Little Black (Maxi) Dress

It’s true they say you can never go wrong with a black maxi dress, but the same’s held true for me with this white waistcoat.

Seriously. I’ve found ways to wear it three times in the past week alone (with boyfriend jeans, a pencil skirt and now this), so I hope you’re not growing tired of it.

If you are, don’t worry — I just recently dropped her off at the Dry Cleaner’s, so you’ve got a week or two of waistcoat-free outfit updates, as I tend to be incredibly lazy when it comes to running errands.

Let’s switch gears: This dress. It’s everything. I’ve been searching for the perfect black maxi dress for summer, so when online retailer Wallis asked if I’d like to style it as an entry into their seasonal blogger contest (you can vote here), I was happy to oblige.

Matter of fact, I’m actually wearing it now, while writing this post on a plane at 30,000 feet! (Yep, I’m traveling again this week for this reason.) ✈ How’s your week going?

  1. a good maxi dress is so hard to find! even though there are a million options! especially when you are short like me! (and hate having to get things altered.)

  2. Love that shark tooth necklace - it adds just the right touch! Hope your trip is going well - looks like fun on Instagram!

  3. I adore that white waistcoat - actually I meant to comment on the post where you said you’re co-worker said it looked like a lab coat, or some such nonsense (ugh boys!), but I got distracted. So I’m glad that you brought it up again, so that I could remember to put in my two-sense. If I owned that thing I’d be throwin it on everything! Ok, on to the dress - I absolutely love it but I keep getting caught up in the loveliness that is yo feet! Gawd I love those shoes.
