As I was walking in Central Park with my pal Jeanne Lawrence last week on on of those steamy 90 degree days, she asked, “What do you wear when the temperature is so hot in the city?” Dresses, specifically shirtdreses to be a wonderful solution to the “what to wear summer” and not just for city dressing. So I went shopping at several of our on-line partners to find a “something for every one” collection. Keep in mind that NOW is the time to acquire one or two of the fabulously functional frocks to keep you looking cool all summer long.
