I have compiled a collection of 10 summer crochet dresses that will be perfect to wear at the beach or for a day at the park having a picnic.
Summer is such a great time of the year. It is by far one of my most favorite seasons. I absolutely love waking up on a sunny summer day. Early enough so that the low sun creeps in through the curtains and wakes me up.
I often drink my first-morning cup of coffee sat outside enjoying the morning rays of sunshine. Planning the perfect day is so much easier in summer. All you need is a beach blanket and good company to spend a lovely day at the beach.
Everything seems more cheerful and people are happy and smiling.
