Maxi-mum comfort

This past weekend I decided to weed through my closet and segregate all of my maxi dresses and skirts into their own little section for easy access. You see, I anticipate that maxi dresses will be a huge commodity to my S/S wardrobe. They’re just so eeeassyyy! No muss, no fuss. I’ve already contributed to my maxi collection with some adorable options via Shop Frankie’s, which were an easy sell as each was on major sale. SCORE! This denim jacket/maxi arrangement I sported on Tuesday will be my go-to combo for Spring, that’s for damn sure. I’ll probably substitute the jacket for a cardi or even a chambray button up to change things up every now and then.

Do you have any seasonal go-to staples? How do you feel about maxi dress?

Stripes

I wore this little number on Super Bowl Sunday for errands and football. Now when I say errands, I mean luggage shopping and some major snacking with the fella. That’s what I call a great Sunday, if you ask me. After hording this dress for what seemed like way too long, I finally decided to take it out for a little spin. I apparently liked it soo much that I wore it all weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and proceeded to add a blazer for an office look for the following Monday. Millage, my friends, millage. Oh, and for all the pregnant ladies our there, stripes are your friend! It’s all about the illusion.

I’m currently on a little vacay with the boy. The next week will be filled with visiting friends and family in our home state of Virginia. The days are pretty much packed with family visits, friendly reunions, some turisty fun, and much, much more. Let’s just say I’ll have plenty to blog about! Finally, I know;)

I Heart Trends

Like many pieces before it (infamous Zara heels, anyone? over exposed Old Navy cargo vest?) the ‘heart’ sweater is this season’s blogger must-have item. While J.Crew released its version a couple seasons back, retailers for the more recession-conscious fashionista have debuted adaptations of their own. This Old Navy version was one I had been coveting, so when I saw it on sale it was as if fate had stepped in and granted my wish! I love that it’s a nod to the graphic sweater trend, and the ¾ length sleeves are perfect for Arizona’s mild winters. Wearability my friends, wearability.

Although I’d love to take credit for the styling of this ensemble, I believe one should give credit where credit is due. Both Miss Lacey (A Lacey Perspective) and Miss Krystal (This Time Tomorrow) paired heart sweaters with florals, so this is my recreation of their genius . What? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:) Oh, and check out how Cathy of Poor Little It Girl paired it with polka dots!

On a more serious note, thoughts and prayers go out to those on the East Coast experiencing the wrath of hurricane Sandy. Please stay safe!
