THE MAXI DRESS
By now summer is in full swing in most places. We got off to a slow start here in Buffalo, but in the past week we've had a bit of a humid heat wave. This maxi dress is one of my go-to's when it gets hot, hot, hot. Below is how you'll find it most days, with flat sandals, minimal accessories, and a casual updo. Soft, comfy, cool, and forgiving to my expanding baby bump.

| Dress: thrifted (no tags) // Sandals: Steve Madden (no longer available, similar here) // Bag: Banana Republic Kristen Tote // Bump: One baby at 12 weeks and lots of this |
Maxi dresses are also great candidates for dressing up, especially this one, because of its simple cut and color. I have some pendant earrings that verge on the ridiculous (because of their length) that are begging to be paired with this dress. It would also look great with a statement necklace and/or some bangles. Now I just need somewhere to go...
What is your go-to when things start to heat up? I'm especially curious about you other pregnant mamas!
Skirts and dresses, shorts and tees, whatever fits over the bump! Last summer I was so ginormous with the twins that I had only one maxi dress that was my go-to. This summer will be a lot different!
ReplyDeleteP.S. You look so great Mary!!!
You are so cute!!!! Love love love this dress on you! And your 4th bump is impressively tiny!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely. I was mid-pregnancy in summer of 2011. I wore mainly elasticized, drawstring-waist linen pants from Target . . . they shrunk length-wise in the wash . . . still wore 'em. It was a really ugly summer. _Where were you when I needed you, Mary_??? ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing, Mary! I fully plan on wearing maxis as often as I can this pregnancy! (or until the chilly months;).
