A New Day Women's Sleeveless Smocked Waist Dress A New Day Women's Sleeveless Smocked Waist Dress ($28) comes in so many colors, it's nearly impossible to pick a favorite (especially between this pale pink and the black gingham option)
Both are lightweight and resistant, although the flannel is somewhat less breathable: that makes it rather unsuitable for summer, and much more suited to winter
Suitable for cocktail parties, clubbing, and formal gatherings
How often do you find a piece that marries elegance with functionality like this
And if you cant bear to pack it away, toss a long sleeve shirt on underneath for year-round wear
Style with strappy metallic heels and a compact clutch for formal occasions, or dress down slightly with embellished flats and delicate jewellery for sophisticated dinner dates
