Spring/Summer dresses!

May 25, 2010 by Clueless Fashionista

I have never been a fan of wearing dresses. Aside from my general disdain at having to be careful when wearing something other than pants or shorts, I have the hardest time finding dresses that properly fit my shape. I have a large bust so finding dresses that fit my bust area and the rest of me can be a challenge.

With this in mind, I just decided not to wear dresses any more to solve the problem. However, last summer with the increased popularity of the maxi dress, I decided to give them a try and now I’m sold. I even wrote a post about it on the shopittome blog www.blog.shopittome.com/2009/07/23/take-a-maxi-dress-from-summer-to-fall While I don’t have as many dresses as I would like, I do have many more than I have since my mom was buying my clothes when I was a kid. The great thing about dresses is that they’re one piece. You put it on and viola, you’re dressed. All you need to worry about is shoes and possible accessories and you’re ready to roll.

There are some great dresses out there in wonderful patterns and colors and I wanted to share some with you along with a picture of me in one of my dresses. I want you all to go out and get an easy, breezy dress to wear for the summer. They’re not all expensive either. You can check out Walmart, Target or my favorite, Dots and find a dress for under $30.

This is a great example of a floral print that’s not too overwhelming and will look great on almost anyone.

This is a cute maxi dress in a great print that will make you stand out in a good way.

Vertical stripes is very universally flattering.

This is me in one of my wonderfully flowing maxi dresses. it’s like wearing pajamas and the print is great but not too overwhelming.

Don’t be afraid of a great printed dress. I would love to get pictures of you wearing your great summer dresses. Share them with me and I will feature them on an upcoming blog post. I was inspired to write this post by a great blog that has more great dresses on it. Check it out www.sapphirewhispermagazine.blogspot.com/2010/05/spring-fever.html and enjoy!
