The Summer of the Cut-Out

One of the reasons I LOVE seeing all of my girlfriends in one place is that it's a great way to get new ideas on cute clothes, new designers, and interesting trends that are still new to me. Over the weekend I got to see some girlies, and the fashion takeaway was that this is the Summer of the cut-out, open back. Not one but like five such designs smacked me right in the face, with either a hint of back or a huge exposed back. It's kind of a peekaboo trick and I like that it's the subtle touch of skin that is perfect for Summer. Mark my words, this is going to be HUGE all Summer long, so get ready to bare.
