I wish you could feel this dress. It is the softest, lightest, most wonderful comfy cotton that everyone would have for summer. The top half is a bit sheer, adding to the light feel of this perfect summer frock. Long sleeves are wonderful for the cooler summer nights, or air-conditioned places that always require a light wrap when inside.
The lower portion is appropriately lined, and with the light, loose waist tie I felt like I was wearing my robe. I paired it with my favorite summer sandals, but it would also be adorable with slip-on sneakers for day, or a cute wedge for the evening. The blue tie-dye is bit bohemian, but not over the top or too much to where it looks like I'm trying to re-live my youth of the 80's. hahaahaa!
I bought the dress at a local beach store, so I think you could find something very similar at a local shop in your town. During the day I carried a very light back pack in the same hues as the dress.For evening you can throw on a nicer shoe (but still casual, so no stilletos). Think wedges, a simple kitten-heel, etc. a smaller clutch; possible in a raffia fabric-or even a light suede in soft pink or yellow.
