DIVE IN- Summer Dress Solution!

I. Love. My. Maxi Dress.

After searching around all season for the perfect Maxi dress, I finally found one! And even though I was still apprehensive about whether or not the trend worked for me, I decided to just dive in and try it. Turns out-- I wouldn't care if the dress looked awful on me, because it was just so stinking comfortable! I love my new maxi dress, and I can't wait to wear it again!

The reason I went for this particular one is because it scoops up in the front, and hangs a bit lower in the back. This way, I don't have to worry about getting it hemmed (as a very petite girl, I usually pass on things I need hemmed-everything- because I never actually make the effort to get it altered). The fabric is light and flowy cotton, and the pattern/color scheme making the dress really versatile. I can throw it on for a hot afternoon of running errands, or I can dress it up for a night out on the town.

And since I snagged it at 50% OFF, I couldn't resist indulging in the perfect pair of wedges (also on sale! I got mine in black) to match it with. Talk about summer love!

Summer Dress Dilemma

I want to join in the Maxi Dress Trend SO badly... but I'm very petite (I barely hit 5 feet tall), and I can't decide if Maxi dresses make me look too small, or pregnant! Another blogger I follow is even more petite than I am, and she looks gorgeous in Maxi dresses. So maybe I'll give it a try. I tried on this beautiful dress from South Moon Under and I really loved the way it looked! Chic and slick and I felt great! The price tag was the only thing I didn't like about it! I might save a little and wait... Plus I will definitely need a pair of simple wedges to pair it with. But I really think I need to man up and try this trend or I will regret it!

Summer Style

When my boyfriend and I first starting dating, he would surprise me pretty often with fresh flowers. There are few things I love more than a big bouquet of fresh flowers in the house! But it turns out, he can surprise me with things I love even MORE than flowers! Thursday night, he came home from work with a box from one of my favorite stores, South Moon Under. In case you are unfamiliar, go to the website immediately! They have the best variety of clothes and adorable little decorations for home, too. Anyway, my boyfriend decided to surprise me with a dress he knows I've been coveting for weeks! It was incredibly thoughtful-- and its the perfect summer dress!

The bright colors are gorgeous (thought they'll look better when I have a better tan) and the delicate fabricate hung perfectly. The dress is lined, so don't worry about it being too thin!

Charlie Jade, strapless, silk; I paired mine with gold accessories (like the model) and Michael Kors gladiator 4 inch heels (black leather straps, cork heel).
