If you are regular visit to this Sassy Fashionista blog, you know that I love collecting beautiful winter coats and easy summer dresses.

Especially frocks that are comfortable, have pockets and are affordable. Pieces that can serve double duty as easy seasonal dressing, while keeping me ready for a meeting, travel, or a dinner out on a sultry summer night.

This 100 percent cotton Sidney Midi Dress in Siesta Blue for $68 from www.freepeople.com meets all my dress mandates.

Note. It is long and I sized up for the bust. It is also good fabric, but sleek, and it may accent any imperfections you may be trying to hide. Keep that in mind when deciding if it’s the right choice for you. It’s also available in Heather Grey, which I may also order.

I think it will also be a great piece in the fall with boots and a chunky sweater or an oversized tweed blazer.

This dress drapes beautifully, and the cotton fabric makes it particularly comfortable. I added a beautiful double wrap leather belt (custom made at a local Art Fair last year for a great price), and completed the look with some Big-Buckle brown Birkenstocks.

In my book, especially at this price, it’s a fashion winner!

I’m ready to put my hands in my pockets and do a big sassy summer twirl!
