My love for a great maxi dress defies seasons.  This dress has been just as fun to wear in the summer heat as it has been on a damp fall day.  The floral print makes it the ideal palette to pair with an array of colorful sweaters, easily dressing down the much more formal fabric.  This is without a doubt one of my favorite tricks for maximizing my wardrobe and making some of my favorite pieces year-round staples.

*I’d been complaining about headaches to the bf who pointed out they’re probably the result of not putting my prescription glasses to proper use so I’m going to attempt to wear them a bit more often; they’re kind of geek chic after all, no?
