Devil's in the Details

This summer has been pretty unforgiving with these super high temps! My love of sack dresses has come in really handy in getting a little dressed up while still trying to beat the heat! I think the key to pulling off a great sack dress is to pick dresses with great details. 

First off, I'm madly in love with this color. How could I not be?? :) And the interesting neck with the folded pleat both front and back, flutter sleeves and standing pleat detail just make it for me!

I added a bold beaded necklaces for a bit of extra flare and a bright shoe that mimicked the darker color in the necklace to add a bit of color blocking.

P.S. One of the big trends for fall is berry bursts of color...I'm going to be all over that one.



Here's what I'm wearing:
Dress - Avenue via OneStopPlus
Necklace - Ashley Stewart
Ring (2010) - Off Saks
