28 Jul The Perfect One Piece Wonder for a Hot Summer

Dresses: they really are one piece wonders. That means they’re the single garment you can throw on and look your best in a pinch. No need to mix and match a top or bottom.

And that’s why I fell in love with this beauty I thrifted from Buffalo Exchange. It’s seriously one of the best dresses I have in my closet right now for so many reasons.

Besides the affordability of this frock {it was less than $15!}, it also has the aesthetic I love for summer. It’s long and flowy and really keeps me cool. I absolutely hate the heat, so rocking something cute and comfortable is a must.

Also, it mixes prints. The top is coral with black polka dots, while the bottom is black and cream tribal prints. If you’re ever confused about mixing prints, find a single piece that does the work for you!

You can see more of my summer dress haul. These pieces are really fun and easy for a day of shopping, brunching or even traveling {check you my how to pack a carry-on like a pro video. Hint: dresses are a major key}.
