Dress It Up


August is here!  We've had such a mild summer here in southern CA and I'm hoping for more of this gorgeous weather.  I'm always looking for a cute little dress to wear to church, dinner, or even a day at the museum.  It's hard to find dresses that are both flattering and inexpensive, so I was thrilled when I found Simons.  They have a dress page that has some of the flirty, fun dresses we all love.  Here are a few of my favorites...but of course, I'm loving the chevron print.  Have a great day!

A Dress For Every Occasion



A Dress for Every Occasion

Knowing what type of dress to choose for different occasions can be a bit of a minefield, and a lot of the time many women find themselves reaching for trousers and a top to play it safe. There are so many styles of dress available that you never need be short of something to wear, you just need to know how to wear them and when. Every woman can look fabulous in a dress no matter her shape or size, and with great value figure flattering dresses from ASDA George your new look needn’t cost the earth.

There are many fantastic prints in fashion this summer and no matter what style of dress you opt for, you will find loads of colorful variations to choose from. Find the shape and design that suits your own taste, style and of course your figure.

Maxi
Maxi dresses are fantastic for the hot summer days and evenings alike. They are cool during the day but warm enough to wear outside in the balmy summer nights. Maxi dresses can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. For a wedding add accessories to make it dressier and wear with heels or pretty flats. To wear to a BBQ or out shopping, team your maxi with flats and simple accessories for a classic summery look. This type of dress best suits those with a boyish frame and can help make you look taller. Different cuts of maxi are available to suit those with larger busts, hips or both and it is a dress that is highly adaptable.

Wrap-around
The wrap-around is an old favorite that never goes out of style. This is a fabulous look for those lucky enough to have an hourglass figure, as it accentuates all the right curves and hides any sins with the gathered fabric in the middle. Wrap-around dresses come in different lengths depending on your preference, with longer skirts more suited to work wear and shorter for summer parties and drinks. You can choose to have a sleeved or sleeveless variation of this style depending on whether you want to cover up or show off some sun-kissed skin. George at ASDA has some great value wrap dresses that can be adapted for any event or season.



Mini
First made famous in the sixties, the mini dress is very much here to stay. Show off your bronzed gams to their full extent by pairing a mini with heels, or dress down and keep cool in flats. Wear the shortest minis to the beach and save the down to the knee dresses for cocktails or dining out. If you have the confidence you can wear a mini dress regardless of age, shape or size as these classic dresses are available in figure-hugging or looser fits, it’s all about how you carry yourself in it. Walk tall and you’ll look fabulous.

Dresses are a great way to look glam wherever you are, and whatever you’re doing. Whether a black-tie event or a day by the sea, put the trousers and shorts away and get in touch with your feminine side in a dress.
