Dallas summers are sweltering, and white is the color of cool. Fluid frocks are perfect for a walk in the park or tearing up the dance floor. Accessorize a simple white dress with crystal-adorned Lucite bangles or a vintage beaded cardigan. Hair is wavy and tame for a laid-back yet glamorous look for evening. Add a touch of color with ravishing red lipstick and a strappy heel.
