halter top beach dresses Black Midi Dress E5546A2219 Crafted from soft cotton gauze Halter Beach Dresses - Bloomingdale's

The combination of the sleek long dress with the rugged trainers (bonus points for the leopard-print bag) makes for a very of-the-moment outfit, and the fact that it's a far cry from the fit-and-flare midi dress plus white trainers look of years past is refreshing

The gown showcases masterful construction with its multi-layered design, combining smooth red fabric with metallic brocade overlays that catch the light beautifully

A faux or real fur stole is the perfect alternative or even a replacement for a hat and a scarf

It feels like such a treat to get something back for shopping, and I always seem to find a good use for it
