As a new season approaches, a popular trend that is continually seen every year in the south are casual summer dresses. Whether they’re paired with strappy sandals, cowboy boots or floppy hats, they fill the closets of almost all southern Fashionistas and are considered to be one of the must-wear items of the season.
Also, in addition to that trend, brightly colored apparel is re-emerging in the fashion world for spring and summer. With that being said, this week’s Fashionista perfectly combined both of these trends to create an outfit that exemplifies that of a true Southern Belle.
The brightness and versatility of her turquoise dress is what ultimately makes this Fashionista stand out among the rest. While the ruffles make the dress appear somewhat dressy; they also add an increased touch of femininity to the dress. By pairing it with strappy brown sandals, this Fashionista finds a way to keep it chic yet casual.
Also, the best thing about her dress is that it can either be dressed up or down. For a look similar to this Fashionista’s, try a dress like this from LuLu’s paired with camel colored sandals and simple accessories. Or, dress it up with blush colored pumps like these from Steve Madden. Complete your outfit with simple accessories and you’re all set for a day or night out on the town.
Some of my favorite places to get summer dresses are ModCloth and LuLu’s. From strapless dresses to one shoulder dresses in a variety of colors in patterns, they have something for every Fashionista, guaranteed!
