Sunday Look: Maxi In The Wind

Blogs, ,

Happy Sunday!  What a windy day today… So windy I decided not to wear a dress or skirt didn’t want any blow ups! LOL.

Today’s look, the “Maxi” perfect for a windy day.  I purchased this maxi about three years ago and never wore it until today.  Its Grecian of sorts.  It certainly is form fitting and I’m so happy I was able to fit into it today 😉 .  It came with a thin belt from the same fabric that I did not wear around my waist.

That brings me to accessories; I added a wide belt (instead of the original).  I felt a bit more comfortable with this wide belt since the dress was so form fitting. The (original fabric ) belt served as my necklace which I tied into a double bow.  A bit non-traditional but it works!  A gold pointed toe shoe finished the look.  Well, when outside my oversized round sunnies finished the look!

Somehow my Fitbit always makes an appearance in photos, I forget to remove it every time 🙂 addicted!

My BAG; which I’ve worn before, this fun “fringe” clutch. I like to add a bit of whimsy or fun when I can through my handbags. NO RULES…

There is BEAUTI in everything, find it…

Welcome to the First Sunday in October!  Today I’m taking it to the MAX!!  Maxi dress, big bag and 5 1/2 inch heels (I lined up four different shoes to see which one had the highest heel) giving me the added height I needed for such a long maxi dress.  When you are 5ft. 4in. you have to come up with creative ways to stand tall 😉

The floral skirt and solid black bodice transitions well into a Texas Fall morning.   Later on… I can add a cardigan or denim jacket. “This dress was a steal of a deal”

I accessorized with a belt (to cinch my waist), long tri-color necklace, tri-color earrings, single glass bangle and gold watch.  Today I brought out the BIG BAG, I call this one my “doctor bag”…xo

Hello everyone!  Another HOT day here in Texas.  Its getting kind of difficult to find an outfit that’s cool.  My attempt to do just that, this soft chiffon “Maxi” dress that I haven’t worn in a couple of years. (it still fit 🙂 )  The floral detail and spaghetti straps are fitting for the season.  I could have accessorized with pearls but I didn’t…  Today’s accessory “WOOD” I paired it with wood earrings, mixed wood and wire necklace and wood bracelet.  My bag even had a touch of wood.  This was a very, very simple outfit to put together.  FASHION should be effortless…..   I enjoy shopping in my closet how about you?

I’m having fun in the sun all the while trying to keep cool and stay fashionable 🙂  This side slit maxi dress is from Old Navy, you know it was on sale… I added this white (men’s) shirt from Burlington Coat Factory to keep it more suitable for work.  I used the belt as a headband.

It’s been a week since my last Blog Post. SO much has been happening. Now about this no effort outfit or my maxi dress I should say. For starters it doesn’t drag the ground, I think that’s what I like the most and you can dress it up or down.  This dress was very inexpensive so inexpensive I’m almost too embarrassed to say so I won’t.  (You can purchase maxi dresses just about anywhere.)  My shoes are Vince Camuto, you already know they were on sale.  I felt they paired well with the medallion in the center of the dress.  My bag was another bargain, I have it in two different colors.  I think this whole outfit came together nicely and for not very much money.  Happy Sunday xo……
