The Search for the Perfect Summer Dress!!

It's that time again, ladies! Summer's about to hit, and every fashionista is in the throes of a wardrobe re-vamp. What a better place to start than with the perfect summer dress? Whether your style is flirty, swingy, short, long, printed, striped, or strapless, all the best brands are introducing fresh new picks for the season. Below are just a few examples from my favorite sites:
Ella Moss Yasemin Strapless Maxi Dress, $191, Shopbop
Light, bright, and strapless! Perfect as a coverup or for a casual outdoor lunch.
Karen Zambos Vintage Couture St. Barts Dress, $175 (On Sale!!), Shopbop
This one just SCREAMS yacht party, doesn't it? (Or maybe just some shopping in the Art District with the girls)
Mara Hoffman Print Sleeveless Draped Dress, $352, shopbop
Just the right length, with great visual interest in both the shape and print. I could see myself out clubbing in this!
And for more modest price ranges...
Three-Tone Silk Dress, $40, Forever21
Luxurious silk-chiffon dip dyed and banded to create a bit darker take on the sundress- but still just as fun!
Lux Braidstrap Print Dress, $58, Urban Outfitters
A bit more casual, with an interesting pattern...perfect with a pair of ballet flats or this summer's "it" shoe- the gladiator!!
Tuck Jersey Dress, $58, Urban Outfitters
Another multi-functional number: by day, a coverup; by night, club attire! Cut in a super-flirty length and style. Not to mention an eye-catching color! Rock on!!
Just think - I found all of these wonderful pieces (and so many more that it would take days to post them all) in just about an hour or so of surfing. If you're still searching, as I am, for that perfect summer dress, please share your amazing finds with me as well!
