Maxi Dress

Aviators & A Colorful Maxi!

July 17, 2014

Hi gorgeous readers!

Happy Thursday (woohoo, don't y'all love Thursday because that means tomorrow is FRIDAY!?). I have made it no secret that I am in loooove with a beautiful maxi dress. There's just something about being able to wear a long dress in every day life without having to be a celebrity on the red carpet that is so glamorous and just plain FUN. What I love even more is wearing a maxi dress that is casual so you can take it from day to night as is the one I'm wearing below. To take maxi dress from day to night....pair it with sandals during the day & glam it up at night with some fancy wedges and some more bling. It's seriously the perfect wardrobe staple for the summer. If you don't have a maxi dress, definitely check out some of my favorites linked at the end of this post! Also, just a side note... the blue mirrored aviators I'm wearing below are quickly becoming my newest obsession. They just scream summer! Here's how my look turned out.....

Flower Maxi

May 28, 2014

Hi dolls! 

Happy Wednesday! I've been doing some major cleaning out these past few weeks, and when that happens I always manage to find things in my closet I completely forgot I have! Enter the dress I'm featuring in this post! I absolutely love maxi dresses...I'm short but I feel like they give the illusion of me being taller, haha. Also I love the pattern on this dress with the big flowers. I threw on a hat for good measure and my new sandals I bought a couple of weeks ago :) Hope y'all enjoy my OOTN!

Maxi Madness

July 30, 2013

Hi lovely readers! 

One trend I have LOVED this summer (and that has been big some past summers as well) is the maxi dress. I love that they can be dressed up or down, and can be formal or casual. I mean what's more girly than wearing a long, floor length dress?! I wish I had more maxi dresses, but I run into the problem that because I am only a mere 5'3, most are WAY too long for me. So here's a tip for all the girls out there who are short like me: look in the petite section of your favorite store! That's where I found the yellow/white flower maxi dress I'm wearing in my OOTN post below from Ann Taylor Loft. I love the happy yellow shade of this dress and the flower print!
