Cut it out

I feel that I've been a lot braver this summer; showing more skin than I normally do, and while a cutout dress may have previously fallen outside my comfort zone, the strategically removed fabric on this dress from Zinke did not leave me feeling overexposed.

The higher neckline compensates for the vanishing back, while the fuller skirt keeps my waistline looking tiny. And let's not forget that it has pockets, the one thing you can count on to make any girl love pretty much any dress.

I actually got to pick this dress out from Zinke at the RewardStyle fashion week party nearly a year ago. It was shipped to me in December, which meant it would be another six months before I could actually wear it, and in the interim Zinke shut down their site. So this dress is no longer available, however if you love the print, you can still get it in an adorable crop top and shorts set.
