I think I could live in gauzy thin sundresses all summer long so I get a little bit giddy when I find a great one.  This black cotton dress is so stunning simple, which makes it the perfect canvas for playing with prints and patterns through accessories.  I paired a colorfully embroidered belt and a subtle hint of snake-skin for a backyard birthday party this weekend to create a festively fun (and comfortable!) look.
