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.

Clothes are the garments you just wear. Fashion is how you style the garments. Once you know the difference between clothes and fashion, the easier it becomes to actually enjoy style. One single garment or accessory can be worn in at least a dozen ways if you get really creative.  Need a little inspiration? Here it is!

A casual shirtdress can look sexy or smart depending on how you style it. Try cinching the waist of the dress with a belt and pair it with booties for a slightly edgy style.  If the dress is short enough like the one shown here, you can pair it with skinny jeans and heels. You could also wear this dress with a cute denim jacket or blazer for something that looks much more polished and put-together.

The Piece: Classic Black Dress Pants

A simple pair of black pants like this pair literally goes with everything! Pair it up with a sexy lace blouse for a hot date, with a tee and fun printed sweater for weekend shopping trips, or pair it with a nautical stripe top for warm spring days.

Do you remember the last episode of Project Runway(the one that aired October 8 2010)? They brought back some of this season’s former contestants to help the remaining contestants create 3 looks for Heidi Klum’s collaboration with New Balance to create modern fitness apparel for women. Well, its no secret that there is a lot of jealousy between the contestants and that one of them actually accused another of cheating! What was the crime? Using fashion tape to keep the model’s breasts from spilling out!

I don’t know all about the rules and regulations for the game, and Tim Gunn pawned this situation as a “He Said, She Said” thing; but I do know that a lot of women(actresses and models included) use fashion tape to keep from spilling out. Whats wrong with that? Nothing.

Moving on, I compiled a list of a few crucial accessories to keep close by and preferably inside a drawer. You’ll never know when you need them!

Fashionistas are creative people. As artists we like to curate new looks with the clothes we have, rediscover and configure the trends we long forgotten about to work for us now, and of course, shopping for more art to collect. But in our case, its wearable art that we store in our closets. Today’s fashionista is also economically wise, she knows about how to budget, and stick with it. Moreover, she knows how to shop smart buy purchasing clothes she can wear again and again. Pieces that you can work into your wardrobe for different looks on different occasions. Luckily for use, many stores have recognized this, and thus created one piece that can be styled in a variety of ways.

Long gone are the days of purchasing a dress only to become bored with it a week later, just convert to a halter or strapless style! Jumpsuits are all the rage this season, so instead of buying a whole closet full of them, buy one style that you can convert into a variety of looks. Here are 3 convertible items I am jonesing for and why.
