pink scissorsSpeaking of cutting things up.  Another trend for summer that will most likely carry into fall is that of the cut out dress.  Instead of the daring deep V or the slit all the way up to… designers have opted for the unexpected flash of flesh.  This look is very specific, so let’s not get carried away with too much ventilation- though the impending heatwave may make it tempting.  The look is a peek of skin, not “I was accosted by the cousin of Edward Scissorhands on the way to The Darby.”  So embrace the trend, but not too tightly.
