Summer Uniform

During the smoldering months of summer, I elect to dress in maxi dresses.

There are endless selections of styles, as well as prices and materials, it is hard to get tired of it, not to mention the ease of literally slipping it over your head and walking out the door, looking polished without any added effort.

Prices, as I mentioned, are so wide spread you can find great styles for very affordable prices.
One of my very favorite one is from F21, for under $15.


Few bangles, a pair of hoop earring and some flat sandals and I am set for the next few months!


Below are some of my favorites I found online for this upcoming season.

The bright colors and pattern of these selections are so beautiful and they can be dressed down or up with accessories and sandals.

I prefer my clothes to be soft and flowing, and I am always drawn to materials like modal or rayon for maxi dresses.

  1. I am currently pregnant and plan to rock the maxi dresses as my maternity wear all summer! Definitely love the idea of some flat sandals and hoop earrings with this look. [heart]

  2. I think those dresses are cute but I'm not a maxi fan for myself. i prefer dresses that show some of my leg. Doesn't have to be a mini skirt but at least have some calf showing.

  4. @ J -- congratulations! Yes I think it's like a faux maternity wear and that's why it's so versatile :)

    @ Shari -- I like shorter skirts too but they are great for lazy people like me :p
    LOL about your brother!
