Road Trip Reality Check: The Boho Mini

I once ate forty-two hot dogs in a single sitting, so I know a thing or two about enduring extreme conditions. When I stumbled upon the Floerns Boho Tropical Mini Dress on Amazon, my first thought was not fashion.

It was whether those thin straps would snap if I had to bail out of a moving van during a desert dust storm. At twenty-four bucks, it is cheap, but it feels surprisingly substantial against the skin.

It has a silky, almost cooling texture that makes the fabric friction sound like soft sandpaper on velvet. Very satisfying.
