I wore this today. K, see ya.
Hahahahaha, just kidding. I'm still here. But I'm really gonna go soon because Chase took me out to dinner (sushi) and now we're going to watch a movie (netflix) so essentially it's a date...and I'm cheating on him with the internet. He'll never find out. He never reads this anyway.
K, just a quick snippet about my outfit.... I had picked out two outfits last night. They were both okay and I was iffy on them which is why I had two. But then I woke up and felt bloated...probably from the brownie yesterday...and skinny jeans were the last thing on my mind...since I was bloated. So I decided to wear a maxi dress. I need to stock up on these! So super duper comfortable.
Also, I stole this necklace from my cousin. Cousin, if you're reading this, I'm sorry but not really because your mom gave it to me. I still love you. I'll see you some holiday soon. Love, me.
I'm wearing a cardigan from some Korean clothes boutique ($14), Forever 21 maxi dress ($5 - buy similar!), secondhand gold beaded necklace (took it from my cousin), Old Navy belt ($10 - buy it!), and Forever 21 boots ($16 - buy similar!) with a JCPenney bag (free with gift cards).
Elaine, super hot dress. I'm now checking them out. Because I want to be you when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteP.S. you continually amaze me. You post more than anyone I know and you work. Full-time. Again, I want to be like you when I grow up. That's my goal...soon. I want to try to post more often than I do. I started a cooking blog and I'm awful at posting there too. But you inspire me. Gonna try harder! (www.chereadrienne.wordpress.com if you're interested). I also started a project 365, but I havne't posted any of those pictures yet because I can't decide if it deserves its own blog or if I should add it to my professional site. Thinking of keeping them separate. hmm.
I miss our dates. Come back to Utah!!
Love it! Great outfit inspiration...think I'll make a trip into my closet now... :)
ReplyDeleteLove the whole look. The colours, the cardigan over the maxi, those boots. All to die for.
ReplyDeletethis is probably my favorite outfit you've worn! love the boots and the belted dress :)
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see you wear this maxi dress, it makes me more inclined to try one out myself! I love how many ways you've worn this. I keep thinking they are only one-dimensional. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteAnd the boots give the outfit a completely different feel too. Love it.

I LOVE maxi dresses, they are great when you are having a fat day, so comfy, but I have problems accessorizing them, really like how you did it
ReplyDeleteThat maxi dress looks great on you! Very chic! And your necklace is adorable. I can see why you stole it. ;) Haha! I have a few things that I've borrowed from my sister-in-law as well...
ReplyDeleteVery sleek and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! you look amazing! I can't believe for a second you felt bloated!

I love maxi dresses so much. I wore one to a rodeo today. It was so much cooler than the denim, plaid and boots everyone else was wearing in the 80 degree heat. Suckas!

I love maxi dresses and this one is fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the military-esque tones in this outfit! That necklace is such a great steal Elaine! It'll look so good over a white t-shirt too! I agree--you need to get more maxi dresses since you wear them so well!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in a maxi dress! I've always been afraid to try them because I feel like I'll look even shorter than I already am (5") .... But this outfit is sort of changing my mind, haha. x)

ReplyDeleteYeah, it does.. Only because I hate switching purses!
ReplyDeleteElaine- this look is bomb. Your hair's getting long! It looks pretty glamorous. Seeing as I am perma-bloated for the next half a year, I need to get myself a whole bunch of those dresses.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks so much!!!
ReplyDeleteNo, do it!! I love it. I think it makes us shorties look taller.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I was a little wary myself but there was a point I just didn't care and now these boots and this maxi is my go-to comfy combo!

ReplyDeleteI love this look. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this look. :-)
ReplyDeleteAhh. I love how you did this! I've been thinking for practically forever that I want a maxi dress, cause they just look sooo comfortable and cute. But, I'm always frightened I'm waaay too short and will just look like a short stout lump.
ReplyDeleteOk NOW I need a maxi dress like that! awesome combination!
ReplyDeletespeaking of maxi dresses...Charlotte Russe is having a happy hour today and they are $15. I got a text about it yesterday. It's from 4-5 today (Saturday) in store and online (Eastern time)...just passing along some info. It's on my blog too...have a great weekend and your outfit is great! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I have a maxi dress that I've had such a difficult time styling for a while, after looking at this, maybe I'll go play with it a bit more today!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!!! I really need to get myself a maxi dress...grrr!!! XD

You look awesome! I really love that necklace. And aren't maxi dresses just great?
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is really style and just looks super comfortable. I mean I believe your post about the fact it is comfortable, but it looks that way as well. I need to try boots with a maxi dress. I'm leery of trying it myself, but everyone in my blogger seems to be able to pull it off amazingly!
ReplyDeleteI love all dress' . You look adorable in it. And I liked the boots, I own a pair similar to those Hope you had a great date :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness between your look today and this look here: http://tandsdaybook.blogspot.com/2011/02/insert-title-here.html I'm dying for a black or grey maxi dress to wear with my black boots!! You both wear it so well!!

I love everything about this outfit. Everything! I want to own it. I am putting that dress on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI see your g-lines! See? I'm all up on mormon-lingo. Does that make me cool enough to join the mormon blogger directory???
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love this outfit, I'm still too scared to wear maxi skirts, but you do it beautifully.
And my husband is ALWAYS waiting for me to finish blogging so we can watch some netflix stuff.
Kimmie, you're practically Mormon!
ReplyDeleteGuys just don't understand us!
ah!!! the bag again. blast it. i want it. the maxi dress is working. i'm a fan. and sushi?! i'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit. So beautiful. I wouldn't have thought to pair a maxi dress with boots.
ReplyDeleteYou radiate classy, my girl.

Aren't Maxi-dresses just the best? Lovin the stolen necklace ;) And hey am I losing my mind and just missed your Smashion giveaway winner announcement, or not? I've looked and can't find it but maybe I just missed it...
ReplyDeleteYou look so casual and stylish in that outfit, and what a great way to wear a maxi dress! I'm totally stealing this outfit idea! Have a great weekend:)
ReplyDeleteI love how maxi dresses look on others, but I'm so afraid of wearing one cause I'm really short! Any tips Elaine? :) Thanks x
ReplyDeleteYour bag seems to go with everything from your closet..love it! And I agree with you! Maxi dresses are just so comfy, and you can style them up or down. Amazing :)
ReplyDeleteNow I'm convinced I should try a maxi skirt. I'm a shorty, and I always feel like I can't wear a maxi skirt. Yours looks awesome though. While I'm not upon all the Mormon lingo was Kimmie talking about the garments you wear to temple by g-lines? A friend of mine in high school was Mormon.
ReplyDeleteMy Heart Blogged
wow the bag looks so luxurious!!!
ReplyDeleteAlways love how maxi skirts look on others, but never wear them myself - maybe I should try one!
ReplyDeleteAlso, love that necklace, it's so pretty. :)
