In Full Effect

Hola Chicas!

I don't know how it is where you are, but here on the east coast the summer sun is in full effect. We've been experiencing 90+ degree weather for weeks now. Thank goodness that for this summer season less can be more. With many designers using simple, chic white designs in their S/S 2010 collections this trend is coming to streets near you.
In my quest for a white dress, that wasn't matronly or wedding-ish, I came across this Monif C. design. You'd think finding a white dress in the middle of summer wouldn't be so hard. Unfortunately Nordstrom, Saks, Lane Bryant, Igigi, Kiyonna, all of my faves failed me in my quest. But this dress hit the nail on the head just when I was becoming desperate. White? Check. Chic? Check. Not overwrought or over thought? Check! Pair this dress with a pair of neutral shoes to keep the clean look of the outfit and you will have the ultimate summer ensemble on your hands.

The dress can be found at monifc.com
The shoes are sexy and come with a stacked heel that provides a bit more sturdiness than stilettos. They are by Michael Kors and can be found at Nordstrom either in stores or online at nordstrom.com
