Un rendez-vous amoureux

This dress is wonderful for a summer date night - it's made of thick T-shirt material (=cool), it is stylishly interesting (+not typical of what everyone else is wearing), it is a bit shorter (+sexier for the hubby) and it is no nonsense (=throw on and go)! Oh and it was on sale (=double bonus)! Maybe the only thing missing to make this dress 100% perfect is some cute little pockets, but honestly, that would take away from the fit the more I think about that. It's sleek and fitted, yes, but it's the cut, which is done so well, that makes the dress look body hugging without actually hugging tight, or being annoying, or feeling constricting. I didn't tug, pull or fuss once when I had this dress on. Note that there is a big hidden zipper on the side to make putting this on (and taking it off) very easy and non-frustrating.

The big knot on the side takes your eye there, immediately to the waist, helping to keep the eye moving upward and to the side, which is visually stimulating and keeps it interesting.

I threw on a comfy pair of 'barely there' fuchsia sandals, simple gold jewelry and put my hair up in a clip. Not having a lot of fuss with other stuff; hair, makeup, colors, etc. allowed the 'knot' to be the main focus, while keeping the outfit looking summery and casual but with a bit more refinement for an evening out.

Absolutely this could be a day to evening dress so easily. During the day a simple pair of sneakers or slip-ons would do the trick if you needed to cruise around town. Couple the look with a straw hat and a light straw bag and you are rocking the grocery store! For the evening, depending on your climate, don't forget to grab a light pretty wrap or even a jean jacket to throw over your shoulders.

Happy day ladies! Stay cool, stay hydrated, stay adorable, kind and positive.
