Love the series you're doing, love love short dresses (even when it's become time for me to go all boho hippie chic and wear them over jeans leggings, too cool still.

Love them! I so wish I could rock these at my conservative job :/ Maybe if I pair them with tights they won't see so leggy?

I'll have to think on this one.

Thanks!

Wonderful, all, and my Blumarine lust continues.

There is simply no reason for this hemline to ever be out of rotation. Nothing says happy and healthy quite like a minidress. :)
