Summer Dresses, comfortable, classy and fun!

Many of my clients are shocked when I bring them day dresses and recommend they wear them when running errands, taking the kids to the park or just hanging out at home.  They think they are only to be worn to parties or out at night.  Let me highlight some of the reasons dresses during the day are a YES!

1.  Show some leg, many don't mind their calves and won't wear shorts.
2.  At the right length and given the right cut, they are so comfortable.
3.  The airflow can't be beat, so cool on a warm day.
4.  They are much more stylish than shorts.
5.  Given the right dress they are super flattering.  Everyone can find the right day dress.  I promise.
6.  Why not look better than that other woman wearing her knee length cargo shorts?

Here is a dress I just bought in April for $40 that I wore yesterday to the mall.  I had it with a cardigan sweater over the top and a pair of ballet flats.  (I actually left the house in heels and then when my dogs started barking I changed to my backup flats)  This dress works for me because it has at tight bodice, and pleats at my waist which give the illusion that I actually have one.

The dress is from Jessica Simpson and I know many of you have mixed feelings about her but let me tell you the woman has made millions from her line of clothing and accessories.  I would say 98% of it is cute, stylish and wearable for most women.  Also, you have to love that she isn't a size 2!

The shoes you see in the is picture I picked up for $25 on an end of season clearance.  I love the red.  www.francosarto.com

That finishes off my spending for April.  Now on to May and preparing for my trip to Miami.
