One of my absolute fav dresses to wear this summer has  been this strappy midi dress.  And it was only $20 on Amazon.  The buttons aren’t functional, but I am okay with that.  And for you breasfeeding moms, the straps are stretchy enough that you can just pull them down to feed your babe.  And it has pockets, one of my fav features.  Well aside from the fact that it’s only $20.

I added a belt to dress it up a little for my mini photo shoot with my little.  But it looks great without a belt and a fair of sandals or flats.

The dress also comes in over 20 other prints and colours.   I love the tropical print for Summer but I just ordered the green too.  I thought it would be great for the Fall with a cardi.   Some of my fav colours/prints are linked below.  But if you click through to the site you can see more.

BTW, I went with a medium so I would say it fits true to size.  Maybe size up if you are really busty.  Also the fabric is thin and unlined so if you get a white you might want to consider a light slip underneath.

Happy Shopping

Over-sized Maxi Dress: Summers’ Easiest Piece To Wear

by mandimlee, posted in fashion

The easiest piece to wear this summer is definitely the over-sized maxi.  It’s light and breezy for those hot summer days. Super comfortable.  Cute.  Totally effortless – one piece and you are done. And it you’ve eaten too much ice cream, its also forgiving.

With a bold over-sized dress like this, I like to keep the accessories simple.  Nude strappy sandals would be my choice, like these ones.  Click the images to shop.

Summer Essential: The Strappy Midi (under $100)

The easiest piece to wear in the summer is a dress – hands down.  One piece and you’re done.  But also, its HOT (not complaining) and there is nothing breezier than a loose fitting strappy dress.

Also, if you are looking for a little more coverage up top, layer a tee underneath.  White is always a good option but grey would look cute with most of these as well.  Something fitted but not too tight.

Here are some of my favourite strappy midi dresses for the hot summer months ahead.

This is probably not for every day errand running because while white is beautiful, it’s just not the most practical.  But this would be beautiful for a date night.  OR an afternoon party.
