Chinti and Parker Maxi Dress

The weather in Portland has turned a corner, ushering in sunshine, fresh blossoms and my need for the perfect summer dress. I have been searching for the perfect Maxi dress obsessively and I think I have found the winner!

Bamboo Jersey Maxi V-Neck Dress by Chinti and Parker.
 Color: Navy, 100% Bamboo Jersey Cotton, Made in EU 
$255

While the classic silhouette fits the bill, the thing that makes this dress so great are the subtle details: the gray grosgrain shoulder straps and sweet ruffled trim add the perfect feminine touch. But what sold me in the end were the side slit pockets. Who doesn’t love a dress with pockets?!
