I believe dresses are the easiest pieces of clothing to wear. A fabulous non-wrinkling maxi dress even better. You throw it on and add an accessory or two and you're on your way *cues music from Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood* (if you have a toddler this will make sense).
I tend to shy away from maxi dresses because they shorten me but some days I just don't care. Leaving the house during a time crunch without looking like Hattie McHausfrau leaves no time for a internal debate on the length of my legs.

Interesting fact: In order to get this very moldable piece in my bag, I rolled it into a tight ball and stuffed it inside fake Tod. I was not playing!
I topped off the look with some warm layers already in my closet. A corduroy blazer bought when they were super cool and trendy. I don't throw away blazers. I just wait for them to come back in style. Sometimes they still fit.
Also wearing a white cardigan that I've been meaning to donate. It doesn't fit me well...and what do you do when you're wearing something ill fitting? Belt it, of course! I adore this snakeskin belt from the Savers thrift haul.
My final piece of flare is the lace infinity scarf I dyed and made myself. Thanks again for the yummy fabric, Ayana!

Are you a maxi dress fan?
Who among you feel like you've gained a gamillion pounds over the holidays?
In other news: The winner of the $25 Peapod Gift Card is Kristy Thiel. Yay!!!!
Also, I'm considering a monthly giveaway of something from my thrift store haul. Would you enter a giveaway for gently used yet fabulous items?

I love maxi dresses and skirts. I've been trying to incorporate more into my wardrobe. They're stylish but don't take too much effort. I definitely feel like I might have packed back on a few pounds thanks all this holiday eating but hopefully this working out three days a week will take it back off.
I love the way you winterized this maxi! I'm definitely a fan of easy, chic maxis. And I don't mind thrifted items :-)
You look cozy in that outfit! I don't often wear maxi dresses, but I think they look so cute on others!
Happy New Year! I think you look great! Theres something about maxi dresses that make winter better. Perhaps its the fact that I can hide my unshaven legs lol.
And yes I would join in on a thrift giveaway!
