Weekend Jam

Well friends, another Monday is here! I don't know about you but I'm already dreaming of Friday! 

This past Saturday was a super busy one- between going back and forth to Lakeland to take blog pictures, running errands, getting end of the year Junior League gifts, and prepping for a big night out I needed to throw on an outfit that put the "fun" in functional! (Is that the worst joke you've heard in awhile- oops! ;) ) Well, this maxi dress was perfect for all the running around I needed to do! It was light & breezy but cute enough to stop in all the boutiques I needed to visit and make me feel oh-so-ready for summer!

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, I think you know by know that solids aren't really "my thing"- I'm a girl who has always thrived wearing patterns and prints. But as I am learning in life lately, sometimes simple really is better. I love this Mint Julep Boutique maxi dress- and I scored it for 40% off over Memorial Day weekend! Once I got it all hemmed up (#shortpeopleproblems) it was time to take it for a spin :) It was easy, breezy, and beautiful - the perfect three adjectives for a hot summer day!

To the Max

Y'all have to know by now that I am the sucker for a great maxi. There is such a simple elegance when you throw on a maxi dress- it's the best kind of sophistication! You wanna know the best part of this maxi?! It was under $30 - gotta love an Old Navy steal!

A Tracy a Day {Strollin'}

Welcome to Day 2 of my "A Tracy a Day" series. What I love most about statement maxi dresses is that everything else can stay super simple so that the focus stays on your dress- which makes getting ready a breeze! This simple and easy look is then perfect strolling around town and wandering down to the beach. I am OBSESSED with the bright jewel tones in this dress- they are just gorgeous! Lucky for you Tracy brought back this popular style dress this season! Do you love statement maxis as much as I do?

Sunset Maxi

I don't think there is anything more beautiful than Gulf Coast sunsets on the beach. I love watching these natural moments and reflecting on all the beauty in my day. And can we discuss how beautiful this maxi is?! Friends if you haven't discovered Kiki La'Rue yet then you absolutely MUST click over now and check out her amazing store- she has the biggest heart and the cutest clothes for girls of every size/shape/style! With a dress this dramatic, I kept my jewelry simple so I didn't distract from the drama.  I had so much fun styling this look (and twirling in the sand)!

Mile-Long Maxi

Friends I am head over heels for this maxi dress! The minute I tried it on I felt about 7 feet tall (which for a shorter girl like me is saying something)! Maxi dresses are so great for elongating your figure and hiding a multitude of sins- and they are perfect for a look of easy elegance. I also love that this outfit perfectly matched my Lilly Pulitzer wine glass (a great coincidence, no?). Cheers to Thursday y'all!

Polka Dot Maxi

This maxi dress was one of those "lust list" items that I obsessed over until I found it! Last summer one of my uber-stylish girlfriends wore this dress in a picture and I fell in love; unfortunately it was totally sold out at Loft and I was out of luck... or so I thought! A few weeks later I popped into my local Loft Factory store and THERE IT WAS! I was so excited I'm pretty sure I squealed with glee! This purchase has been one of those that I've never second-guessed. Every time I wear this dress I love it more and more! With the cardigan it's perfect for the office (or a breezy night) and without I add a bold statement necklace for a night out. Talk about versatile!

Have you ever obsessed over an item until you found it?
