Gem features one standout piece from a local shop. Whether it's a jacket, necklace, or handbag, it's on our have-to-have list.
What: Airy dresses are a must-have when it comes to summer duds -- in fact they made the cut for Butter Toast Boutique co-owner Traci Nelson's list of summer fashion must-haves. Granted, this lightly layered navy dress by Patra isn't floral. But we think that'll make it worthy of transitioning into your fall and winter wardrobes -- a perennially fashionable piece.
Where: Arcadia Vintage
Cost: $16.90
Style It: Give the light, flirty dress some earthy edge with a pair of Rag & Bone ankle boots in a blue-gray leather. Cinch the waist under the top layer with a taupe leather Bottega Veneta belt embellished with bright pink intrecciato detailing. Complete the look with Kelly Wearstler knotted brass earrings, a Lulu Frost blue crystal bracelet, and a leopard-print Valentino shoulder bag.
