Sponsor Content Created With Free People
While I've admittedly become a bit of a lazy dresser this summer, I'm proud to say that I've still managed to stay somewhat put-together in this New York heat. What's my secret, you ask? Sticking to a one-and-done base, aka a trusty and on-trend dress that instantly makes me look polished without any effort. As I ease away from home and out into the world more and more, my need for cute and simple outfits is on the rise, and Free People is always my go-to retailer when looking for dresses. Its variety of dress lengths, patterns, and fabrics makes it a no-brainer shopping destination. Lately, I've been loving the brand's mini lengths and ruffle details, but every style is honestly too good not to share. Keep reading to shop my personal favorites from the collection.
