WIW: summer dresses

Finally we have some good summer dress weather! I made a couple of bright summer dresses recently, and now I have the opportunity to wear them. Yesterday I wore the linen dress, and today I am wearing the t-shirt dress.
When I made the linen one, I thought, wow, this is bright! But the brightness is still somewhat muted, so I felt like it suited me. I like it.
The t-shirt dress is a much brighter bright, to me, and I'm not sure yet how I feel about it. Maybe it would be better as a nightgown. Your thoughts?

The outfits:
1) Floral linen short-sleeved shift dress (made by me, from Allie Olson Coram Shirt and Dress pattern); silver platform sandals (Mephisto).
2) Floral knit short-sleeved t-shirt dress (made by me, from Style Arc Mary Dress pattern); silver platform sandals (Mephisto).

Haircut

Two days ago I had my first haircut since 21 February. I had gotten it cut very short then, so it wasn't looking too bad. I was glad to have some wave back in it. I went for a longer short cut this time, and am thinking I might grow it into a bob this fall.
Photos are inspired by Angie's showing us her latest cut. I think my style is similar, and I wish it looked more like Angie's!
