Swing dresses are my jam. I have this exact dress in 3 colors. No lie. Red, black, and grey. They’re just so easy to throw on any time and I don’t even notice that I’m wearing them. That’s a good dress in my book. Oh, and it’s only $37. That makes it’s awesome, too.
swing dress, utility jacket (similar here), jeffrey campbell booties, christina jervey gold cuff c/o
old bag (awesome similar bags here), lizzie fortunato necklace (similar), urban decay lips in crush
I’m laughing so hard here b/c it’s hot as shit here in Charleston and it was ridiculous that I was pretending to wear a jacket. All for y’all. But I don’t have to tell y’all that utility jackets are cool, do I?
Okay, so these Jeffrey Campbell booties. They’re my favorite bootie I’ve ever had. I’m in love. They’re the greatest little casual bootie, comfortable, pretty color (they come in black too), and are not 5 trillion dollars. Oh, and you can fold them down or leave them up, love a versatile look. I’m going to really dig these folded down with jeans this fall.
I wish that J.Crew sequin bag was still available, it’s one of my favorites. But I think this is a good substitute. But that Christina Jervey gold cuff is still available, it’s one of my most favorite bracelets. Goes with everything.
Like I said above, swing dresses are my jam. I also really like this high neck version and this floral print.

Hey Jen, so fun! I LOVE Beaufort so much. I did an internship on Fripp Island and that’s how I came to love SC! So nice to meet you.
Okay, I just stumbled across this post and I am now in love with your blog!! I cannot wait to read your current posts. I am a fellow blogger, and I actually live in Beaufort, SC. Not far from Charleston! What a small world :)
[…] swing dress – $40, I have 3 of these in these swing dresses – seen in a red one here. […]
Thanks Ali!
LOVE those booties! Such a darling outfit!
They are delightful, Christine! Pull the trigger :)
This is the perfect Fall outfit! That dress looks super comfy and would be the perfect replacement for my flowy dresses from the Summer. Oh, and love the boots! I’ve been eyeing them for a while, but was waiting some some reviews to pop up to see if they were comfy.
It’s hot and humid – leave your jackets at home ;)
Your are hilarious! I love your comment on why you are laughing because I will be in charleston in two weeks and after almost a whole summer of crappy cold rainy weather in michigan I can’t wait to be ” hot as shit”! Oh. And I love your outfit!
Hey Liana – yeah i’d say this dress runs true to size. Shipping is free, so are returns :)
Love the dress & booties!! I’ve never ordered from ASOS before, would you say the dress runs true to size? Thanks!
I remember when you wore this dress to a Grit event. Love it. Red is your color my friend. I should probably buy one, I mean $37 its a no brainer, right?
It was silly awful really. Ha.
Oh I’ve seen that stripey version – it’s lovely!
Thanks Hannah :)
Def stock up for fall. They’re perfect.
Thanks Jane!!
I love red :) Thanks Megan.
Swing + Skater dresses rule. You look great!
p.s. Cannot believe you had a jacket on in that crazy weather. Hottttttttt

I have the stripey version of the swing dress and it’s one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. I don’t know what it’s made of, besides magic…
You are just the cutest! Love the booties & dress. Adorable combo.

Your so cute- always! And I must own those booties.
Hey Sarah- congrats on the new place! :) I think that these booties are a pretty good alternative. http://rstyle.me/~HIJa
OMG I need these booties! Have you seen any similar ones in a slightly lower price point…say for a girl who just bought her first house but is still trying to pad her closet?
IMO yes this pair rocks! I’m obsessed. They come in black, too, but I love the cognac best (love the color and more versatile). But the black is awesome.
Yay – more booties :)
Thanks Caycee – yes the booties are my fave thing in my closet right now!
Okay so now I need a swing dress and a pair of booties. Can you believe I own NO booties. Is this pair to get?
You look awesome girlfriend… and those legs… hot dizzzam! You’ve inspired me to pull my booties out from under the bed!
Dammit now I want those boots bad!!!!! They looks so pretty on you,as does the entire outfit!!
