Sundressing

“That dress does things for you. Doesn’t do me any harm, either.”
Bob Hope, 1903 – 2003

Being easy, breezy and youthful, sundresses are the epitome of summer. Getting the right one for your bust size can be anything but easy and breezy. Here’s a quick primer on what to look for.

Full Cup

Ann Taylor Sundress

A high neckline will keep your bra hidden and eliminate any fears of spilling out. Make sure the dress fits you well under the bust to keep your figure curvy, not blocky.

Small Cup

Garnet Hill sundress Bust line details and slight gathering will emphasize and enhance a petite chest.

All Cups

Summer Rain

Mint Main - 1 year ago - Kathryn Lovell

“No tropical depression’s gonna steal my sun away.”
Mary Chapin Carpenter, b. 1958

I love summer rain and am pretending the little bit of drizzle here in San Francisco counts as the beginning of monsoon season. Clothing wise, it’s a challenge- you want to be cool and dry. And if you’re on vacation, it also needs to be packable. With a little bit of low pressure planning, you can beat the summer time rainy day wardrobe blues.

Silver Lining

Summer rain coat

Something lightweight and waterproof will keep you going on your merry way. Since summer is the season of frivolity, look for a bright color or feminine details.

Tiki Drinkable

Bright Umbrella, Crate and Barrel Why lug a black cloud around over your head? Instead, choose a bright cabana-inspired umbrella. This one’s eco chic and matches all sorts of tropical drinks.

A slight platform sandal with a rubber sole is the next best thing to men throwing their coats over puddles or carrying you across them.
