Let's begin the week with a styling question, shall we?
My friend Erin asked:
"I was wondering how you would style a navy blue maxi dress (short sleeve) for winter? My office is relatively casual, so work appropriate/casual ideas would be much appreciated."Maxi dresses are awesome because they're so versatile. Since they're long, when maxis are layered well, they can actually be a warm option for cold weather. (Plus you can throw on a pair of leggings or tights underneath, or even socks if you're wearing boots... no one will know!)
Here's how I'd winterize a maxi dress, with a nice casual work environment in mind:
Hope this helps. As always, feel free to leave comments if you're reading and have additional ideas!
Does this apply to non-jersey style maxi dresses too? I have a rayon/cotton one that I've been thinking about trying to wear, but I think the material may be too light...thoughts?
ReplyDeleteGood question. If it's cotton/rayon, I think it should work with these styles in colder weather, material-wise (although it might not be the warmest to wear, haha). So yeah, go for it, if you're comfortable with it!
DeleteCan I borrow the book when you're done? :o)
ReplyDeleteIt's a library book, sadly - but you should be able to find it in MD! I think you'd like it.
DeleteAbsolutely love this post. I adore the maxi dress - is it summer yet?
