What to wear
THE PERFECT LOOK FOR A GARDEN PARTY
July 30, 2008
 

Ahh- a beautiful sunny day, acres of luscious greenery and joyful games of barefoot crocket… Summer is all about maximizing your days outside and what better way to soak the rays than at a lovely garden party with your oldest and dearest friends.

 

Lightweight summer dresses feel great, look great and are just the thing to keep you cool and chic even when suffering in 30-degree weather.

When shopping for the perfect summer dress, look for key details like a cowl neck at the top, which feminine and sophisticated yet still subtle enough to leave something to the imagination. Ruching at the middle hides even the slightest little body flaw, and a flouncy ballerina-style skirt is simple, neat and adds a touch of romanticism to the look. Just make sure the hemline is hitting just above the knee, or you may risk looking shorter than you really are.

For accessories, nothing says Old Hollywood glamour more than pearls. Remember seeing Sarah Jessica Parker in her latest girly flick wearing pearls to bed? Divine.

Layer on a few pearl necklaces and a pearl ring as the perfect addition to a whimsical summer frock. A matching bow headband and patent shoe polish off this perfectly prim look.
