Maxi Dress

outfits· shopping

27 Jun
The main thing that I knew I really wanted to add to my wardrobe this summer was a maxi dress.  The first time I tried this dress on at Target, they didn’t have it in my size.  The next time I was there I looked again on a whim, and they had it!  I’m so glad, because this dress is one of my favorite things in my closet.

You guys know how I feel about my jean jacket, and when the weather calls for it, I love pairing it with this dress!

{I don’t remember why I decided not to wear shoes in these pictures.  Oh well.}

Dress: Target
Jean Jacket: American Eagle
Necklace: Kendra Scott (it was a Christmas present, in case any of you think that I’m threatening my low-low habits)

Did you have something that you wanted to add to your wardrobe this year?  Spill!

    Looks lovely on you! I wish I could pull of a maxi-dress style, but I'm just so tall already :(

    It looks great on you! I don't think I could pull off the maxi dress, but I'm always amazed at people who do.

    This year I'm hoping to add a classic navy blazer to my wardrobe. They're pricey, so I better start saving now!

    You look fabulous in your new dress. I've been dying over a pair of swedish clogs for months and I finally bought myself a pair. Boy do I love them. There is a special feeling that comes with buying an item you've been wanting forever and getting to wear it out at last.

    Cute outfit! I have that same jacket from AE, it's my favorite! I've never tried on a maxi dress before. I'm kind of intimidated but it looks so cute on you! I think I'll try one on for fun and see if I can pull it off!

    But I'd really like to add a fedora to my wardrobe!

    Kate that dress is gorgeous! I have several solid print maxi dresses, but I'm thinking now I might have to get one like that :)

    I wanted to buy a maxi dress, too, but… I'm too short. Whether it's a maxi dress or skirt, they're RIDICULOUSLY long. I'm just worried that if I try to buy one and get it hemmed, it will ruin the pattern or structure. Yup, they're THAT long on me. :-/ But I settled for some lovely teal sandals and my new favorite striped shirt (that I'm wearing today)!

    You look gorgeous, by the way!

    You look great in this dress, Kate! I recently purchased one in a similar cut and I think it's more flattering than the big, bohemian flowy ones.

    Nooooooo that's the dress I've been searching for for months!!!! Seriously, every time I go to Target they don't have my size. So. Jealous. You. Found. It.

    If you ever get sick of it, send it my way. Haha :)

    Love that dress, Kate! Especially that it is a racer-back.. I love an excuse to wear a sports bra all day.

    Great dress, I love the neutral colors, it looks like it would be a great staple to have. The jean jacket is always a classic touch too :)

    I got a pair of gold Saltwaters at the start of the summer, and they have been a great purchase. I love 'em!

    This is super duper cute! I never thought I'd be a maxi dress kinda gal, but I bought my first one this year too (coincidentally, mine's stripey too – but in grey & black) and it's one of my new favourite things I own. So comfy, and can look good dressed up or down. Win win! :D

    I still haven't found the perfect summer dress yet, maybe I should look into a maxi. You look great in it!
