The other day I was scrolling through Facebook and saw one of those Buzzfeed videos featuring a highlight reel of Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. You know her? It started off with the infamous scene of her walking down the dock at camp in an old-fashioned black swimsuit next to all the cheery girls in pink. I just thought… yup, #vibes. Especially since I recently snagged this black midi dress from Asos.
I’m not saying I don’t like color. I really do love vibrant summer outfits, but my summer attitude has been terrible lately. My allergies are the worst they’ve ever been, making it difficult to even take Cooper on a walk at night. The weather went from rainy and cold to hot and humid overnight. Now the mosquitos are absolutely insane. Are you still with me? Because I wouldn’t judge you if you weren’t. I’m being a negative nancy – oh-so-Wednesday-Addams of me.
Ignoring my negativity for a minute, I do have to say this black midi dress is such a winner. I’m usually more of a shorts and pants person, even in the summer, but I’m 100% all in for these midi length dress options. Comfortable, easy to throw on and they look great for all kinds of summer occasions. This one from Asos surprised me. It’s a straight silhouette and I usually need more shape. But once I paired it with my lavender waist bag (also an Asos find), I immediately knew this would be a go-to for all kinds of summer fun.
I ordered the petite option because I didn’t want the dress to be too long, but I’ve linked both regular and petite below. For the record, I’m rarely in the petite category (I’m about 5’6″), but this one ended up being the perfect length. Size up for a little extra room, unless you like things to fit snug.
Shop the whole look:
