Style & Co. maxi dress, Macy's
A maxi dress is perfect for parties -- dressy but still roomy enough to let me eat my fill. This print is kind of busy, so I didn't add many accessories. I like the print, but now I realize that I own 2 printed maxi dresses and 0 solid-colored maxis. Solid-colored maxis are so versatile, but I guess I didn't learn -- I broke my shopping ban (a temporary lapse, I promise!) recently and bought a .... yup, you guessed right ... a third printed maxi dress. Shopping bans turn out to be so instructive when I stick to them -- not adding new things to the closet really helps me see what's missing.
I didn't wear anything fancy for Sunday's party, because it was at a rec center and very hot. I know silly bands are out, but I still had fun picking up a complete set of Paul Frank bands.
That dress is really cute, and even though the photo is small I can tell you looked stunning in it!!
ReplyDeleteGraduations are the pits because they make me feel so old! I keep getting older, but my tenth graders stay the same age every year!
I love the maxi dress :) I own two printed and one solid color! They are great for summer!!

Thanks, Kat! They are so easy to wear. I'm glad you were smart and got a solid-colored one ... I've been seeing people style them in so many different ways!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Katie! Taking photos at night = small photos. : / And you're right about graduations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cute maxi dress and what a great consolation prize.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteMaxi dresses are the ultimate comfort in the summer, but I don't have any print versions. I think I would've broken a shopping ban for another maxi dress too. Enjoy your Japanese snacks!
ReplyDeleteLOVE love love that maxi - such a pretty print! And they are great for parties - they hide food bellies very well :)

I'm the same, several solid maxis and no prints! Carrie, you must teach us the art of finding these print maxis...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Annie! Yes, something that hides a food belly is a must when picking out a party outfit. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vang! The print is fun, the fabric is silk-cotton, and it was hugely marked down ... just couldn't resist. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Erin, I think it's so easy for me to buy printed things because I am obsessed with prints ... they just draw my eyes. :) I need to get disciplined and focus on adding some solids.
