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.

What about you? Are you a summer dress fan? What about dresses and boots? Yay or nay?

Welcome to Let it Shine…..the new, revamped Funday Monday! After two years….we decided to rename our link up to something we felt would be a better fit. Thus, Let it Shine! Why the name? Because we want this link up to be just that…..your chance to let it shine. We’ll be sharing our favs here each week and on social media…….
