I realized that I like casual summer dresses and they go well with my numerous summery hats and assorted sandals.

I purchased a simple blue, short sleeved wrap dress and a friend helped my identify 10 unique ways to wear it with things I already own. It's not much but that dress us my starting point. Best of luck.
