Happy Monday Friends and welcome to my first favorite summer clothing item. I’ll tell you my second tomorrow!
Behold, THE MAXI DRESS (beam of light shines down from the heavens on all maxi dresses).
Thanks for your patience over the past week with no blog posts. I am in the works of a blog redesign and hope you will love the functionality and more personal feel when the transformation is complete. Lately we have been so busy I feel like my head is spinning around like the character in the Exorcist!!! Stylized shoots in Galveston, kindergarten round up, preschool graduation, splash day. Ya’ll, how am I going to handle sending my baby off to kindergarten next year?
When I have this many functions to attend or errands to run and need to look put together, my go to look is a maxi dress. You will be seeing quite a few maxi dress posts this summer, so here is your warning! When I saw this bright flowy tropical maxi dress from Pink Lilly Boutique (c/o), I knew it belonged in my closet. This tropical maxi dress has a gorgeous semi exposed back and an adjustable tie neck. The first time I tried this on I had a mini freak out because I accidentally put it on backwards (hello blonde moment) and my chest was sticking out. I tried pulling the fabric over and tying it differently and no bueno. Then, I looked at the picture on the website and Voila! I turned the dress around and was smitten!
Ya’ll how gorgeous is this gold choker from Gorjana? I love this brand of jewelry know for their simple hammered metal designs. I can’t wait to pair this choker with a long gold necklace and a plain tee for a layered look.
White nail polish is super hot right now. Essie nail polish in the color ‘Blanc’ is my go to color. If you don’t have time to let your nails dry use this quick dry top coat and you will be ready to go in no time!
If you are in the market for a maxi dress that is perfect for errands or a lunch date you will love the light weight fabric and shape. Take a look see around the Pink Lilly Boutique. They have adorable and affordable clothing that is perfect for the summer months.

Thanks Zelle! The wall is actually a progression of 6-7 different blocks near downtown Houston called the Sugar and Cloth Color wall. It’s always a great time shooting there.
I LOVEEEE everything about this look, Sara – even down to the brightly beautiful wall that perfectly accents your dress! I just started a group Pinterest board for bloggers to share their OOTD’s. Would love to have you! <3 https://www.pinterest.com/allynlewis/ootd-inspiration/
