Maxi-Dresses: My Summer Staple

When the temperature rises, I pack up my beloved jeans and reach for my summer staple: maxi-dresses.  They are the perfect solution to a busy woman’s problems-they cover up legs that you didn’t have time to shave, let alone apply self-tanner to, they allow excellent ventilation during extreme heat and humidity, and they make you look effortlessly elegant, especially when you feel exactly the opposite.  The other reason they’re a summer wardrobe staple is that maxi-dresses come in a variety of cuts and styles to satisfy anyone’s budget.  My favorite place to stock up on maxi-dresses is Old Navy.  I just ordered this gem in a recent sale (and it’s STILL 30% off right now!) along with a blue spaghetti strap maxi and it has quickly become a favorite.

I chose to accessorize with a brown braided belt, but you could just as easily throw on a skinny belt of any color (I get mine from Target) or throw a chambray button-down shirt over the dress and tie it at the waist if the weather gets cooler or you’re warding off the chill of over-zealous air conditioning.

If you’re worried about the length, wear shoes with heels-chunky wedges for day or pretty high-heeled sandals for evening.  For this outing, I wore my gold Katarina sandals from Ann Taylor, but swapped them out at night for my Michael Kors brown wedge sandals for some added height.  I went from running errands to celebrating my oldest son’s 17th birthday dinner with just a swap of shoes!

    I like to wear a scarf at the waist of my maxi dresses.

    What do you were underneath for thigh chaffing? Needless to say, I don’t have a thigh gap, lol.

      There are anti-chafing sticks you can use on your thighs. Runners use them when they train. I think the most popular one is called Body Glide Anti-Friction Stick.
