Paige's Pick: "Dress" To Impress

Since summer's right around the corner, and the weather actually seems to be co-operating, I've had many people coming in inquiring about summer dresses. I have an announcement to make: we have TONS of dresses, ones for each and every occasion. Below, I've chosen three different "stand out" dresses for inspiration.

This first outfit I chose for "everyday" wear, whether you're going out for lunch, or have casual Fridays at work. I started with Velvet's "Kaela" dress in Firecracker, and paired it with AG's "Harper" denim jacket in Topanga Embroidery. For shoes, I've chosen one of my favorite pairs in the store, Ash's "Jessica" booties in Taupe. Finally, I added House of Harlow's "White Sand Starburst Station Necklace" in Yellow Gold. I would also recommend building an arm party using both Chan Luu and Jocelyn Kennedy bracelets. If you feel like showing your true Albertan roots, try pairing this Velvet dress with cowboy boots and a white denim jacket!

I put this next outfit together for a dinner function. I chose Rebecca Taylor's "Eyelet Smocked" dress and Ash's "Dune" booties, both in Black. I accessorized simply with a necklace, but adding some funky beaded bracelets would give this outfit a more updated feel. This classic dress would be perfect for an evening out without you having to give your outfit too much thought. For a more formal affair, try putting this dress with black pumps and LOTS of sparkly accessories. This dress will NEVER steer you wrong if you need a last minute outfit, after all, black NEVER goes out of style!

This next outfit is definitely my favorite of the three I put together. I chose Parker's "Allegra" dress in Sand and Melissa's "Temptation" shoes in Nude. For jewelry, I layered on Catherine Popesco "Collette Necklaces" in Smoke and Rosewater. The intricate beading and feathers are what make this dress SOOOOO special. This outfit would be perfect for a summer wedding or perhaps a 1920's party...very Gatsby, wouldn't you say?!?
