The Little White Frock Photo by ShengGeng Lin on Unsplash "Summer sundresses. Cool, calm, and collected" Kim Hardwick Summer has arrived early in the Pacific Northwest. The temperature has been soaring in the 90's, which is not typical for this time of year. We have skipped spring and are sailing straight into summer. Of course, this means, out come the sundresses, shorts, bathing suits and anything that keeps you cool, calm and collected.

It's a Wrap - 40th Anniversary Journey of a Dress - Diane von Furstenberg The iconic jersey wrap dress embellished by Diane von Furstenberg in 1972/73 by using elastic, synthetic fabrics remains forefront and center in a Forever Chic Style maven's closet.

I am reminded of Christmas when retrieving my summer apparel from the depths of my closet. I have forgotten all the beautiful pieces that I own. These numbers signal sunshine, barbeques, laughter, reading on the deck and much more. Sun dresses, shorts, bathing suits and everything light and airy for hot days. Such joy! What am I obsessed with right now? Well, a button down blue and white striped shirt ! A definite classic for your wardrobe. The sail away hues symbolize a timeless choice for work, play or as a beach cover up. The blue and white stripe shirt is second to the ever timeless white shirt. The way to wear the shirt is to tuck in one side and leave the other side out. Or make a knot at bottom of top. Wear with jeans, shorts and sandals. Add a pair of gold earrings and add a sw...
