What it made us think of: Turn of the century Turkey gone twee
What we liked: The pink looks, the purple looks, sparkles, bubble skirts
What we didn't: Since this show doesn't have detail shots, we can't tell if the black suiting is printed or embroidered (but we don't like it either way).

Maybe it's because the model looks vaguely similar, but I could picture most of the De La Renta looks on Natalie Portman. The antithesis of stuffy and matronly.

Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
