A Paisley Maxi before Summer is Caput!

This week ending today on September 15th, we have experienced Summer, Fall & Winter here in Michigan. Yes the weather has yo-yoed up and down. Yesterday morning it was 36 degrees. Just two days before it was 95 degrees. Today is in the early 60s. I am telling you it has been craaazaaay. On one of the hot days, I decided to wear this Maxi Dress to run some errands (a.k.a shopping lol) and later on to welcome guests (two of my mom's girlfriends) at the house - they came to see the baby of course, and bring her gifts, too.

 I figured I would wear a Summer Maxi Dress once more. I have had this dress for about 4 years now. The Dress is definitely Summery though the Paisley Print and the darker Plum through it, definitely screams Fall! I wish I had this Dress with me in Albania, last Summer when I was pregnant - it would have been perfect. As far as the Jewelry, I piled my Bracelets & Rings. Sometimes more is more. What do you think? Hope you had a great weekend so far. Happy Sunday Night.

 And stay tuned this week because I got some great collaborations & some real pretty outfits coming your way. So keep visiting back. I appreciate all of you who read this blog. =)

    Very pretty dress, and it seems like it would be very comfortable!

      It is pretty and for the most part it is comfortable. But it is too long even for my 5.7" frame. That is why a little bit of a heel or wedge is needed for this.

    Ooooh what a pretty dress! It fits you so well!

    Good for you for wearing a summery maxi dress one more time - pretty soon it's going to be so cold that we'll all be wishing it was summer again!

      I love the Dress. I can see this Dress work on your tall, lean body. I know, Summer is leaving us. =(

    Such a pretty dress! You could definitely take this dress into fall by pairing it with a blazer or cardigan. Plus, purple is my favorite color so I am loving this.

    Sorry I missed your call yesterday. If you have time, give me a call anytime after 4:00 this week, ok?

    such a great dress! You could totally winterize it too! Top it off with a sweater to make it a skirt or a tee, blazer and boots! Thanks for coming by BAD and for your sweet comments as always :)

    Love this dress on you and I think there's something very chic about a maxi dress with layered up jewelry!

    You could totally rock that with a denim jacket when it gets cooler!
