Year Abroad Dress

If you've done it as well, I'm sure you'll agree there's nothing quite like it. Studying abroad - it's an untouchably terrific time, and this lighthearted and fun Bernie Dexter dress whisked me back five years, and over the Atlantic, to Paris, where I spent my junior year of college. The Eiffel Towers sprouting up from its print sit me back on the Champ de Mars, where I occasionally picnicked away the night. Its brasserie scenes remind me of hours discussed away over a thimble of café noisette, and I can practically smell the buttery aroma of viennoiseries wafting out of the stripe-awninged patisserie. My travel plans for this year don't include Paris - 'un dommage' - but if I slip on this cotton dress with a vintage slip, short white gloves, a huge sunhat, and satiny kitten heels, I might just be able to daydream myself to a prime spot along the Seine at Paris Plage, with chèvre and a baguette in my bag, a few euros in this frock's pockets, and a glorious day ahead of me waiting to be discovered. -Hannah, Writing Development Editor
