I suppose it was bound to happen… a pin board devoted to dresses that is. Summer is a mere 19 days away if we are going to be precise about it and yet the warmth of such is already here. Therefore I have been given more than the permission I need to frolic around in beautiful, floral fabrics right?

Creation of a new board started when I was having a bit of fun over at Polyvore and came across the above VIVIENNE WESTWOOD ANGLOMANIA short dress. Immediately I was in love with the bright colors and simple design that made this dress seem like a staple for my Summer wardrobe. However at $580 I’m going to have to put it to rest for the time being and search out similar floral designs that are more within my $$ range. Thankfully I found OASIS:

Floral Belted Dress $90

Vintage Rose Dress $145

Blue Floral Sundress $36

Placement Floral Dress $90

Oasis Paisley Dress $85

Aren’t these dresses charming? I can’t help but adore the splash of flowers and colors on each and how affordable they are too. For a limited time it appears that you can save even more with the following code:

How cool is that? Have fun shopping!

What is it about the color combination of black & white that makes such a statement to most people? Perhaps it is due to the absolute contrast of both as well as its overwhelming ability to mesh together so perfectly. I’m not sure I’ll ever truly understand its immense power to draw me in but whether displayed in a photograph, interior design or throughout a persons wardrobe the mixing of black and white almost always conjures up descriptive terms like classy, appealing, vintage, cool and timeless.
