C. During the summer I always gravitate towards easy-peasy pieces because it's too hot and "ain't nobody got time for that."

Keep on reading today's post to see where I got this striped dress from and since this dress gave the summer feels I wanted to share my summer bucket list!

Outfit Details: Dress: Rainbow | Purse: Madison West | Shoes: Charlotte Russe (old) | Sunglasses: Sunglassspot

Black and white is one of my favorite color combos because it's a classic. I just knew I had to get this dress. The cherry on top was the stripe print because I'm a stripe fanatic. I once went through a stripe phase a long time ago, I think I wore stripes five days out of the week. LOL. I received this dress from Rainbow and unfortunately, it's sold out 😩 but I will link a similar one for you guys below. I added a burgundy clutch for a pop of color. This look is summer ready! It made me start thinking of all the things I want to do this summer. So I'm sharing with you guys my mini summer bucket list. 

My Summer Bucket List

1. Ride bikes - I haven't gotten on a bike in a long time but I would love to hop on a city bike with my husband and ride around the city.

2. Vist a winery - There are so many amazing wineries in MD and VA and I always get a living social coupon in my email. I hope this summer I get to visit one.

3. Have a picnic - My husband is not into picnics so I'm going to have to do this one with my ladies. It's so relaxing laying a blanket in the grass, eating and drinking wine in the summer breeze.

4. Travel to Charleston, NC - I don't have any big travel plans this year but I definitely want to drive down to Charleston for a weekend to see the beautiful scenery.

5. Go strawberry picking - I love strawberries and I love farms. This one is a must for me!

6. Road trip around to Maryland and Virginia - Now that we been living in D.C. for almost two years we realize there are so many places to visit in our surrounding states. I want to explore them all.

7. Try a spin class - I don't know why I'm so intimidated to try a spin class but I want to experience at least one class.

8. Brunch every other Sunday - If there was thing D.C. is great for its brunch! I think my ultimate goal is to try every brunch place in D.C. LOL!

9. Sunset from the Lincoln Memorial - I'm not trying to recreate the Wedding Crashers scene 😂 when they are hungover on the Lincoln Memorial steps but I would love to hang out with friends and watch the sunset by the Lincoln Memorial. I have always seen pictures and it looks so beautiful.

10. Go to a local fair - I LOVE fairs partially because I'm a scary cat when it comes to Six Flags type rides so I stick to local fair rides. I also love fair sweets and food!

What's on your summer bucket list?
