I instantly fell in love with this dress when I saw it on HM.com. One thing I didn’t realize is that it features thigh-high slits on either side! Fantastic for a pool party or brunch, but a little too revealing to wear this stunner to work. It happened to be quite warm this day, as is more often the case than not since July has rolled around, so the slits worked well for ventilation 😉
I thought there no better place to shoot this look than the grounds at Kimberly Crest, a local historical gem with gorgeous views of the city. It’s one of my favorite places to visit on my day off to just let the stress from the week melt away.
