I love maxi dresses. I love the way that they’re as comfortable as sweatpants, but cute and feminine as well. In the summertime, they are essential–I’m not a huge shorts-wearing-fan, but wearing jeans or long pants in 90º weather just isn’t an option! Maxi dresses are my best friend in the heat.
I got this dress from Kiki LaRue a few weeks back {similar} and immediately realized that I associate maxi dresses with the summer: I tend to ignore them when the temperature starts dropping.
Perhaps it’s my inner flower child that loves wearing flip flops with them or something?
So back to this dress. I decided I needed to figure out a way to style it as we entered fall. I’m excited to layer and transition it again as we head into winter!
I combined my favorite necklace {hurry! They are on clearance!}, some , {similar} and my I also layered a slip underneath — both for warmth and the sheerness of the skirt.
There are a few things that I just love about this dress. Not only is it super comfortable, but it would be the cutest maternity dress as well! {no, I’m not pregnant.} I let my friend Ashley, who is pregnant and super cute, borrow this dress for a party last weekend. It looked a million times better on her, I think! This is definitely a dress that transitions not only through the seasons well, but also through seasons of life. See what I did there?

Kiki La Rue often sells out quickly due to the high demand, so sadly this dress isn’t available anymore. But I have a few new favorites!! So many of these dresses are amazing — a few will be ending up in my cart for sure. I adore this tunic. And this sweater is like a blanket disguised as a sweater — WIN.
