We’re reaching that point of summer where the main objective to getting dressed every morning becomes: stay as cool as possible. This means forgoing most jewelry (I’ll pull out those heavy statement pieces when the heat breaks) and choosing lightweight fabrics that move + breathe. And if I can sneak in a backless feature? I’m all for it. This green backless maxi dress is plenty breezy for late July, and bonus– in my favorite neutral.
Shop the look:
A green backless maxi dress like this definitely beats the heat. Now if I can just tame this lion’s mane…
Hope you’re staying cool where you are!

Right? You can put on the cutest outfit, but if it’s heavy + too much for the hot, humid weather, you’re going to sweat your face off and look a hot mess in minutes. 🙂
Love that maxi, Ashley. I also own a pretty Olive Green Maxi which has yet to be worn this Summer. I need to find it and wear it. =)
And this is how casual meets sexy! You look amazing!

I love that olive green color – and your solutions for dressing in the heat are basically the same as mine, bring on the breathable maxis!

Light + breezy is what we need for hot weather! Bring ’em on! 🙂
This is a gorgeous dress – I love the khaki colour! I wish the weather forced me to wear such cool-and-breezy clothing.. it’s pretty cold this week in England!

Wow! What a gorgeous dress! I love the back.
You look fantastic. I’m so jealous that you get to rock this summer sassy look and I’m sitting here in the office in business attire. I’ll just live vicariously thru you for now.

You are definitely beating the heat with this look! I’m totally in love with olive green, too! It’s literally the best neutral in my book. Flow and fabrics that breathe are definitely my summer go-to’s–who wants to be miserable and sticky in the summer!?

As much as I would love to rock a bold statement necklace with a strapless dress, the summer heat + humidity in KC is just too much. Can’t do it! Haha. 🙂
Although it is a long dress, I see it very sexy! Kisses

Seriously stunning lady! Love how low the back is – very chic 🙂
I want this dress!! This looks so sleek and sexy, and totally appropriate for this weather right now. I feel like it went from a month of rain to crazy heatwave, but I’ll take the heat any day!
I do love the summer- and dresses like this make it easy to get dressed! 🙂
This olive is so pretty on you! I love the length of the dress & of course, the back is amazing!
