SUMMER OUTFIT: 2 WAYS TO WEAR A MAXI DRESS

WAY 1: GLAM

DRESS | TURBAN | SANDALS | HANDBAG | SUNGLASSES

In a shocking turn of events all accessories in this look are from Amazon. I’ll have an Amazon finds post coming for you guys next week so stay tuned for that…

When I originally planned this look this was my first thought. A head to toe obnoxious monochrome yellow look. The dress itself paired with the turban immediately make it glam but the lemon jelly sandals and PVC bag keep it down to earth ( haha in my head at least).

This dress isn’t excellent quality but it absolutely works for throw on and go when this Atlanta heat turns up. It’s insanely light weight, perfect for a beach vacay and a little sheer even though it’s lined. You can slightly see my black undershorts through the dress, I’ll have to wear actual short liner things that come in nude *rolls eyes*

I wear shorts undershorts under all dresses for numerous reasons. It prevents chub rub, it stops my booty cheeks from grabbing the dress material, it keeps my Britney safe from creepers eyes and the shorts smooth things out and lift things up a little bit. Oh, they also keep the booty from jiggling too much which helps to keep disgusting creepers from undressing you even more with their eyes and discourages completely inappropriate “advances”

The fact that I just wrote that is extremely foul, fucked up and wrong that that’s even a factor when I get dressed but that’s the world with live in. I digress …. but you know what I’m thinking.

Anywho …. I prefer teeny tiny athletic shorts over the spanx nylon type shorts. Athletic shorts are thicker and are more absorbant. The nylon just aren’t as comfortable to me. If you don’t have a fresh wax or shave hairs will poke through the nylon kind itching your legs and what not. That may be TMI to some people but it’s a real thing and 100% considered when making a what shorts to wear underneath decision.

WAY 2: CASUAL

DRESS | HAT | HANDBAG | SUNGLASSES | EARRINGS | SNEAKERS

With the change of shoes and a hat we instantly made this gloriously flowy maxi dress more casual chic than glam. TBH, I like the casual look more than the glam but that shouldn’t surprise anyone here. I mean, I’m cool and this look is cool! lol

This look was actually a last minute look I put together last minute, I’m talking at the end of shoot/done for the day but had this hat and sneakers in the trunk for a previous look and deciding to throw it on for on impromptu 2nd look. My random last minute throw on everything you’re loving at the moment are always my favorite looks. Occasionally, I look like Rainbow Bright (you win some you lose some) but 9 times out of 10 it’s an effortless chic look which is exactly what it is.

Next time you’re getting ready don’t think about an outfit just put on everything you’re obsessed with and see what happens. Worst case scenario, you look crazy and you change before you leave the house.
