The Floral Maxi Dress

Considering we’re already chatting about Fall style, it’s fun to see that florals continue to have a moment. I found this floral maxi dress recently on sale and couldn’t resist the beautiful cascading hem that felt infinitely more flattering for my petite frame.

How to Style a Floral Maxi Dress

Check out the versatility of a dress like this in your closet: give your jeans a break, and swap it for a dress like this, sandals or strappy flats and a purse (or tote, or backpack!). Fancy it up by adding a major heel and statement purse. Another idea is to go for a nude heel, which will continue to elongate your legs. A fun play on the traditional nude hue is a beautiful blush. Mine are an older pair, however my friend just bought this gorgeous pair for under $100 and they’re knockouts. The kind of heel you’d wear with denim for date night or to a black tie wedding.

Check out how I styled this dress from day to night with a few quick accessories swaps.

Take it to night….
