I love wearing dresses in the summer—they’re just the easiest things to throw on. But since I’m not really a girly girl, I won’t wear anything floral or frilly. That’s why chambray dresses are my latest obsession—they’re super neutral and they look wonderful with crisscross slides and Birks. Check out the 25 styles that I’m loving right now, they include a bunch of inexpensive ones from Forever 21.
