What is it?

Summer of Dresses is about celebrating the simple act of dressing up and feeling good. It's about embracing your imperfections and loving how you look. And, it's about enjoying the sunny, warm days of summer no matter where you are (but especially if you are in Minnesota where summer doesn't last long enough).

Please join us. Everyone is welcome. Our only rule? Be nice.

How it works:

It's simple:

1. wear a dress
2. snap a photo
3. share it (email photos to post@summerofdresses.com)

Anyone can participate! More tips on how to post to the site here.

How it started:

Nicole Weiler (@nicycle) decided she wanted to wear more dresses during the summer of 2010. Liz Bastian (@lizbastian) dubbed it #summerofdresses. Meghan Wilker (@irishgirl) decided that there should be a central location for all of the photos of lovely ladies in fancy frocks so one night, after her kids were tucked in bed, she bought the domain name and whipped up a little Posterous site. And so Summer of Dresses was born.
