A Cut Above

Short or long, flowing or structured, it doesn’t matter—when the weather is warm and sunny, there is nothing I love more than a summer dress. When I came across this Cut-Out Back Dress by ASOS (approximately $43, asos.com), I instantly knew that I had to have it. The front looks very prim and proper, thanks to skirt pleating and apron pockets, so you could wear it to work with a light cardigan. But on a hot summer day or long summer night (Happy Hour, anyone?), you’ll be sure to turn heads when you reveal the subtly sexy details of the low-scoop open back with baby doll buttons aligned down its center. I love it (in blue and red)!
