Dress of the Day: Nanette Lepore Buonissimo Swirl

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

Nanette Lepore Buonissimo DressAlready thinking of Spring? I certainly am and am looking forward to the first warm (dry) day I can wear something as fresh and cute as the Buonissimo Swirl dress from Nanette Lepore. The simple sheath is made of either a red or cobalt blue swirl pattern on cotton fabric. The front looks innocent enough with a cascade of bead detail from a high round neckline down the chest, but features a large keyhole opening in the back. In the Spring, it'll be bare legs and a pair of gleaming white round toe pumps.

Available from Nordstrom for $295.
