Sunday Best

Dress / Blazer / Sunglasses / Wedges / Satchel

Yesterday, I was feeling cozy and neutral.  Today, I'm feeling a bit summer-y and bright!  I suppose my fashion mood is behaving like the weather -- all over the place.

I love all these colors together.  They are bright and fun without competing for attention.  And those wedges!  My goodness, I want to add those to my closet!

Skinnies  /  Tee  /  Sunglasses  /  Earrings  /  Wedges  /  Purse

This is my favorite type of outfit to wear on the weekend. And can you tell I've been all about the simple outfits and color palettes lately?  I like summer time to be un-fussy and relaxed, and it's been showing through my outfits and idea boards recently.  Really, I love skinnies jeans and sky high wedges together so much.  I really don't wear that combination enough.  Mostly, because my hubby and I are running after our kids on the weekends, and sky high wedges aren't really conducive to running, are they?

Anyways, that's where these idea boards come in (for me, at least).  They're a way for me to live vicariously through my own ideas, even when I can't executive them as often as I like.

What are you wearing this weekend?

Maxi Dress  /  Left: Sunglasses, Clutch, Wedges  /  Right: Sunglasses, Satchel, Sandals

I have been in love with maxi dresses and skirts lately!  In this North Carolina heat, I don't want to wear skinnies or leggings during the summer.  However, shorts aren't my favorite things to wear.  Maxi dresses and skirts are a perfect way to stay cool and breezy during the summer without exposing a lot of skin.  It's a win-win for me!

The fun colors of this dress make a beautiful statement for the summer.  You could easily dress it up with wedges and a clutch.  The orange in the accessories ties in with the orange on the large dots.  If flats are your thang, this could be dressed down with nude flat sandals and medium-sized satchel.  I'm not one for matchy-matchy accessories, but in this case I would go that route.  The dress is busy and you don't want to take away it with busy accessories.

What's your favorite way to wear maxi dresses and skirts?
