I may not be going on a Caribbean vacay this year, but that doesn’t mean I still can’t dress the part! Florals+maxi dresses=life. As much as I love maxi dresses, I am always hesitant because of my height. I hate spending money to alter them or being forced to wear a heel in order to avoid a tragic mishap! Finding the perfect one is never easy. I am forced to go to the store and try on a variety before finding the right length. When I saw this one, however, I decided to take a chance. The print and price were too good to be true!
This pretty little number is from Red Dress Boutique. It’s not a dress I would typically wear everyday, but it’s perfect for a summer event, party, or vacation. It has a v-neckline with a tie bust, a cutout back, and double front slits. I love that it is modestly sexy, yet still soft and airy. Every now and then, force yourself to toss your leisure wear to the side and get fancy.
A maxi dress like this one is also well suited for photo sessions. I envision an engaged couple frolicking in a park or on the beach as this dress sways in the breeze. These colors are a photographer’s dream come true. You will turn heads and definitely make a statement in this fabulous maxi!

While functionality and practicality are essential, it’s acceptable to throw caution to the wind and invest in some fashionable and trendy pieces from time to time. You just never know when you will need them. For only $38, my whimsical maxi dress is a must-have. I can’t wait to play dress-up in it again!
