This is the time of year when Girlawhirl just can't sit still. It's not really warm enough yet for summer clothes, but the stores are bursting with dresses, skirts and sleeveless tops that she's just dying to wear. Sure, she can wear a short sleeve floral blouse under a cardigan for the office, but what she can't wait for are the true summer delights – the stars of her summer wardrobe…
• When she gets home from the office, all Girlawhirl wants to do is relax, and what better to throw on than this soft cotton dress from C & C California. With pin tucks at the neck and an easy shape, she's perfectly comfortable. And soon, she'll be tossing it into her beach bag to use as a perfect poolside cover up, or throwing it on to run errands. She knows she'll be reaching for this again and again, so much so that she'll probably end up with more than one – it's offered in nine colors!

• Girlawhirl can't wait to wear these wildly patterned palazzo pants. She envisions herself in them – paired with a halter and strappy sandals – at a summer cocktail party, or casual outdoor restaurant on a Saturday afternoon with her Super Pals. The colorful mix of patterns is just right, without being too over the top.

• For a summertime wedding, Girlawhirl intends to wear this pretty Olivia Dress. Knit like a very lightweight sweater, with a double-layered skirt, it's soft and drapes beautifully, and even though she's all dressed up, it gives off the laid-back summertime vibe that Girlawhirl's after.
