mixing up maxi's with Gracie B.

The product and post seen below have been sponsored by Gracie B. as part of their “Transitioning Into Fall” campaign. However, all opinions are my own.



 The texas weather definitely has a mind of it's own.  One day it's sweater weather and the next day you're in shorts and flips.  So when Gracie B. sent me this gorgeous maxi it was so perfect to style for both the chilly days and the warmer days.  First of all, navy is one of my fave colors to wear and the fact that this maxi has sleeves already made it the perfect dress in my mind.  And I don't know about you, but I love having pieces in my closet that I can wear multiple ways, so I really wanted to show 2 totally different looks with this dress.

 For my first look I wanted to showcase the gorgeousness that is the maxi dress.  A fun fringe scarf and a fab fall hat, paired with magenta platform heels, were the perfect pieces for highlighting my maxi.  I love how long this dress is and how it makes me look way taller than I actually am...and the 5 inch heels help a little I guess!


 For my second look I transformed my dress into a maxi skirt!  We all know I adore a good maxi skirt and by adding my fun oversized daisy sweater I had a more casual, yet equally chic outfit.  Top it off with an MRD flower crown and it's total hippie chic perfection.  




So which look is your favorite?  I honestly can't choose because I love them both and I know I'm going to be living in this maxi dress this fall!  And make sure and check out Gracie B. and all of their amazing new fall goodies!

feeling boho chic

i'm not sure why, but moving to texas has not made me want cowboy boots, or bling butt jeans, or want to say ya'll...but it has made me want to be totally 70s boho chic...does this make sense?  no...do i care?  obviously not...because 70s chic is soooo me right now and we all know the best clothing line to for this look...for a lack of a better word, i am OBSESSED with free people!!!  
 

for summer i adore maxi dresses.  they are just so easy to throw on and go, yet it looks like you spent a lot of time putting together a complete look.  and chiffon dresses are so light and airy...this one has layers of black eyelet chiffon so i can totally dress it up or down which i love!  plus the straps are removable which makes it more versatile.

mixin' it up

  after stepping outside today, i came to the realization that i may need to start getting more creative with my hair.  usually i always wear it down and wavy, but the fact that it's already this warm so early in the year means once summer hits my hair is most definitely not going to be lovely...probably just flat and blah....
so i'm trying to come up with some fun ways to wear it and today lots of braids was the answer..and why not add some crazy patterns...just mixin' it up!
