Day to Evening Summer Dresses

pin it

In my opinion, dresses are the easiest thing to wear. One piece of clothing. That’s it! You don’t have to match a top with a bottom whether it be a skirt, pants or shorts.

Dresses can be so versatile. One of my favorite styles is a shift or a spin-off of a shift.

Remember the shift dress from the 60’s?

It’s my understanding that a shift dress has no defined waist and skims the body but is not form-fitting. I don’t know about you, but that has comfort written all over it! The original shift dress was sleeveless, but today you can find them with sleeves and a variety of necklines.

You can dress up, or dress down almost any shift dress. With a change of accessories, you can take the same dress from day to evening.

Dresses are great for summer travel. Seven dresses hardly take up any room in a suitcase!

Baring Your Legs and Feet for Summer

The hardest part about transitioning from winter pants and boots is going to bare white legs! That’s where self-tanning comes in! Just as shift dresses have evolved since the 60’s, so has self-tanners. No more orange and streaky tans. Read my post, 5 Self Tanning Tips When Sun Tanning Isn’t an Option. These products give me a gentle sun-kissed look.

 

I also love these two products found in my post Best Products for Dry, Cracked Heels to get my feet ready for summer sandals.  

Thanks for stopping by.
