I have a shitload considerable amount of "fancy" dresses that I normally wouldn't consider wearing on casual occasions. But since wearing flats to "casualize" the outfit seems to work, I've lined up my "party dresses" and picked out the flats that I'll be pairing them with. Summer is gonna made up of the fancy and the flats! Well, plus lots of shorts, too. Lots and lots of them. The weather lately has been unbelievably hot that shorts seem to be the only comfortable bottoms for me---along with skirts and anything light and airy (like this dress from Express).
