I love maxi dresses, but my body type makes shopping for them not easy. I tend to bypass them in stores and avoid the hassle of ordering online only to be disappointed. So when I saw this in the display window of my local Maurice's, I was prepared to be let down yet again, but I went in anyway and tried it on. Much to my delight, the small not only fit (I've never worn a size small there) but it also was the perfect length. It has a stretchy waist, which helps create shape and will make wearing this with flats easier. It's lined to about my knees, so no worries with it being see-through. I was able to wear this comfortably without a bra, but if you need/want a bra it'll definitely need to be strapless. I wore this for a casual business meeting just like this. You could easily add a navy blazer for an office setting or a jean jacket in the spring/fall.
I'm your mom friend who's probably overdressed for the occasion, would rather drink Mountain Dew than wine, and definitely stayed up too late reading last night. Thanks for joining me on this crazy journey!
How is it back-to-school time already?! Okay, so technically, I've still got four full weeks of my summer left, but many of you are gett...
July's Book Club Pick
I'm excited to dive in to this Greek historical fiction. This will be my second book by Madeline Miller, and I loved Circe. This book follows Greek hero Achilles, son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and King Peleus, and his friend Patroclus, an exiled prince. The two are trained in war and medicine by the centaur Chiron and are then called with the rest of Greece's heroes to the siege of Troy after Helen of Sparta is kidnapped.
