I went with a serious 70s vibe for my first Kansas City Fashion Week event: a floaty dark floral boho dress with major bell sleeves and a pair of Stuart Weitzman Highlands (aka, the birthday boots). The breezy look felt perfect for the Runway on the Rooftop event at One-Light Luxury Apartments downtown. A few rose gold touches (still loving this rose gold cuff from Nordie’s and this amazing double-finger Kendra Scott stunner), a side braid to keep the hair in check, and I was out the door for a fun night of fashion above the city.
Shop the look:
KCFW Runway on the Rooftop
The kids at Kansas City Fashion Week outdid themselves this year by kicking off the runway shows at the rooftop pool of One-Light Luxury Apartments. Talk about a stunning venue! Pearl Vodka drink in hand (citrus vodka + soda, lime twist– so fresh!), I settled in for some poolside fashion, from lots of grunge + fringe via my faves at KC Garment District to super cute swimwear from Jenna Sea. Also really loved the offerings from Zafar; I need that floral maxi skirt + navy mesh combo in my life immediately.

I absolutely love my over the knee boots! I don’t have a suede pair and should probably invest in a pair!! Love the super affordable option you gave us too 🙂 Would love for you to stop by my latest!

The F21 versions are AWESOME for the price! You definitely need an over-the-knee boot for fall + winter!
Great look! The OKB are a must have this fall!

I’m loving a dark floral right now- great way to go for fall! 🙂
Looks like a great event! Love this outfit, especially the dress. Love the lace detail on the sleeves 🙂 xx
totally in love with your dress, the print is just perfect and i love the relaxed boho fit
And because it’s so relaxed, it means I was comfy all night and could actually EAT DINNER without worrying about anything fitting too tightly, haha. 🙂
What a fun runway and the sleeves on your dress are just gorgeous. Love those boots, too! You look glamorous and perfect for the event!

You can pull of the 70’s vibe like no other; love how you give it a modern take with a mostly black color palette. WERK IT.

Those oh-so-famous Stuart boots! They do come in a flat-boot version. Are these darlings comfy?

I find them to be pretty comfy for a heeled boot, Viviene! 🙂 I wore them about 4-6 hours for the show and was on my feet for a good portion of the night mingling, taking photos, etc., and didn’t experience any serious foot pain. 🙂
this is a fun boho look. and those boots? so awesome!
