Doesn't this dress speak fun picnic in the summer? If only I was enjoying a fun picnic right now. It is easy to style since it's a statement dress. I love wearing it with more neutral accessories to let the dress really speak for itself. 

I was worried about the slit at first but it's low enough that when the wind blows you stay completely modest. This is a great option for busy mamas because you can stay modest while pickup kiddos or running after them! 

You can also wear this with either a jean jacket or utility jacket and booties for Fall! 

Soooooo, what is Cold Brew? It's coffee with 67% less acidity and can last up to two weeks!

Do I need a cool coffee maker for it? NO! Measuring cup, bowl, and strainer!

How strong is it? Very very strong. It's like a coffee concentrate so it makes great iced lattes or small iced coffees. It can be diluted with water as well!
