Sleeves in late July? Not normally.

But I’ll make an exception for this dress.

When Swell sent me this dark floral number, the boho vibe caused me to immediately picture wearing it with tall leather boots usually reserved for fall. Brigitte Bardot in the ‘burbs, or something like that.

The dress is so light + airy, the sleeves didn’t weigh me down a bit. The boots help balance the high hemline, although you could easily wear this piece with gladiator flats or sandals.

A boho outfit called for boho hair– enter my super full beach waves.

Since the dress is a darker floral, this will totally work come fall with leggings + short moto boots and a leather jacket thrown over the top. I love transitional pieces; they stretch the closet.

Happy end of July, internet pals. (Seriously, WHERE is summer going?!)

  42. I can just see this with leggings and a leather jacket in the Autumn! The orange floral pattern against the darker background suits you totally! I love how you decided to wear long boots with it.

  49. Love it! This outfit has me excited for fall. Not looking forward to squeezing myself into jeans again, though. I need lots of dresses like this so I don’t have to be confined to pants:) Hope you’re having a great day!

  50. It’s crazy how long sleeves in July at this point in time is no surprise for me! It hasn’t felt like a Summer really here in Ontario. Oh well. Loving this boho inspired look. That dress is so cute. I just love floral.
