One of my absolute favorite things about warmer weather is… DRESSES! I love dresses because they’re easy, effortless, comfortable, and pretty much a no-brainer. You can wear it by itself, or you can jazz it up with a denim vest, a summer scarf, and a fun bag and you’ve got yourself an interesting outfit!

Another thing I love is actually wearing BOOTS with dresses. I realize for some this may seem crazy while others of you are like, “YES! I, too, am a dress and boot fan.” Especially living in the south, boots are big here… and a great pair of boots can’t be beat.

These boots from Duo are pretty much as close to boot-perfection as I’ve ever experienced. They are extremely well made, oh-so-comfortable, and you can order varying CALF WIDTHS!

Now, for those of you who struggle with finding boots that comfortably fit around your calves (you know, like me!) these boots are a dream. I got them about 1/2″ – 1″ wider so they would fit comfortably and then transition to fall and be able to comfortably fit over jeans.
