Summer Dress Under $30

how to style green maxi dress

Like much of the east coast, it was a hot one here in D.C. this past weekend. With the “feel like” temperature at 107 degrees by Saturday afternoon, it was like walking into a brick wall every time walking outside. Even though we shot these pictures super early, it was brutal!
