Backless

Some design elements always get me – a pretty shade of pink, bows, and anything backless! I think a great backless top or dress allows you to be demure up-front, but also have a surprise element of drama.

Well, when I saw this backless dress from The Odells, I absolutely fell in love. A brand I hadn’t heard of before, I was instantly obsessed with their minimal and easy, breezy sensibility. For this dress, the sexy backless detail was a show-stopper, but I also loved the bronze shade of the fabric. I wore my dress while on vacation in Savannah with a straw boater and lace-up sandals. When it got a little cooler in the evening, I threw on a crew-neck black sweater and the dress instantly became a beautiful skirt. I’m all about flexibility like that! I can also see myself wearing this dress with flat leopard sandals and with my hair up further accentuate the back. Now I’ve got a new brand to keep an eye on for more Summer dresses!
