ONE SUMMER PIECE Dress Up, Dress Down

Summer is by far my favorite season of the year. And I love that summer fashion can be just plain simple and fun: like take an on-trend piece such as this ombré dress from Young, Fabulous & Broke, and dress it up or down to take full advantage of those long, sunny days and warm, scintillating nights…

DRESS
ombré dress, Young, Fabulous & Broke, $185

UP
fuchsia foldover clutch, Gorjana, $154
 silver cuff, Stella & Dot, $98
hologram snakeskin sandal, B Brian Atwood, $157  (sale)

DOWN
panama hat, J.Crew, $58
crochet tote, Tory Burch, $395
chunky heel sandal, Luxury Rebel, $130 

/

A versatile solution for summer vacations too!
