As the title of the post suggests, I cannot get over my obsession with wearing maxi dresses this Summer!  It’s an easy one piece outfit, I don’t have to shave and I don’t have to worry about too terribly much about showing off the weight I’ve gained on my lower body.  I actually don’t own a lot of long sleeve maxi dresses, this may be one of my first actually, and I’m kind of in love.  I recently discovered White Plum and will be back to shop for more there.  They’ve got a variety of stylish clothing for a great price (and often run specials too)!

And I finally caved and got the infamous Madewell Transport Tote.  I’ve seen is it worn numerous times on bloggers like Kendi Everyday and my friend Pretty, Polished, Perfect.  I have to say, it really does match with A LOT of different outfits with it’s neutral color and you can literally just throw everything in there, including my big camera (now that’s a bonus)!  I really mulled over the purchase for like ever… but am so happy I made the leap!

Shoes: Zara
Bag: Madewell
Sunglasses: Ray Ban
Gold Cuff Bracelet: Lemon Stripes
Rings: LUMO Jewelry, Oh Hello Friend

I wore this outfit for my last KC Blogger Meetup for awhile. 🙁  I really am so happy to have expanded my little blogging community here and am so sad to be leaving them.  I know that Utah has tons of bloggers too and I hope that I can find a group there as close as I am with some of the girls I’ve bonded with here.  Here’s a few pictures from the event!

The event was held at the Amigoni Urban Winery, it was my first time at this event space and it was just beautiful.  I love all of the decor and lighting in this space, it was just a little sad that I couldn’t taste the wine!  The food was provided by Urban Table and it was delish!  There were a ton of giveaways from local brands (too bad I didn’t win one though, but congrats to all that did), a fun little photobooth, and a scavenger hunt to get to know the other bloggers as well.  I really had an amazing time catching up with my blogging buddies and it was really sad to say “see ya later”!  But the wonderful thing about the internets is that I can still follow their lives through their blogs and social channels when I move.  I will miss you, my KC Blogger Meetup friends!!

    I adore this dress on you! It is unique to find a maxi with sleeves. I always love having sleeves. Love the cuff you paired it with. Sounds like a fun event!

    This maxi dress is so pretty on you. Now I have to go and check out this tote. I bought one from J Crew last year and it’s too stiff and the straps are too short for me to carry as a shoulder bag so I need to find another one.

    Hello, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, excellent blog!
