Nothing says summer quite like floral dresses. A classic cotton sundress with a simple shape is stunning enough on its own but when it features an allover floral print design, its a delight. Here are five fabulous floral dresses you will love to wear this summer and how to wear them.

How To Wear A Floral Dress

1- A floral-printed dress looks great with many different types of shoes including ballet flats, espadrilles, and sandals.  Make your look even more stunning by getting a faux tan and layering a few pieces of gold jewelry

2- Make your favorite dress a little more conservative for the office by wearing a longish cardigan sweater or light jacket then cinching it at the waist with a belt. Add a large black tote bag and cream colored heels to balance everything out.

3- Turn your favorite casual day dress into something a little more dazzling for night by adding a pair of sexy sandals and a chiffon shawl.

Summer doesn’t officially start until June 22, but it seems that most of us feel the heat in early May. This month we’re preparing for Memorial Day cookouts, summer trips to the beach, and any extra days we can squeeze in for a little fun in the sun. Here is a small list of what you should buy this month!

1- The Classic Black Swimsuit

It could be a one-piece, tankini, or bikini. A simple black swimsuit flatters all figures and it goes with all your colorful beach accessories! Of course its still important to remember that not all swimsuits were created equal and that its a good idea to keep the following tips in mind.

3- Jelly Shoes

These hot shoes are back this season and this time they look different from the plastic flats that looked a lot like the one we wore 20 years ago.  There are lots of terrific jelly shoe styles this season, but my favorite pair is the MICHAEL Michael Kors Open Toe Jelly Flats. These shiny plastic shoes feature a sexy open toe and a MK  medallion on the vamp.

4- Bold Graphic Printed Pieces

Floral prints have been replaced by funky graphic prints. These fun prints look great on blouses, dresses, rompers, and accessories, but this doesn’t mean that you should go crazy with this look. I suggest that you purchase at least two graphic printed items like a top that goes with everything and a dress thats reserved for casual parties.

What’s on your must-have list this month and why? Feel free to comment!

Why choose just one color when you could have a multitude of shades to create something beautiful? Abstract prints have really caught on this season since they blend the uniqueness of modern art with a bit of youth rebellion. Who’s mother or grandmother would ever wear such funky designs? Didn’t think so!
