DO look for special details.

The off-the-shoulder neckline and dropped-waist cut make this girl’s floral minidress super cute—and extra comfy. Love it with the mirrored shades!

    Okay, that don't get too pretty one could have worked... Take away the flower in the middle, plus the hat and you have a nice outfit! I think summer dresses are sooooo much fun!

    Photo number one is horrible. The cut of the top part is ok, the lower part is horrible. But the fabric design is disturbingly bad. It looks like the fabric of my grandmas 1960's curtains. Very bad design.

    omg, SJP would NEVER wear the dont get too pretty outfit

    Thats the point.

    It's an ugly outfit, the dress and cardigan is SERIOUSLy outdated, I mean this ladies : jackets are IN cardigans are NOT (and havent been for five years). They'll come back, but probably not for another ten.

    FF, I disagree with you. Cardigans are still in but the twin set look is out. I do agree that the pink outfit was bad although I do love pink. That was too much and frumpy.

    Actually I think the second look (labelled a "don't") is cool, with the mixed patterns, but the first look (a "do") is hideous. That's not even a sundress! It looks like a shorts-jumpsuit, actually. And those huge billowing sleeves? And off the shoulder? Huh? Way too 80's. And the floral print? Ugh. I just don't get that one. Why would you wear sleeves like that in the summer? I thought the general idea of a sundress was to have little straps or spaghetti straps on the dress, not a huge tablecloth covering your top half with tiny shorts/skort/skirt/whatever that is on the bottom half. It doesn't even look like a dress, and especially not a sundress! I'd like to add another don't: No exposed bra straps! Wear a strapless bra or find a sundress with a built-in bra, or if your boobs are too big to be supported by one, don't wear sundresses or spaghetti straps at all.
