STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Less is More

My mom has always reminded me, less is more. This belief is especially true when the forecast predicts 90+ degrees for the upcoming week! The key to surviving the sticky weather is all in simplicity. It’s the perfect time to wear minimal accessories, and let a cute and simple dress act as the focal point of your look.

This Fashionista, spotted on Villanova’s West campus, is remaining cool despite the lingering summer heat. Her patterned slip dress offers a refreshing twist to the solid color options stores typically provide. The strappy back is an opportunity to keep things even more comfortable (hello bandeaus). The white braided sandals she chose are understated, yet perfect for the effortlessly chic outfit.

If this Fashionista has you longing for a new dress you’re in luck. I’ve done the “hard” work for you. There are several stores that offer a dress option like this! Urban Outfitters has a cute and reasonably priced dress that comes in 4 colors. Also check Brandy Melville’s option, too. If you already have one in your closet, mix things up with a bandeau underneath. The crochet racerback instantly adds a flirty touch. Feeling guilty buying another dress as the cooler season approaches? Don’t! Any of these look awesome with a long sweater and ankle boots. Summer to Fall transition? Done.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “There’s nothing worse than dealing with a fussy outfit! A dress like this is lightweight, cute and easy. It is definitely a go-to that everyone should own!”
