When it comes to Fall and Winter, I've got my style philosophy down. I know what I like, what I don't, what works for me and what doesn't. Summer is a bit more challenging for me. Summer's got me stumped. Clothes are smaller, more skin is shown, more SPF must be applied (at least in my case) - I honestly think it makes me a little uncomfortable. But I noticed a pattern in my closet - dresses, and lots of them. A good summer dress is like a one pot meal - quick and easy, and all the ingredients are there. Finding pieces that speak for themselves sounds obvious, but I think most of us have a closet of dresses that are just so-so.

Here's a roundup of some amazing dresses that leave the guesswork out of the equation and aren't boring in the least:

1. // 2. // 3. // 4. // 5.

All of these would look perfect with greek sandals or a nude pump. Add some dainty gold jewelry (from SeaAndCake, perhaps?) and you're done. Sounds good, right?

Have a great day, folks :)
