Velvet Aerin Dress - Floral

The Aerin has the romance of a special-occasion dress without requiring a special occasion. Velvet cuts the printed maxi in light viscose with a V-neck and long sleeves, creating movement and softness around the body instead of stiffness.

Wear it with flat sandals for a garden lunch or vacation dinner, then change the shoe and jewelry when the invitation calls for more. The floral print does the visual work, so the rest can stay wonderfully simple. It is feminine, but not overly sweet — the difference between wearing a dress and letting the dress wear you.

Why it belongs: It gives you an 'occasion' option that refuses to sit in the closet waiting for one.
