The Summer Dress Edit

Signature Style: Show Some Shoulder!

Badgley Mischka Gown

Do you have a signature style? I bet that you do. Mine is the "off the shoulder" look. Because I don't like to go sleeveless, this look keeps me cool, and looking a bit less covered up. They say that our shoulders are the last body part to show age, and I am taking full advantage of that. If you haven't tried the style. Here's 13 reasons you should.

L'Agence Scarf Top & Wide Leg Pants

Styled in satin and a summer standout! This one shoulder look is as alluring as off the shoulder. {After clicking the link, scroll down to see pants.}

Neiman Marcus

One Shoulder Midi

Here's your not so little LBD for summer. It's made from a ponte fabric that holds its' shape for a very pulled together look.

Me & Em
