Today’s outfit is totally inspired by a close DC blogger friend, who wore a white maxi dress with a pair of white killer boots for a summer soiree at a local restaurant last week. TBH, I would have never thought of wearing boots in summer but my friend made it look so comfortable and effortless, that I got lured to trying it out. Honestly, I was sweating all the way to my ankles cuz it did not occur to me that my friend was inside throughout where it was cool and zero sweating whereas I was going to be out in the blaring sun where it was hot and humid. Rest acceptable, the only thing I had on my when taking these photos was ‘how to get those boots out ‘… lol! Glad, I was closer to home and was able to remove them soon.
There is no denying that the outfit stands out and with those western boots it is a fun twist to the everyday summer maxi dress, but I am also not going to deny the idea of ditching the boots in summer. I wore it once, I liked it, now time to bring out another pair of heels that are more summer appropriate for another fresh summer look. Happy sole equals happy soul after all.
How many times have you worn an outfit inspired by a friend or sister and later realized that ‘that look is not meant for you’?

This is such a beautiful dress, and I love it with it with the booties, but yes, I get what you mean about the impracticality. A lot of cute fashion ideas are impractical: like jackets or long sleeves with shorts. I mean, if it's cold enough to need a jacket, it's too cold for shorts.
Such a beautiful dress. I love it,very summery and the unexpected boots make the outfit perfect. I also like your handbag.

Saw your gorgeous dress on Nancy's linkup and had to come and tell you how much I adore it. Love the mix of prints and the addition of the red boots. Fabulous!
Vintage styles are progressively prevalent as dresses in light of the fact that, truly, ladies wore dresses practically 100% of the time. Without a doubt, ladies even wore "housedresses" while cleaning house and doing errands at home. Dresses were the substance of gentility.Portia and Scarlett Dresses
