Giving The Cold Shoulder

summer dress - off the shoulder - cold shoulderThe biggest trend of the spring (and summer) is off the shoulder dress. They can be styled all manner of ways from feminine to bohemian. With this airy flowing summer dress, the open shoulder was the prefect touch to keep the tomato red number from looking dated and moomoo-like. Overall, it’s the perfect piece for a summer date night. Feminine and modest with a hint of skin showing above a conservative (to some) neckline.
For those of you like myself who hesitate to go completely bare shouldered, try a cold shoulder look first. It has the feel of an off the shoulder top but with the safety of camisole straps.

Have you tried the off the shoulder trend? Let me know what you think in the comments below!

    I love this dress on you! And I definitely agree that straps make this trend much more wearable! I get a little nervous wearing off-the-shoulder styles but am finally starting to get used to them.

  15. I love everything about this dress on you! You look so breezy and carefree. I, however, am hesitant to try the off the shoulder trend because my shoulders literally get too cold. But you are definitely owning this look! Thanks for inspiring.

      Thank you Shelbee! You’re too sweet! I was also on the fence for a long time about off the shoulder tops. Luckily it was 80 degrees the day I wore this dress and it was perfect for that sort of weather
