SUMMER DRESSES: BUDGET VS. LUXURY

Summer is in the air, my first beach holiday of the season is just around the corner and all I can think about is dresses. I have to admit, dresses is not something I have a lot of – not because I don’t think they can look nice, simply because I struggle finding ones that I feel comfortable in (never wanting to be too feminine, dressy or overly polished – depending on the occasion, of course). When that said, summer is the season of parties, events, weddings, beach and city holidays – and for once, I have managed to find some pretty amazing ones – which I for one, would be more than happy to wear this summer.
