hot hot hot July 22, 2015Dallas 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. { photography by Sukilynn } Dress: Free People (on sale for under $90! also available here and here), Bag: c/o Gucci, Shoes: Converse (available for UK/INTL here), Sunglasses: Celine, Diamond Earrings (UK/INTL option here), Rings: c/o Ippolita and Henri Bendel, Lips: Clinique Chubby Stick in Mighty Mimosa, Nails: Vinylux in Romantique Shop The Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Share Subscribe ➞ Dress: Free People (on sale for under $90! also available here and here), Bag: c/o Gucci, Shoes: Converse (available for UK/INTL here), Sunglasses: Celine, Diamond Earrings (UK/INTL option here), Rings: c/o Ippolita and Henri Bendel, Lips: Clinique Chubby Stick in Mighty Mimosa, Nails: Vinylux in Romantique Shop The Post Turn on your JavaScript to view content Share Subscribe ➞ 20 comments Rachelle says: July 22, 2015 at 4:33 am That dress is so cute and summery. xo PinkSole Reply Yolonda says: July 22, 2015 at 6:26 am Love this dress.
