for realz, people. serious fashion bloggers don't just decide willy-nilly to do a post and then take four photos on their iphone (self timer for the win!) while they're sitting in their office. they plan on taking photos ahead of time and they have someone with a fancy (i.e. real) camera take a great photo of them in some brick-lined cobblestone alleyway, right?
which is why my outfit posts are few and far between. but this outfit was just so comfy and wonderful (seriously, maxi dresses are my new obsession), that i wanted to share. it was one of those outfits that made me feel good, you know? coincidentally, the last fashion post i think i did also featured my jean jacket…can you tell what's a favorite wardrobe staple for me?
note to self: plan outfit posts better. or don't try to be a fashion blogger. eh, who am i kidding?

ReplyDeleteLove Maxi Dresses in Summer! So simple yet a put together look. I think you look great and there's nothing wrong with self timer Iphone pictures :o)
ReplyDeleteYes! Totally agree…they're so easy to wear! haha…thanks for the confidence boost on my iphone self timer shots :)
ReplyDeleteNice blog. I like your page design ;)
ReplyDeletethanks so much!
ReplyDeletehaha i doubt that's true! but it is hard! i have a great appreciation for those girls who always have perfect photos of their outfits! as a photographer, the photos i have of myself are few and far between
ReplyDeleteBlack maxi dresses are my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute maxi! They are the absolute best! (:
ReplyDeletethey're so versatile!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh is that your office in the background? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love maxi dresses - SO comfortable and chic! <3 You look amazing! <3
ReplyDeleteamen! i'm totally smitten with them! thanks!
ReplyDeleteit is! i share it with my boss, so much of the decor is hers, but i have my own little corner that i love!!
ReplyDeletethanks! they are great!!
ReplyDeletethanks nat! :)
ReplyDeleteMaxi dresses...the epitome of comfort and style. It's a win/win. You look great. If I attempted a fashion blog picture I'd look so clueless as I gazed off into the distance. Nobody would take me seriously!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous maxi dress x
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there were rules to fashion blogging. Rules are made to be broken, you look amazing in that dress.
ReplyDeleteWhat?! iPhones have a self-timer?! My mind is blown. I desperately need two dresses for Europe: one black (long for the Vatican and other more conservative spots), the other print (shorter to feel the summer breeze) :) That maxi you're wearing looks like a great possibility! Is it cool enough for hot summer days?
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! It looks so comfortable!
ReplyDeleteI think I could use a few more solid tank tops (dressier material) to pair with my skirts!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE maxi dresses! They are so comfy! Now if I could only grow a couple more inches past 4'10" then I would be set to rock them!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! As much as I would like to prance around in cute outfits and model in front of a good camera, I'm SO not a fashion blogger. You do it much better than I ever would!
ReplyDeleteI love The Rack and love that they have an online store : ) Very cute scarf btw!
ReplyDeleteI love this!! I totally didn't know iPhones had a self timer! I need to get me some maxi dresses, and a jean jacket!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful! Love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with a black maxi dress, such a versatile piece.
ReplyDeletethey don't actually…i used an app called TimerCam…life change!
ReplyDeletethanks! it is such a great site! their prices are awesome :)
ReplyDeleteawe thanks! the scarf is one of my summer favorites…it's so light!
ReplyDeletehaha well i definitely don't do it half as well as a ton of other bloggers out there, but thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteawe, see, i'm only 5'4" and i always thought i was too short…i guess i just had to find the right ones!
ReplyDeleteamen! it makes it easier to wear to work, and makes it a little more interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteit is!! it's so so soft!
ReplyDeletewell technically no. i used the "TimerCam" app…but still..life changing! and a must for your europe trip i think! also, yes! do go for a maxi…they are definitely warmer than a knee-length dress, but the ones i have are super airy and the material is like a light jersey so it isn't bad. also, i was in germany throughout the entire month of june and wore jeans most of the month. maybe they just had a cold summer that year, but it wasn't always as warm as it is here…anyway, loft had a few really cute maxis! the one i wore to robicole's wedding was from there…and it was on clearance :)
ReplyDeletehaha i guess there aren't "rules" so much as there are just people who actually plan ahead and do it well! haha but thanks!
ReplyDeletethanks girl!
ReplyDeletethanks! i love when outfits are fun to wear :)
ReplyDeletefor reals….they're so easy to wear and look polished! (i always feel weird taking photos of myself) :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously need a dress like that. And I'm not a fashion blogger AT ALL, so you're doing awesome, in my opinion. :-)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Good to know!
ReplyDeleteLooking good lady! Love the dress.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for one for a while now! Hoping I find one soon since it's so easy to style.
ReplyDeleteI have a maxi skirt and I LOVE that thing to death!
ReplyDeleteLove your scarf and dress! I have a bit of a scarf addiction...
ReplyDeleteNot awkward at all! You look lovely and I need to use my denim more! Totally how I feel when I do outfit posts, but I love them so I'll continue to do them :)
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks lovely on you! The scarf is beautiful too :)
