Happy Friday!!! And happy three-day weekend ahead! I have lots of fun things planned this weekend...hopefully this cold will go away ASAP so I can enjoy it all! Tonight is date night with hubby, and then tomorrow I have a hair appointment to get a cut and color (thank heavens...it needs it bad!!!). After that I'm heading to the mall to do a few returns and a bit of shopping! I'm on the lookout for a few things for the kiddos and perhaps a few things to take with me on our trip to England next month. You never know what gems you might find while out and about! Sunday we'll spend as a family and Monday....no plans yet. We'll see!!
What are you up to this weekend??
So I've mentioned before, sometimes I just feel like wearing a dress. Maxi dresses are perhaps the most socially acceptable and closest thing to pajamas you can wear so of course I love them for their comfort level. I don't think to wear them that often in the winter because I worry my legs won't stay as warm as they could in jeans but recently I found that to be a myth. I wore this on a FREEZING cold day and was perfectly fine. What's fun is that you can wear leggings or knee-high socks underneath to keep warm and no one will be the wiser!

This maxi is one of my all-time favorite items I've picked up from Anthropologie over the years I think. It was an even sweeter buy because I scored it for just $19.99!!! Ahhh, love me a good deal! I loved the simplicity of it...you can mix and match it to death! It's my little black maxi dress (LBMD). It's served me well!
When is the last time you pulled out a maxi dress? Do you avoid them in the winter? Or altogether? Or do you have a small collection just waiting to be worn? Confession time! =)
Hope your three-day weekend is fab! Enjoy!
I absolutely need to get a black maxi dress. I think maxi dresses are so beautiful, but a black one is SOOO versatile. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree; I love maxi's!! And that is a great deal :)
ReplyDeleteI'm personally not a maxi fan but you always seem to pull it off and look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI like to use a lot of my clothes year round - but I NEVER thought of wearing leggings under a maxi dress - what a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration :-)

I looked at my maxi dress yesterday, but put it back in the closet. I made a mental note to wear it this week because jeans are kind of getting boring {but they're so warm and reliable}. :)

Really cute outfit. I'm thinking a black maxi dress is something I need to add to my closet. Have a fun weekend. I wish I were heading to the mall...I need a day out by myself. :) Hope you share if you find any great deals.

Hope you feel better and enjoy your long weekend! I just my hair 'fixed' last weekend as well.
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks great with the cardi and the belt!
I'm all about maxi skirts and dresses! I love how you can layer with boots for fall/winter or have a breezy, cool effect with sandals for summer. Love this black maxi on you!
