If you've been wearing your maxi dresses just one way, let me put you on to some ways to maximize your wardrobe with these nine simple maxi dress looks!
So, here’s the story. I was invited to a brunch taking place tomorrow which I’m very excited to attend. Only thing is, it’s an all-white event. Now, I have a few white separates but nothing that really “goes” together. I’m also on the tightest budget EVER in the history of time. What’s a girl to do?! I took to Google the other night, brainstorming, using my PhotoGrid app to make a quick collage: Folake of Style Pantry always gets it right! A dress takes the guess work out of “what to wear” since it’s basically a top and bottom in one and her maxi is spot on. I added another basic maxi to the mix as well as a few separates just for some inspiration. I often like to accent a neutral, monochromatic palette (esp. white) with color color color, so I thought I’d go with my coral Lizette pumps…
Summers in New York always bring lots of fun stuff to do with the fam! The International African Arts Festival returned to Brooklyn’s Commodore Barry Park Thursday July 4th through Sunday July 7th and this would be my first time attending… YIPPEE! With temps in the 90s over the past week, I needed to keep things light and airy so I would be comfortable while taking in the sights. What better way to do so than with an über-colorful, flowy kimono maxi dress. I got this one from H&M last year… LOVE the abstract print! I paired it with some “shine bright like a diamond” sandals and my straw I-wear-this-with-everything tote.
