Style | Black Maxi Dress & a Statement Necklace

by 42 Comments

I’ve had this thrifted black maxi dress for years now. I’ve worn it to a few events and every time I style it I remember how comfortable and versatile it is. It’s one of those all purpose dresses that I’m so glad I have in my closet. Every girl need an all purpose dress (or 2) in their wardrobe, right?

I love how flowy and free this dress is and the lightweight material is an added bonus. For a Sunday afternoon filled with errands, a walk in the park and possibly dinner with hubs, this is the perfect outfit. The sandals give the dress a more relaxed feel and the gorgeous necklace, purchased this weekend at a jewelry fair in Gaithersburg, MD adds the perfect boho chic element. When I saw the necklace hanging there, I knew I had to add it to my collection. Before I could even think to purchase it, hubs had surprised me and purchased it as a birthday gift. How thoughtful?!

The dress is also perfect for year round styling. With a cardigan and closed toe flats, or even a pair of ankle boots, this dress is fall-ready. I can even picture a ankle length duster or kimono being worn over the dress. While that may hide the ruffle and lady-like detailing, it’s still adds style and functionality to the garment.

    Hey Whitney,

    I admire your confidence in mix matching your outfit and how you wear it. Totally natural. Especially you took your statement necklace into a new level with what you wear. I remember my friend told me that wearing maxis would such be a hassle. I totally disagree because it took me comfort on wearing it. I don’t know if you’d agree on me but being confident is just being comfortable on how you wear it.

    Always,
    Meg
