This Renaissance-inspired dress was my favorite of Samantha’s new collection. Would be perfectly accessorized with flower garland headpiece.

Gorgeous and Graphic Green T-Shirt Bonanza!
There are so many great things about t-shirts. You can wear them under a jacket (to leave any cheeky messaging to the imagination), over a long-sleeve for an always-beloved 90’s moment, you can wear them to bed, you can wear them on the red carpet. T-shirts are as American as…
