Dress like a woman....

Category:

Does wearing a dress define you 'as a woman'? Does it mean anything at all, in our ultra 'anything goes' society? What does it mean to you? Whether you're a committed dress wearer or not, we can't help but feel a tiny bit sorry for men on an ultra hot day, that they cannot throw on a dress!  There is no prohibition rule, however unless feeling like a street sign all day is compelling...this is probably why most don't. Just a guess! Plum has plenty of dress options, for the hot days here and ahead.

Take a peak:

This delightful little dress really can't help but make you happy. It's just lush with fresh, mesmerizing patterns and a multitude of colours. Sweet, easy v-neck, with gathered, empire waist and pockets. It just screams comfort and fun. And once again, the designer does not disappoint with a lovely, low back detail.

Simone sun dress with back gathers and pockets in 4 lovely prints $ 110 now $ 88

I don't think anything says 'summer' more than the strapless dress (maybe a sun hat)...top shirring makes for great comfort and a sweeping maxi length. A tie in the middle can be tied as a bow or as a halter around the neck. For a bit more coverage, can be worn with a shrug or short kimono if a little more coverage is needed (or to conceal bra straps). Either way, a great pick!

Alythea bandeau dress (navy/green) $ 85

Here's a dress that has somewhat of a goddess like feel to it. Divinely draped, giving it an elegant edge despite it's knit fabrication. Definitely a high fashion look, yet has not lost it's comfort value.

Pursue drape dress (black/heather grey) $89 now $69

Another fantastic dress where colour and pattern pack a huge punch. Comprised of a butter soft fabric combination of rayon/spandex with side slit. Do not be intimidated by the deep slit at the back. So easy to pick out a colour from the dress and find a cami if not wearing a bra is out of the question. Great for dressing up or down; and my feeling is the footwear choice creates the conversion.

Cherish sheath dress (multi or navy) $89

So, after exploring a multitude of dress style variations, what's the verdict? Can a dress define you as a woman? I think not! Do not let the dress define you...YOU define the dress...make it your own (or wear shorts ;) ).

Snow birds

Welcome to 2015. Hoping the holiday's were fun and joy filled with lots of get-to-gethers and great food. But that's all so 2014. Some of you fortunate ones have plans to escape the boredom and cold of January and possibly February. According to National Geographic, some of the top 10 beaches in the world, are directly south of us in the United States. And with the recent introduction of Airbnb's, this only opens up the possibilities of reasonable accomodations or last minute trips to these wonderful, relaxing, exotic locations. Thus leaving some funds for new outfits.

Below I've selected a few great picks from Plum's resort collection to get you drooling (and dreaming).

Dresses are always a go to favorite for their sheer simplicity. This lovely, flowing maxi, fits all the requirements for a beach vacation. Long, feminine, easy and stylish. And who can resist the lace back detail?

Signature 8 100% rayon maxi $85

This should be a staple for summer or any vacation. Who doesn't recall these from decades ago. So retro, yet never really goes out of style for the warm climates. Such an easy, light breezy piece with pretty embroidery work. Very functional, with a maxi skirt or shorts.

Lumiere spanish harlem blouse (White) $ 59

I happen to know this looks fantastic on. Not just on the model above. Don't let the twist front and tie dye pattern fool you. This can really extend your wardrobe and can certainly transcend many seasons. Wear (as above) with tights or as a bathing suit coverup. (or right now with knee high boots). So many options for this one.

Audrey Veradero twist front tunic (black/white) $69

Another beautiful, yet breezy piece that takes two forms. Tunic or dress. You pick.

Lumiere snake print tunic blouse $59

Wherever you go this winter, make a detour to Plum first. Undoubtedly the staff will assist you with your packing needs. And if packing light is a must, this requirement will not be a problem with all the lovely lightweight, fluid fabrications in store.

Don't forget to send a postcard.
