The prairie dress is back just in time to send off summer.

With Labor Day in the rearview, everyone is gearing up for fall. Stores are packed with sweaters and pumpkin spice everything is back on menus. Kansas City, however, usually waits a tick before making that autumn switch; it’ll still feel like summer for another few weeks. I’m milking the moment in a sweet summery prairie dress, which is featured in this month’s edition of Kansas City Homes & Style.

I love a breezy summer dress, and this prairie number checks that box. The smocking through the bodice is really comfy (no bra!) and flattering; it also works nicely against the puffier feminine sleeve. I love peekaboo lace on the tiered ruffles– a pretty girly outfit from yours truly, if I do say so myself!

A pink and orange wedge added a touch more color, and I leaned into that femme vibe with a pink barrette and cat-eye sunnies. Don’t forget the mile-high hair! (Get the hair how-to right here.)

  1. you are summer personified, right here!

    i’m with you on there being a couple more weeks of summer weather. i can never understand seeing bloggers bundled into cozy cardigans, pumpkin spice latte in hand, the day after Labor Day!

    but this dress is super darling and could even go under a little cardigan as the nights (mercifully) get a little cooler soon!

    enjoy the last days of summer, ashley!

    1. Time is so weird right now- it’s both crawling and zipping by. Lockdown is weird, haha. I’m so glad you like the dress, Courtney!

    1. SUCH a good collab- I wish I could’ve snagged a few more things from the collection, but it sold out super fast. Thank you, Allie!

    1. Thanks, Carrie! I write for the magazine each month- it’s such a fun little side gig! 🙂 Hope it cools off for you soon in STL!

  28. Love the fact that one does not have to wear a bra with it. Smocked clothing is the best for this reason.
    Love this dress on you and the pink sandals. My favourite colour.
    You look like a doll!
    Always giving us looks!
