A charming strapless maxi dress so you can bask in the golden glow of the sun and feel the warmth on your shoulders bring you to life...without getting *too* hot, of course.
Promising review: "This is the perfect dress for spring and summer. Looks adorable with a denim jacket and sandals. I also paired it with a cream-colored cardigan. It's a little big in the chest, but I think the next size down would have been too tight. I love the Somerset collection." —DenisePrice: $168 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in six colors/patterns)
A polka-dot poplin pleated mini skirt (holy alliteration!) to add some cute retro energy to your next summer stroll.
Promising review: "I purchased this in plus size but could have worn the XL. The elastic waist insert makes it very comfortable. The pleats make it full but I paired it with the dark brown Tobie belted pleated waist short-sleeve shirt and it was perfect! Many compliments. Pockets allowed me to leave my purse at home for an evening out on a hot summer night." —Cessa56Price: $148 (available in sizes XXS–3X)
A soft-yellow scoop-neck, drop-waist dress so you can *literally* be as pretty as a daisy. This features lovely daisy detailing in addition to a cute bow-tie back cutout — I love! 🥰
Promising review: "I'll be honest, I was hesitant to buy it because of the price. Avoided it even. Finally caved and kicked myself for having not just ordered it as soon as I saw it. It's so cute, can be dressed up or down. The perfect flowy and oversized fit." —BRod"Loved this! It was super comfortable and fit well. It is pretty low cut, and I had to wear pasties. I loved the overlay, and the liner was not see-through." —BaileybeePrice: $139.95 (originally $228; available in sizes XXS–XL)
A cotton wide-leg, short-sleeve jumpsuit for ~effortlessly cool~ summer fashion. No thinking, no discomfort, and no sweating here — just pure style. 😎
Promising review: "I want to wear this every day. It has structure and is cute, but it feels like you're wearing sweatpants. I get so many compliments. The V-neck is too deep, but I wear a tank or long sleeve under it, and it's fine. Size down at least one size, maybe two if you don't like it so baggy." —Kemarie"Absolutely awesome! So glad I ordered this cute comfortable jumpsuit! Light weight enough to wear in the 70 degree weather and will be a fall staple! So happy with this purchase! Want a second color!" —ShopperPrice: $78 (originally $138; available in sizes XXS–XL, petite and plus sizes, and in four colors)

This is the first time I ordered a medium of anything with buttons; my chest fits, but it cinches at the waist perfectly. The fabric feels so soft and slightly stretches.
