When the forecast calls for 90°F and high humidity, the last thing you probably think about buying is something denim. But Blake Lively? She killed it this summer. The always stylish actress was recently spotted wearing head-to-toe denim while out and about in New York City. Although her Chanel bag is totally out of budget and her floor-length denim trench is a little too fashionable for us mere mortals, the denim dress is absolutely something we can copy.
While your favorite jeans are probably too heavy for summer days, there are plenty of breezy chambray dresses and lighter jeans that are perfect when temperatures are sweltering. Pair them with comfy sandals and cute sunglasses, and you’ll be ready to run errands or barbecue with friends.
