What makes the perfect summer dress? To me the perfect summer dress has to be effortless, sexy without being raunchy, casual, comfortable, stylish, and unique — but not so unique that you can’t get away with wearing it every single day . Oh and the perfect summer dress can never, ever make you feel fat.

With all that being said, I think we just found the perfect summer dress.

I simply adore this racer back dress from Amanda Uprichard. The flowy tent-like silhouette allows you to go to town at that summer BBQ while looking polished and put together. This dress can even work as a cover-up at the beach.  Add heels to this bad boy and you can head out for an evening dinner date with that special summer someone (aka some random summer fling).

Want to know one more great thing about this dress? It’s under $200. Yep. Score!!

Think Summertime, or Think Party!

I love the rich emerald shade of the dress, which actually works well for the winter months, and the bare shoulders are just asking to be adorned in a cute black bolero (for winter, you can go in an ultra-luxe fabric, like velvet of even lace). Or how about styling the dress with some layered fishnets hosiery and suede grey booties? Or even a tailored black blazer with scrunch sleeves, a long, multi-strand chain neckalce, and equestrian-style boots? When you start thinking about it, actually, it’s perfect for getting dolled up this winter!

Get Ready for Resort

Resort season is approximately November-January, and usually when the weather is beyond frigid on the East Coast, my mind starts to wonder to warmer locales and wardrobe items. This year, I will be vacationing in the Bahamas during resort season, and was thinking what to wear on the way to the airport and on the plane, while I’m on vacay, and then something comfy to sport on the way back. Here are my top picks that are practical, versatile, easily fit in a suitcase, and of course, chic!
