Ahhh, the weather is finally warming-up and it's time to pull-out my favorite maxi dress! I know that maxi dresses have been all the rage for a few summers now and it looks like this one will be no different. Unfortunately, despite the millions of maxis for sale, I have the hardest time finding ones that are flattering on me (strange, I know). Except for this dress that I purchased last summer...I absolutely love it!
From reading other style blogs, I know that a great way to remix dresses is to start layering! You can layer a shirt or skirt over a dress to create a separates look. While I know this makes sense and is an easy way to create more looks out of what you already own, I was hesitant to try it with this dress because I love it so much! Does that sound weird? The fit is so flattering that I didn't want to mess with the lines but adding a layer on top.
However, I attended a wine festival last weekend and the weather wasn't quite warm enough to go sleeveless but it was too warm for the denim jacket that I had planned to wear. What's a girl to do but try a little bit of creative layering?! And you know what, I liked it! Granted, I don't love this look as much as I like the dress on its own, but I like it enough to wear it again!
Which look do you prefer? Would you ever layer a shirt over a dress?
