It’s no doubt that sundresses are a staple in every Fashionista’s spring wardrobe. They are easy to throw on, comfortable and lightweight on your skin on those hot days. In Elon, North Carolina, it’s common for guys and girls to dress up for class as the weather gets nicer. This means dresses, rompers, salmon colored shorts, Sperry Top-Siders and Jack Rogers sandals.
