Two for Tuesday: Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are a staple in my summer wardrobe.

Here are two fab maxis (both from Kmart and both purchased on sale for under $20.)  Eat your heart out and be super jeal of my superb money-saving skills.

1.  Attention Women's Maxi Dress - Medallion

I cut off the belt loops and wore the belt at my natural waist instead of empire style.

 2.  Attention Women's Smocked Top Maxi Dress 

I removed the neck strap to make it a strapless dress.

Want me to help you look fab for $20 or less?  Hire me as your personal shopper.  It's free - and a lot of fun. Let's do it!

Want Easy Summer Style?

Slap on a sundress!

It's one piece, therefore a no-brainer.

It's cool.  (Feel the breeze baby!)

And it can be dressed up or down:  think flip flops/flats vs. wedges/heels.

Take exhibit A: (actually it's the only exhibit - but just go with it)

Note:  If you follow me on instagram, you'll know that this outfit is SOOOOO 2 1/2 weeks ago.  Deal.

Styling is pretty much non existent here...

Dress + sunnies + wedges + jewelry = easy summer style.

I didn't even do my hair!  Although I should thank the Bumble and Bumble Surf Collection for my beachy waves - well, them and the actual beach - that whole salty sea air definitely helps the cause...

When I run out of poses, I just start looking random places - like a crack in the boardwalk...

Or no where in particular...

Ah blogger problems.

The details:  Dress is Old Navy.  Wedges from Target.  Madewell sunnies.  Miscellaneous jewelry.

What about you?  What's your idea of easy, summer style?

If you don't check back here tomorrow (which you totally should - I'll be wearing something a tad ridiculous) have a great 4th of July weekend and be safe!

Romper Love

I've been a fan of the romper for some time now.  Unfortunately as a tall girl, they never seemed to fit.  They would always"ride up" if you catch my drift.  Let's just say camel toe is never a good look.  Ever.

I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I tried on this baby at Anthropologie and it actually fit.  

Happy dance!

It was the perfect thing to wear to my launch party for the Rochester Blogger Network last night.  I needed something cool, comfortable, and fun: check, check, check.

I opted for a loser fit than the model pictured above and here is how I styled it:

It was a hot one, so the pony tail was a must!

I slapped on some bracelets, rings, and a great pair of silver earrings.

Loved how these Target wedges looked with it!

My Madewell sunnies added to the retro feel.

A simple envelope clutch from Francesca's held all my essentials:
phone, business cards, hot pink YSL lipstick etc.

Bold lips added a pop of color.

And I was ret to go!

I loved how functional and comfortable this romper was.  It is definitely going to be a wardrobe staple in this fashionista's closet all summer long!

What about you?  What's your favorite thing to wear when the weather starts to heat up?
