Accessorizing a terry cloth dress

Q. I recently bought this white strapless dress online not realizing it is a terry dress (shopping online can be deceiving) and nowhere did it say it was a terry dress. I was going to send it back but I actually think it has potential and it can look cute with the right shoes and accessories. I live in Houston and the weather here is warm during the summer so I don't necessarily have to wear this dress to the beach only. Can you give me some ideas on how to make this dress look nice without looking like I have a towel wrapped around myself, how do I accessorize? Help....  

A. You're right, you don't have to limit wearing this dress to the beach, however, no matter how much you try to dress it up, it will always be a casual dress. This means it's not appropriate for the office or conservative affairs, however, it's perfect for a day of shopping or meeting some friends for lunch. Start by adding some color to the white dress in the form of a pretty necklace. A casual but un-beachy tote and leather sandals (no rubber flip flops here), also with a dash of color, will help add some "street" to your beachy dress. Now you're ready to hit the town in a cute, casual warm weather look.
