My maxi dress is making another appearance. Some things, despite not costing a lot, really stand the test of time. I’ve worn this in cooler temps with a blazer, and in the heat of summer. This time, it’s the Goldilocks phenomenon: Not too hot or too cold. It’s just right. So I wore my dress with a light, cotton cardigan.

Cardigan: Best Kept Secret
Sandals: Swapped
Ring: Best Kept Secret
I’m glad the weather is nice enough for maxi dresses and sandals again. In fact, we’ve had a pretty dry June in Seattle–a rare thing! They say summer starts on July 5th around here.
My favorite part about wearing simple pieces is that I can pull out all the stops with accessories. This oversize ring caught my eye when I was in the store where I bought the cardi. I had to have it (it was only $10). The petals match my cardigan and the cloth center matches my dress. Perfect!
What are your favorite summer pieces?

I wear my favorite pieces a lot too, Jean. This maxi dress is a classic, and you look great wearing it. Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday!
Thanks Patti! Funny how we always gravitate to core pieces.
Very versatile and you’ve paired perfect for the different seasons. You look amazing as always.
Thank you! I always appreciate your comments and enjoy hearing from you.
I too have a couple of pieces that weren’t all that expensive but have been a solid addition to my wardrobe.
Love maxi dresses, have one in blue as well. My only concern is that I am rather small, so I often have to have them altered at the hem.

Maxi dresses are great. Most of the time I don’t need mine hemmed, but altering clothing for a perfect fit is so worth it!
Thanks for your comment!
The cardi is cute, but its the dress on your fabulous shape and with your lovely ink that makes this a power house for you … you look positively MYTHIC! Watch out for total strangers making sacred offerings at your feet. It could happen when you’re wearing this goddess-y piece!
Oh my! Thank you so much for your kind words. I’ll be careful when I wear this dress. I had know idea about its powers 😉
