Summer Party Season Heats Up! (pun intended ☺)

Looooove this time of year! I can walk out of my front door without the burden of a heavy coat…it feels as if I’m free! We have finally switched out our winter clothes (buh-bye freezing April!!) and taken stock of our spring/summer wardrobe. Basics: ✔ Work attire: ✔ But party attire? There are so many different party themes and venues in the summer there is basically an outfit for almost every occasion! Here's what you need to be prepared. 

Backyard BBQ

You could opt for the usual shorts or short sundress but a maxi fits the bill. This maxi, with its on-trend, peasant-inspired, shoulder-baring bodice, has a fluid skirt to keep you comfortable and cool. No detail was spared! Intricate and contrasting patterns are woven throughout the dress. And the tiered skirt and tassels? An extra, added bonus! 

Rooftop Cocktail Party under the Stars

Make a statement in this gorgeous jumpsuit!  The fabric is a super-comfortable knit that lets your body naturally breathe in the warmer months. The smocked, elastic waistband falls flatteringly at mid-hip and allows for a soft drape of the bodice. And the back? Too sexy for words. 

Summer Garden Party

We all have those super-creative friends who throw garden party-themed celebrations. Grab your prettiest dress, a fun pair of heels, and you are ready to go!The advantage to updating your summer party wardrobe? The clothing can double for weddings!
