Summer Dresses

What do you invest on when summer arrives?
A good swimsuit, a nice pair of shorts and lots of dresses! What’s so good about wearing dresses in summer is that it can work great as a cover-up at the beach, easy to slip on and undress, and very comfortable even in the heat.

Whether you are asking for help with resume making or hanging out with friends, these types of dresses are perfect for any summer day:

Go classic with stripes:

Or tribal:

While spring is all pastel and flowery, summer is bright and bold. Florals are a hit:

How about a nautical inspired shift maxi dress:

Nude Shoes: Perfect Shoes for the Summer

Aside from camping and curt trailer hitches, beach parties, luaus and BBQ grill get-togethers are staple events during the summer. As with parties, dressing up is a given – and whether you dress in a cute maxi dress, a nautical shirt dress, a floral short dress or even sexy boy shorts, nude shoes or pumps are going to be best bet for shoes!

Just like the little black dress (LBD), all girls should own a nude shoe, whether it be a basic pump, a summer sandal, or a simple ballet flat. Invest in the one shoe that will match literally everything in your wardrobe. Bright, printed wrap dress at work? Pair with a nude heel. Neon skinny jeans? Go for a nude flat. Floral dresses and skirts? A basic nude sandal will pull it together. Personally, owning a nude in every style would not be a bad idea.

Jellyshoes are BACK!

You better believe it, jelly shoes are making a comeback – Marc Jacobs and Missoni have picked the classic childhood shoe favorite up and it is bound to be a staple footwear choice for the warmer seasons. (Very much like how business insurance is a staple choice – as in NO CHOICE – for business owners :P )

Here is what SheFinds has to say:

A combination of a rain resistant shoe, a childhood memory, and a ballet flat the jelly flats will let your feet breathe easy and bring about nostalgia over the days of jelly sandals worn at (well, in) the pool and ocean. The perfect worry-free show, the jelly is a no brainer. Although it may not be the most stylish thing you own (it has the ugly cute thing going), we promise it will see much wear this spring and summer.

Fashion Trend: Caramel & White

White is a staple for summer and there is a hot color that can go along with it that will make your outfits sophisticated enough for work and elegant enough to go on lunch and dinner dates! It’s casual enough to do errands like mail cd mailers and formal enough to go out with friends on a Friday night!

Take a look:

How’s this for an attention-getting daytime look? Pair your caramel-colored Spring leather top with a pair of crisp white skinny jeans, then add striped wedges and a sweep of bold tangerine lipstick.


Tuck a pretty white blouse into a caramel-hued pleated leather skirt, and slip into a pair of cool colorblock sandals. For extra polish, add a beaded collar necklace.
