The look for the season is effortless style and nothing says effortless than a maxi or patio dress. These long frocks are a must for the spring and summer weather when all you want to do is relax by the waterfront with friends while sipping on margaritas. The secret to looking fab in patio dresses is to pick a silhouette that flatters your figure. Show of your back, arms or your tiny waist in different cuts and styles. Remember to have fun with the dresses. Bold prints and vibrant colors are chic. For a toned down look, simply pair a necklace, earrings and flats or kitten heels. If you want to vamp it up for night, put on heels, and accessorize. Here are a few of my favorite looks.
