Year on year, August never fails to be the most fruitful month for our wardrobes. With September and July still visible in the peripheral, our beloved eighth month acts as a season finale for our summer finds.
This year is no different either (contrary to popular belief). Despite our stolen summer leaving us feeling a little hard done by this year, there’s still every reason to invest in pieces to see us through the month and perhaps even further. And since our diaries are full with invites to picnics, BBQs and socially distanced get-togethers, it feels like the right time to reclaim what’s ours and make sure this summer doesn’t go to waste.
This month, we’ve made the transition into the in-between months a little easier by adding season-defying midi and shirt dresses to our list. So even if you’re feeling a little uneasy about what to choose, we’ve hand-picked pieces that’ll surpass every weather. Keep scrolling for our Yumi inspiration.

Green Plus Size Spotted Shirt Dress
With a nod to the 60s thanks to the polka dot print, this shirt dress features a cool button front and a tie running around the waist to secure your shape. But if that wasn’t enough, it’s also detailed with pockets on the waist (hello functionality).

Teal Snakeskin Military Jumpsuit
