What I Wore: Long Weekend
Tuesday, May 29, 2012
I'm back from Memorial Day shopping and feeling very fulfilled. Nine West was having a big sale and I'm proud to announce that I broke the 120 threshold in my shoe closet with two new pairs of heels. I'll show you them tomorrow!
I love me a long dress for a long weekend. I picked this one up last week because I just can't say no.
This just in: I am in desperate need of a tan.
Dress: Local boutique (Bella Ella)
Jacket: Old Navy
Belt: No clue
Shoes: Roxy
Earrings: F21
I wore this while running errands on Friday. My kids needed new pajamas and I was on the hunt for more kids summer clothes. Chasing after my 3-year-old in a mall is torture, so comfy clothes are a must. I also like that it didn't need a ton to dress it up. Earrings and done!
Then, it was totally wearable for when me and my hubs went on our hot date. We're coming up on our 9-year anniversary, so any date where we don't have to order from the kid's menu is pretty hot and heavy for us. We also saw Men in Black which was hilarious, even though the butter from my popcorn seeped through the bag and onto my pretty dress.
Don't judge.
Anyway, if you still don't have a maxi (or two) in your closet, it's time to go shopping! They're super flattering and I love how easy they are to wear. And just so you know, I totally wore my ugly/cute Roxy boat shoes with this on Friday, and then switched it up with wedges on Sunday. Versatile? Yes.
Also, a reader emailed me to ask if I could do a tutorial on belting, since I belt A LOT. So look for that in the next week. Just don't expect me to ever remember where my belts are from, k?
What did you guys do for Memorial Day?

You mean you don't catalog your belts by brand, color, width and length? For shame!
Maxi dresses are nice if you are a teensy bit remiss with the leg shaving that day. Perhaps that is too much info.
Rebecca, I know it's shameful. I don't know how I call myself a fashion blogger.
Nora, I am right there with ya, TMI or no! lol. It's your right as a maxi dress wearer!
I just love seeing what you wear! So much fun! I am not a mom (yet) but either way, I strive to never be a mom jeans kind of a gal! lol...So cute!

Denise, I can totally respect a person that is a) from Canada and b) dedicated to not dressing like a mom, kids or not. lol. Thanks!
Maxis are definitely a must have now days. They are the solution to numerous style issues! Thanks for sharing!
