3 pieces for a great summer outfit.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I love Spring and Summer fashion more than any other. Well, that’s not strictly true as Fall fashion is killer. But that’s neither here nor there. Spring is upon us and I’m totally excited about what I found browsing Old Navy last night.

I could wear this outfit all summer long. I probably will, in fact. This version of the Maxi dress makes anybody look like a rock star, and is so comfortable.

Aviator Sunglasses $9.50

Jersey Sundown Dress $20

Espadrilles $20

Would you wear it? What’s your Summer uniform? Shorts and a tee? Swimsuit and cover up? Come on, you can tell me.

1 The Crazy Suburban Mom March 11, 2010 at 10:32 am: I adore those shoes but ….Just too tall for shoes that high every day But I love 'em. totally do.
Tracy
2 Camille March 11, 2010 at 12:08 pm: Usually a tube top and stillettos. But that's only when I go out in public.
3 Lisa March 11, 2010 at 1:27 pm: Normally I wear shorts, a cute-ish top and flips every day in the summer but this year I'm going to be daring and try to wear more skirts, like the Foldover Jersey skirt from Oldnavy. I just ordered one and it's so comfy!
4 lorchick @ ON{thelaundry}LINE March 11, 2010 at 1:36 pm: I'm actually excited for a wardrobe made out of that exact type of dress this summer! I was browsing at Old Navy the other day and it made me excited for warm weather and soft jersey-knit dresses. I'm going to be second-trimester this summer but I'm thinking I can probably get away with buying these dresses in regular sizes – although they cost the same in maternity, so we'll see what the fit difference is – and be a fashionable&comfortable; pregnant momma this summer, and then just a fashionable momma again next summer!
5 Julie March 11, 2010 at 1:57 pm: I think I could live in that dress and the price is fabulous. I usually wear capris, a cute top, and flip flops in the summer.
6 NestBliss March 11, 2010 at 2:09 pm: I always struggle with Maxi dresses not being quite low enough to give me a waist and then therefore making my extra tall self looking kind of all one big flowy size – the size being the very widest part of my hips!
7 Petit Elefant March 11, 2010 at 2:53 pm: Crazy Suburban,
Isn't it cute, the dress? The shoes I think will be for fancy parties, not for everyday in the garden.
Camille,
You. Slay. Me. Is the tube top sparkly?
Lisa,
Oh, skirts save the day in the summer, they're so cool. Literally!
Lorchic,
You can totally buy them in regular and recycle next summer, just wear a belt! Love.
Julie,
I think I will live in it. $20? For all summer? Get one in each color and alternate, no one will ever know….
NestBliss,
Maxi's can be tricky, but I'm usually so hot by July I don't care where the seam hits. My maxi from last summer was SO long, I think it just depends what length you go with!
8 Veeda March 11, 2010 at 4:03 pm: I'll wear whatever Snooki wears.
9 Marie {Make and Takes} March 11, 2010 at 6:12 pm: Oh, you're killing me. I'm so ready for the sun!! I'm ready to wear my Croc flips. I could wear them naked and be good to go all summer long!!
10 KJ March 12, 2010 at 11:07 am: I'm sadly too short for a maxi dress. plus the whole sleeves issue makes them tricky. but oh how i like them. especially hot pink.
11 ALC March 12, 2010 at 5:26 pm: What about the short girls of the world? We can't wear the long dresses the rest of you supermodels can wear…what would you suggest?
Your shortest sister.

13 Marianne & Clayton March 13, 2010 at 9:55 am: Love the Maxi dress! Especially in that fresh coral color. Last year I wore a brown one from Target so much that it literally fell apart. Can't do the wedges, but I love a Maxi and ballet flats.
