Editor's Pick Jacki

Jacki's pick

"This maxi dress is perfect for looking cool on hot summer nights. I love the easy-to-wear silhouette and waist defining belt and — do you want to know the best part — it comes in petite sizes, which means I don't have to hem off half the dress in order to be able to wear it!"
