This is one you can’t miss as it’s flattering on most everyone and all body types. Embrace the iconic style of DVF — the wrap dress!
It’s getting a little edgier and more chic this season though — with high slits on the side or plunging necklines in the front. The patterns are more fun and the comfort can’t be beat!
My new fave line is KELLNER – a new deliciously luxe brand (out of Cali! woot woot!) that mixes the timeless feminine silhouettes of the ’50s with the needed comfort of the now. As a mom of two, I constantly need to bend over, reach high, dash to the left, catch to the right. And I’m telling you – these have the feel of pajamas. Yummy and luxurious. They need to make pajamas and bathrobes for real though. Their material is ridick. Ya hear me, KELLNER?
