Fringe Dress to Mixmash Pool Party
Mojave Mumu, Bohemian Bones ($224). romanceriders.com
Expect DJ Laidback Luke to show up to his annual Mixmash bash dressed like some type of superhero, but that doesn't mean you have to follow suit. Instead, keep it chic with a sheer dress that has enough wiggle room for you to break it down when the music starts. Get tickets here.
