    Cut-outs rock on dresses, but that last swimsuit you posted looks gorgeous. What a great color.

    I love the Allude dress- the colours so pretty and just that little bit of shoulder on show is just a teensy bit provocative without straying anywhere near vulgar. Me likey. And most women have lovely shoulders but some of the other dresses just wouldn't work on my figure. There are some other very pretty ones though I would love to wear.

    these dresses are lovely, but it's so, so hard to find a dress with good (non-trashy) cut out details at a lower price point for some reason...c'mon H&M let's go! ;)

    Ah gorgeous, I absolutely adore cut outs. I think it comes from swimming. With competitive swim suits, the only way to really get cool style is with the cut outs on the back.

    Are they trying to save on fabric due to the crisis? or applying the "less is more" thought? These colthes are fun but in many cases not so wearable I think... great post!

    I love the Kinder Aggugini and the bathing suit! The color is amazing! I wish I could wear a bathing suit like that. haha. I tried one on this past summer...I am a petit one but am blessed and needless to say, I think my boobs almost knocked my own eyes out much more someone else's. LOL!

    I think this would make for a good diy though maybe to a dress or tee. TFS!
