Sunny Days! I always enjoy this time of year. I think that has a lot to do with there being more sunlight to enjoy. The only downside is the weather.
Things are heating up here in Texas and as much as I enjoy warmer weather, temperatures can get a little out of hand. I don’t think I knew what it was to really break a sweat until I moved here which says a lot being a Louisiana transplant. On the bright side, I’m looking forward to bare legs, a little shedding a little shoulder and breezy dresses for effortless summer style.
Being petite (5’1; 125) it can be a little difficult trying to find a Maxi Dress that suits and doesn’t hang 3 additional inches and happens to drag the floor requiring a special wear with heels or alteration. I need practicality in my wardrobe so going the extra mile with pieces that may be trendy or not worn as often isn’t my forte. Its also always important that I find a maxi dress that can mask any insecurities I may have or leave me feeling less concerned about what may be visible to other people’s eyes.
This target ribbed Maxi dress is the best first edition to my summer dress line up. I love how it pairs well with a pair of summer heeled sandals, but versatile enough for a pair of cute flats or flip flops. This will easily become my go to weekending sashay dress.
If you’re in the market for more cute dress options to start your summer looks off right, I’ve rounded up a few I believe you’ll enjoy.
I love a good floral print. This sophisticated floral print maxi look by Ryder is perfect in every way with its front slit, layered lower look and back strap design. Textured styles give an elevated look to pieces just like this chic rose maxi. It its right at the ankle for the perfect styling, casual or a little dressed up. Either way you can’t go wrong. If you love a good smocked style, you’ll want to buy this dot print off the shoulder option from Express.
Dressing for work during the summer is so much easier when you have dress options and can throw over a cute cardigan, jean jacket or blazer for an effort free look. This striped sleeveless maxi shirtdress from Gap makes that possible. Getting to work just got easier and stylish.
Did I say I love a good floral? I couldn’t help but add 2 floral options. I found this Lorie Slit Yellow Floral Maxi & am in love. Wearable to a baby-shower, bridal shower or even an outdoor wedding with a dress code on the less formal side. Always looking for versatility in style & my summer dresses are no different.
