Summer ist leider vorbei! This how some German people confirm my fear that summer is, unfortunately, over on our side of the world. Too bad, I expected August to give me that real taste of summer, but as early as on its second week, we´re already treated with fall weather. How is it going on your side? Are you still enjoying the last warmest days of summer?
If you do, you should take advantage of that bliss by dressing up and attending some end-summer parties. To wrap up your summer with flair, here are four whimsical, candy-hued pastel dresses I highly recommend.
1. Sophia Maxi Dress
Dress, Necklace, Clutch, Heels
This dripping in all over sequin dress is a statement of elegance, power and money. Only women who have already climbed up the ladder could afford to wear this look, or if they´re married to a wealthy man, or, if they´re still young, mom and dad must have a large bank account. That´s the first thing that people around you would think as they see you in this dazzling piece accessorized with equally elegant accessories.
But mind you, for its price of $550, you can easily afford this peach dress if you put aside some money for maybe three, four months? And yet the dress looks more expensive than it actually costs. It´s an investment piece for any working gal, it´s your go-to dress when it´s time to go flam•boy•ant.

2. Satin Darling Dress
Dress, Necklace, Clutch, Heels
There is so much youngness and energy-ness in this satin dress with layered flare skirt. It may intimidate women past forty, for, after all, isn´t balloon skirt only for the girls? Well, darling, Carrie Bradshaw is past forty and she loves layered skirts such as the tutu. Why limit yourself inside the box, bring out that young spirit in you and slip into this truly stunning piece that exudes luxury and opulence.

3. Miranda Bow Dresses
Dress, Clutch, Heels
Do any of you know Miranda? The Miranda I know is a person who has an interest for stylish pieces that stand out. If everyone in the room wears long, floor-sweeping gowns, she´ll show up in a knee-length dress, not only to show off her toned legs, but to establish her chic and contemporary style. She will surely love this pastel-blush bow dress, which is subtly tailored to shape her curves, simply because it turns heads.
When she talks, she uses few words. But when she does talk, she talks loud and bold. That´s why the statement of this dress won´t be enough, there has to be a pair of delicate but equally stunning pair of shoes to go with it. And even if you may think that an off-white clutch is perfect to match the shoes, Miranda will disagree; she will go for a teal clutch because she´s never fond of dull looks.

4. Fernanda Maxi Dress
Dress, Clutch, Heels
Fernanda is another stylish woman I know who does not wear jewelries. How can you look interesting without jewelries? You may think. But Fernanda has a way. She goes for dresses that are almost complete, dresses that don´t need a necklace or a bracelet. She loves this long chiffon, pastel blue maxi dress which is accentuated with an embellished halter neck, a cinched in waist, and an enviable silhouette. Surely, you won´t need a necklace of your dress already has an embellished neck.
And on order to avoid looking dull, she´ll pick this cascading fringe metallic clutch. She´s also wise with her money, so she takes advantage of clearance sales such as this 70% high heels from Paul Andrew.
What do you think of candy-hued, whimsical party dresses? Will you wear any of them to an end-summer party? How do you wrap your summer with a bang?
