{Personal Style} Maxi Love


[maxi dress: Target, sparkly sandals: Aldos]
This weekend, my life was filled with celebrations and cocktails, because, you know, I got a new job and all. (Have you read that post about me getting my dream job, yet? Check it out!)

The weekend began with sangria and happy hour on Friday night, which was followed by clubbing on the Lower East Side. Saturday morning, Aiden and I headed to Governor's Island (I shared a bit about that on the Mommy Delicious Facebook page) and enjoyed a day of fun in the sun and bike riding. Saturday night, I enjoyed martinis, dinner, and dessert in the East Village. And Sunday, Aiden and I went on a Kiddie Cruise that sailed along the Hudson River, with a stop to check out Lady Liberty on Ellis Island. It was a playdate to remember. And this weekend was one that'll go down in history.

Whew! Just thinking about it makes me excited again.

For the Kiddie Cruise (more on that later this week), I wore a fun maxi dress that featured a halter and V-neck neckline. It was colorful, lightweight, simplistic, and fun -- perfect for a cruise around Manhattan.

I've been hesitant to purchase a maxi dress because I didn't think that I could pull it off with flats, but I really loved this look. What do you think?

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend and wishing you all a very stylish week!

  10. You look great in that dress! Not everyone can pull that off. When I wear maxi dresses, they kind of consume me (doesn't help that I'm short!).

  11. You look great in this dress! Not everyone can pull it off. I have a hard time with maxi dresses as they tend to take over me (doesn't help that I'm short!).

  12. Sounds like a great weekend. Love the dress. I'm a maxi girl myself -- wear 'em just about every day in the summer (slimming and comfortable -- just what I need). Most of mine I wear with cute flats, but my longer ones I do wear with heels. You look GREAT!
