As always, August hits and I’m ready to press fast forward until we’re back to crisp fall days and changing colors. The best season in Michigan! Until then, I’ll slowly start to style pieces that work now at the peak of summer and throughout the fall season.
The Dress
I bought this dress on a whim while in Chicago shopping at Zara. We were two blocks away and so of course I did just a little bit of shopping. While I was browsing this dress, a woman came up with her boyfriend or husband and exclaimed to him, “I love this dress, be glad I’m not buying it” and I told her enthusiastically that I loved it too and then she ignored me and looked at her man and said “men don’t like women in these kinds of dresses so be thankful I’m not getting it.” Well damn, I bought the shapeless dress and love it!
This dress is perfect for the transitional fall period, easy to dress with sandals, boots or mules and wear for a number of occasions.
Maxi dresses to buy and style
The most versatile dress is this Amazon black loose maxi dress with pockets, just $18 and I own a couple of dresses to this that are super similar that I wear on repeat year round.
This $43 loose fitting maxi dress is a little more flattering than most and I love the three colors and floral prints it comes in. Still very feminine, but versatile and comfortable to wear for many occasions.
For something more cozy, this $25 jersey dress is loose, but not oversized, and can be styled a million ways and is basically the dress version of cozy leggings. Comes in green!
Here’s another $20 t-shirt dress option to perfect wear one size up, styled with sneakers! Comes in three colors too.
This dress by Free People maxi dress is pretty similar to what I’m wearing, but slightly more elevated. It comes in the prettiest colors like an emerald deep teal, blush and black.
