Summer time is all about looking effortless stylish, and nothing fits that bill like a colorful printed maxi dress. With a jacket for cooler evenings, a skinny belt to help define my waist, and wavy hair from an air-dried braid, I simultaneously felt chic and super comfortable in this getup. Perfect for playing on the floor with my babies, an afternoon on the beach, a casual dinner downtown, or scrubbing toilets and changing bed sheets for the constant stream of visitors that summer is bringing us!

Love the dress! so cute!!! love maxi dresses but still have to own one! You are gorgeous!
You have such a great eye for fashion! What an inspiration! I think I need to invest in some form of jacket or vest like that. I live in Houston (humid!!!!) so I'm thinking vest 🙂

You have amazing style! This maxi dress is amazing! I've been on the market for one with sleeves and a stylish pattern, but don't exactly love the price. I might just have to make my own.
