Ever since I have been young I have loved to color combination of pink and orange. I really do not know where my love of this color combination came from but for one am very happy that these colors are back in the spotlight and there are many choices in this combination. The Velvet Nettice Honolulu Tie Dye Stripe Dress is a fun and casual tie dye dress that can be worn for many occasions like an afternoon meetup with friends or a night out. This dress is a silk crepe/jersey so it is comfortable to wear even when the temperatures are high.

The  tank dress has straps wide enough that you do not have to worry about bra straps showing and the scoop neck is deep enough to flatter your chest but not too deep that it is too revealing.I love that the top of the dress is a silk blouson bodice with a tie at the front. This gives the dress some dimension and shape to it. The bottom part of the dress is a double layer jersey so it is comfortable to wear and there is no fear of it being see through. An elastic waist makes this a comfortable dress to wear and the vivid tie dye pattern will draw attention your way. Since this dress is so colorful you should stick to a neutral color heel, wedge, or flat unless you can find a matching pink or orange shoe to wear with the dress.

With temperatures going up, it is time to rearrange your closet and put those long sleeve heavy dresses away for the next 6 or so months. While I am sure that you have some great clothing that you have rediscovered hiding in the back of the closet to wear again, I am also quite sure that you will want to buy a few new items, specifically dresses to wear as soon as it warms up a bit.

When it is hot out, the thought of wearing anything with sleeves is unappealing and a strapless  dress can mean you will have to spend your time constantly pulling it up.

There are so many great dresses ranging from casual everyday ones to more formal dresses appropriate for an evening event or party.
