back to the swing of things…

Uncategorized

Dress obsessed is always a part of my go-to outfit formulas… one thing to style, plus it always looks fabulous + fun. If there’s one silhouette I can always count on for instant happiness, it’s the swing dress. Easy, breezy and made for all the movement, these little numbers are the perfect mix of comfort and style—so yes, we’re getting back to the swing of things… no, literally. No matter the season, a good swing mini can take you from coffee runs to cocktails without missing a beat—and today, I’m showing you two ANTHROPOLOGIE favorites I just scooped up that prove just how versatile [and downright adorable] they can be.

First things first, meet The Keiko Mini Dress by Maeve [wearing XSP/runs generous + long]—a statement style I gravitate towards season after season… this time in a fall-worthy floral print that feels like wearing an warm autumn garden party. With a mix of warm neutrals, pops of blush, and rich plum, it’s got the kind of print that turns heads without trying too hard. The flowy swing silhouette keeps things casual and cool [with pockets of course], while these fun Tomato Red Suede Platforms and my new Dior Jolie Bag added a touch of polished perfection.


Second in line there’s this BOLD beauty—the Maeve Sleeveless Swing Mini in a vibrant orange-red [wearing XSP… the perfect length for my 5’4″ frame]. The structured swing cut gives it that same flattering, flirty movement, but the solid color makes a statement all on its own and of course I just ADORE the accent of the gold hardware on the back zipper for a little pop of pretty!! I styled it with the exact same sandals [because they match perfectly] and swapped in a classic top-handle LV bag for a slightly more tailored vibe. It’s proof that with one great pair of shoes and a simple bag swap, you can take a single silhouette in two completely different directions = both equally flirty yet still functional for early fall styling.

And because one [or two] swing styles is never enough, I couldn’t resist sharing a few more ANTHROPOLOGIE favorites that have me completely dress obsessed. From bold florals to playful prints, crisp stripes to artsy graphics, these minis prove there’s a swing style for every mood [and every closet]. I love that each one has its own personality—some feel flirty, some feel polished, and some are just an instant add to cart—but they all bring that same easy movement and throw-on-and-go magic we love. Trust me, once you start “swinging into fall,” you might never look back 😉
