I’ve already decided: my summer uniform will be mini dresses and platform heels. I love this look. I talked about it on Instagram (this Alémais dress is a dream!), but I can’t seem to stop buying either thing. This is part (and I hate the term but whatever!) dressing for your body. I like my legs but not my midsection, so I do a lot of boxy minis with platform heels to give me a longer leaner look. It also feels very sixties and fun. I highly recommend the & Other Stories dress I’m wearing. It’s a hair under $100, fits perfectly (I wear the medium), and comes in a few other colors (including solid white).
The combo is easy, effortless, fun, and will work in Charleston humidity. I’m here for it.

My lower legs are one of the last things I’m willing to show off as I age, so I’m all for mini dresses!
