Summer is the best time of the year in NYC because it’s time to break out those fun dresses that have been hiding in the back of our closets. Last summer is when my love for the gym started and because I was working out so much a lot of my summer dresses just didn’t seem to fit me right anymore. My Mom told me to head on over to Bloomingdales and see what they had because it was Friends & Family. This black dress I found in their sale section for $20! Yes you read that right with all the discounts added on top of it this dress was such a steal! I know there a lot of people who will look at this dress and say its too loose for a summer dress, but that is what I was looking for.  For the most part at least from what I’ve seen since living in NYC  people like to wear short tight dresses or even long maxi dresses in the summer months. That isn’t the case for me when it comes to my summer dresses. When looking for a summer dress color isn’t an obstacle for me because I will wear black even during the summer. However, it is especially hard to find a black dress that isn’t too plain and simple. I love the detailing on the front of this dress and especially the crossing straps in the back. The details give this simple black summer dress a little something extra to it. It is so comfortable and easy to wear that I am sad that it doesn’t come in multiple colors. If it did I would have purchased it in every single color available. This is honestly the perfect dress to wear to a backyard BBQ, a rooftop bar and even a date night out. When it gets so hot during the summer it hard to dress without sweating through your clothes, but this dress is the perfect mix of fun and comfortable for these summer months. If you are still searching for that perfect dress for this weekends festivities head on over to Bloomingdales and check out their amazing selection of summer dresses. <3
