Now that the Florida heat has set in, I am all about the easy throw on and go fashion. When I have to worry about coordinating tops and bottoms, or even the thought of layering…..it just doesn’t work with the 90+ degree heat. During the last SHOPBOP sale I stumbled upon this cutout black mini dress and I knew it was going to be perfection. The price point is affordable and it was even more discounted with the last additional 25% off sale. This is the ultimate beat the heat dress. Doesn’t it just scream Summer vacation dress? I don’t work with a lot up top (if you catch my drift) but if you need any extra support you could try one of these. Or, since the back is strappy already, you could add a thin strapped bralette and it would totally work. Last, you could also just throw it over your bathing suit and head down for a drink to the beach bar. This dress works for anything.
I kept it casual with these tassel sandals but you could also dress it up with some stacked heels. I would add some fun colorful accessories like these earrings or this clutch for a tropical vacation.

That is so cute! It looks perfect on you! One place we differ in size is in that department, this would look obscene on me, nu bra or not, but it would be a perfect beach coverup for sure! I love the black shoes you linked, saving just in case they are on the anniversary sale in a few weeks!! I cannot wait for your post on that!
