Speaking of Mary Dresses, this casual dress is one of the cutest frocks I’ve come across this summer. It’s got a vintage, slightly prairie vibe that’s modernized by the color palette. I love the sweet details via an exaggerated point collar, belt waist, and slightly puffy shoulders. Do I have somewhere to wear it? Nope. Do I care? Also nope. I may or may not be shopping for next summer’s wardrobe, and I’m entirely okay with that.
Vintage-Inspired Midi Dress
I love a monochrome look, and always have. While each runway season presents new, trendy takes on the all-one-color look, there’s no doubt that monochromatic dressing is a timeless classic. Think Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast At Tiffany’s or Funny Face ensembles or the many times Jackie Kennedy donned head-to-toe pastels. There’s something about color continuity that’s sophisticated and aspirational—the question is, how does one pull it off?
If you’re nervous about trying a monochromatic look (like the red ensemble I’m donning today) have no fear. It doesn’t require a PhD or a celebrity stylist, just knowledge of a few tricks.
