Maxi Dress

I love summer dresses, you can throw them on with heels or flats to have a crisp clean look! Here are a few great Maxi dresses that will get you through this spring, summer and fall.

Michael Stars $84

My SIL (Sister-in-law) just bought this one from Target $22.99 and really liked it. If you link through this website you can get $5 off $50 order & free shipping.

BOGO

Payless frequently has the buy one get one for half off sale. I don't take advantage because I don't really like the styles, but they have some really cute shoes right now. Take a friend and then split the price so you both get 25% off your shoes. I found these... they are perfect for the spring and summer, but.... are eco friendly too.

Answers

Can I still wear tank tops over a white shirt? Should I wear a cute cardigan instead? Do you know anywhere that has a short sleeve white cardigan on sale?

A: It depends. I know that is not what you want to hear, but this is why. It depends on what type of tank you are wearing, where you are going and your body shape.

In the winter, putting a long sleeve shirt under another shore sleeved one is a great way to layer. In the summer it isn't as easy. Make sure you have a wider sleeve on the tank. Also you want to make sure that your outfits has a Barbie/hourglass figure or the illusion of one. You want to find the narrowest part (normally at about the rib cage) and show that off. You can do this by getting an empire waist (examples below) which hits right below the bust line and gives the impression of a longer leaner look.

(both of these shirts will work with a shirt under or a cardigan over. If you choose the cardigan, keep the cardigan fitted)

If you are going somewhere a little nicer I would suggest a ¾ sleeve cardigan. It doesn’t have to be white you can wear a pseudo-neutral such as tan, olive green, navy, etc. These colors work just as well and might compliment your skin tone a little better. If you decide that you want a white cardigan (everyone should have a nice white cardi in their wardrobe) here are a couple of suggestions.

Old Navy $22.50 (on sale)

Ann Taylor Loft $39.50

JCrew $59.50

This dress would be great witha v-neck cardi

Wedge sandals and a cardi will help this dress

look casual yet polished.
