Slip Out in This Dress!

By Bianca

It’s summertime, and that means less layers in the closet!  Light colors and light material is the motive for the upcoming hot weather.

Day or night it’s important to keep cool, but for fashionistas it’s also imperative to stay stylish.  There are many ways to keep cool and classy but I one of my favorite looks is the “Slip Dress.”  Silky and chic is the outcome when you “slip” on this one piece wonder! 

It may come across as odd to wear a slip know for being under your clothes, as your ensemble, but this style has been around for longer than you may think.   The proof is before your eyes; take a look at this photo of Liz Taylor (in the film, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) in her “Slip Dress.”  This timeless look has been worn for quite some time (as you can see).

You can’t go wrong with peach, coral or pink hues; neutral colors always work.  A simple platform pump or peep toes will compliment the dress along, with of course the appropriate jewelry accessories.  You could team up the slip dress with a nice set of pearls for a classy effect, maybe even a nice long necklace and/or chandelier earrings to take this look up a notch (as worn by the model in the slip dress photo showcased by Ralph Lauren).  A lengthy clutch to carry the essentials, and you have the ideal slip dress outfit.

As the summer arrives you see many new styles come into play. For instance, neutrals are worn as (basic) black would be (worn) in the winter season.  One thing is for sure, Camis (camisoles) are a must have for the summer season, be sure to always have a couple on hand.

There are many different ways to wear a cami for instance take a look at a shot from Rihanna's photo shoot for Armani's 2012 Summer ad. The silk cami with the lace trim is an absolute fave for any summer event. That's right I mean you can wear this cami as outer wear instead of just in your bedroom.  To make it even more interesting combine this silky top with a blazer! Yes, a blazer; it is the perfect look for meeting up with a friend for lunch, going out for a happy hour, or even work! If you have a top such as this one Rihanna is wearing (pattern), be sure to team it up with a bare blazer.  This will surely give you the statement outfit you are looking for, with minimal effort.
