I've been working on wearing each item in my closet for the past couple of weeks and staying away from stores until we go on our trip to the Disney World. I have more than enough pieces in my closet, not a crazy amount, but enough that I don't need to be reaching for my credit card for a while. Anyway one of the items that came up in the rotation was this maxi dress. I was fretting about whether I wanted to keep it anymore, it's not super trendy, but I really do find it comfortable and easy to throw on. As I was thinking about what outfits I could create, I ended up coming up with four different ways that I could style it and make it work appropriate.
Style #1- Dress, cardigan and floral scarf
I love pattern mixing, it's an easy way to add flare to any outfit.
Style #2- Dress, bomber jacket (my on trend piece) and a chunky statement necklace
Style #3 Dress, chambray shirt and long necklace
This might be casual for work but it's totally weekend/patio drinks appropriate. I also had a little fun playing with different ways to style the chambray top, mine is a pretty light material so it isn't too bulky.
Style #4- Dress, fun scarf & statement earnings
I think this works for work because it provides lots of cover around the shoulders and neckline; plus as the weather heats up so do some of the buildings I go into.
How do you style your maxi dress? Do you still consider it a trendy enough piece to hold on to?
Cheers to the 27C+ temperatures in our city!!!! You know what, I wasn't really on with the chambray top myself but I purchased it during one of the challenges and have grown to like it and use it over the years. It's not my go-to but I've gotten enough use out of it.
This is the third post today that is featuring a maxi dress! I love the stripes and it looks so lovely with all of the ways you wore it! I definitely need to get some new maxis this season! Thanks for sharing at the link-up!!!
When I pulled out my spring/summer stuff and came across this dress I was really unsure if I should keep/donate, but I am so glad I decided to keep it. I guess I just needed to thing about how I could utilize it a bit more for work.
Thanks Lana. I made an effort to wear each item in my spring/summer wardrobe to see if I wanted to keep/donate. Prior to doing this post, I wasn't sure about the dress but I have already worn a few times to work.
Love all the ways you styled this striped maxi dress. A striped dress is so versatile and a must for a woman's closet. I am wearing one in my post, today. Love yours with the patterned purple scarf and with the floral bomber.
Welcome by tomorrow and linkup with me Bojana. Thanks, Ada. =)

ReplyDeleteAndrea, you are just the sweetest lady ever. :)
DeleteI actually really like the chambray with the maxi- I'm not a huge chambray fan but that combo looks so pretty! Have a great sunshiney weekend!
