Looking for an inexpensive dress that really packs a punch?  Mystic’s lace top dress is worth a try-on.  Its semi-sheer bodice, keyhole back and pretty peplum will definitely turn heads.  Try her with colorful heels and/or earrings for an alternate styling option.

If you’ve missed out on one of our other Stop Staring dresses that always seem to sell out quickly, you’ll want to hurry in to try this lovely lace darling.  With a pretty bow and keyhole in the back, lace print and vintage fit, what’s not to love?

Aren’t the colors of this dress just divine?  We love its pretty fit & flare cut mixed with the floaty chiffon’s playful stripes.  You’ll love mixing things up with different belts and jackets/cardigans.  It plays well with almost any of the 22 shades of butter LONDON nail polishes that we now carry.  Breigh has on ten here and they all look great!

This boxy-cut cube top has been one of our favorite styles since last year.  We’ve stocked it in numerous colors but this pale blue is a first for us.  It’s so flowy and light that you can get away with wearing it in the summertime and we just love it tucked into this flouncy green skirt.  Pile on your favorite accessories and don’t forget to do your nails… you’ll be well dressed and ready for any barbecue or brunch the summer has in store for you.

Convertible pieces like this circle skirt from Butter by Nadia are perfect for taking on trips! Wear Butter’s skirt like Sierra here, or fold it over at the waist to make it a bit shorter, pull it up to make it either a knee-length (unfolded) or shorter strapless dress (folded over at the bust).  Tuck-in souvenir tees or pull-on a denim jacket for endless versatility.  You’ll be happy to have a lighter suitcase and more room to fill it up while you’re there.  Viajes felices!
