Summer Dresses

Before it's too late!

Welcome to the 5 Things summer dress preview. Sometimes I get so consumed by ideas that the seasonal staples get lost in the shuffle. All of a sudden its mid February and I’m just now telling you how to winterize your outfits! I’m determined to not let “best summer dresses” go the way of coats, a story I meant to publish in Sept and didn’t get to your inbox until Dec. 10.

So today (at the beginning of May no less!), summery, daytime dresses that will work for everyday. Hopefully they’ll continue on to your beach weekend, neighbor’s barbecue and best friend’s brunchy birthday, too.

What we are not talking about today is wedding guest dressing. It’s a different beast, for another time. (Do we need a 2024 update?!) That’s not to say some of these dresses couldn’t be worn to a wedding. But my intentions here are to get you into a dress in the morning in the most elegant and easy way for iced coffee season.

There are…more than five dresses today. I simply couldn’t fit every subcategory (short! long! prints! shockingly sexy t-shirt dresses!) onto one hand. But She is still a tight edit. And as always, the most important criteria being dresses that are the most perfect versions of themselves.
