Each year I forget how hot it gets here in Texas. When I returned from San Diego on Saturday, I was met with a muggy, 100 degree slap to the face. Naturally, I want to wear no clothes, but obviously that’s not an option.
These temps definitely have me stripping down to the very lightest items in my closet. I recently picked up this Free People dress on sale and it’s been the ideal go-to now that the heat is at it’s most unbearable level. This fun frock is printed, so you can’t see sweat (because let’s face it – it happens here), and it’s loose and breezy. It also made the perfect coverup in California! It’s been marked down to a ludicrous $88 here.
Free People has a bunch of easy summer frocks like this one and they are all super affordable. While I wouldn’t consider my style boho by any means, it is fun to throw some into the mix for summer, don’t you think? Here are some other Free People favorites to peruse: this dusty rose ruffled-hem number, this gauze printed dress, this lace-trim swing dress and this beautiful lace trapeze dress for hot summer nights.

Love this dress. I’m a fan of FP and I’m not Boho but they have unique pieces that I adore. I just picked a few tees from there the other day. Perfect for this Texas heat
Cute converse!!

I’m there with you girl. Every summer I forget how freaking hot it gets here in Florida (I’m near Palm Beach) and right now — can’t handle it. Adore how you paired this with the converse… perfect.

Love this. You always find the best dresses, and styling it with sneakers is such a great idea. Chic!
It’s been insanely warm here in NC too, so I’ve been living in dresses and skirts. Love this dress!
