The Trend: Bright Color
Suze says: If it's one color that says "summer" this year, it's geranium. This feminine and flirty dress from Jonathan Martin at Overstock.com transitions effortlessly from day to night.
Ruffles give it a romantic feel, without adding extra pounds, as ruffles can sometimes do.
Here are the accessories you saw with the dress:
Sunglasses: Shop4Sparkles.com, $15
Necklace: Zad, $20
Bangles: Zad, $20
Bag: Bakers, $50
Shoes: Aldo, $50
The Trend: Go Tribal.
Suze says: You can beat the heat and look great in this tribal dress from Fire. The cotton fabric and fuller skirt make it comfortable for the hottest weather, and the shorter length makes it ideal for pairing it with flat sandals for maximum comfort.
The mix of safari and tribal prints is on trend for the summer fashion season, and the shape of the dress compliments various body types.
