$75 Lisa Leonard Gift Card

I bought this sheer maxi dress a few months ago with plans to wear it as a fun cover-up in Palm Springs. It ended up being WAY too hot to wear it so I brought it home and forgot about it. I don’t usually care for the look of sheer maxi’s with short skirts underneath but when I tried to pair this with a longer slip dress, it just didn’t look right.

P.S. So I saw Magic Mike XXL this weekend with one of my besties. We were cracking up on more than one occasion but OH EM GEE…when Joe M. (Sofia Vergara’s fiance) did his dance in the convenience store…highlight of the movie. Although Channing was the best dancer. And now I can’t get the song Pony out of my head. LOL!

According to WhoWhatWear.com, belting scarves is the thing to do again. I remember when I first started blogging and Sydney of The Daybook was one of my biggest blogger inspirations. Hard to believe she is now a mom of TWO…but I digress. Belting a scarf seemed like BEYOND fashion forward to me at the time but I gave it a whirl in this post from 2011. And thank goodness she also taught me how to tuck in my long belt ends too. Way back when, I would have just had the end of the belt poking out all awkward I’m sure. =) My scarf today is more of a poncho or blanket scarf (I found it in the scarf section at Kohls) but it stayed put better than I thought it was going to. I’m looking forward to trying this look again with a traditional scarf next time!

I picked this dress up last week at the Swirl Boutique Indah trunk show. I’ve got another dress in this exact same print but the style is so different that I had to have it (see the other one here). Plus I got a fabulous trunk show price/discount so it was too good to pass up! Sorry for the strappy-back look two days in a row but I warned you that I was obsessed. I know this look is not for everyone but you could easily wear a tank underneath if you prefer to show less skin. It also makes for a great beach cover-up worn without the belt!

One of the first reasons I fell in love with fashion blogs was because I LOVED that these girls were sharing links to the items they were wearing so I could run out and buy them. So I always feel a little bad when things I wear are no longer available. This dress is now sold out. It sold out almost immediately so when I saw one pop back into stock in my size, I snagged it. It was a splurge but I adore the bold print. While palm prints are totally on trend right now, the wrap style is a classic that will never go out of style. Although I do have to admit the neckline drove me a little bonkers. It is very low-cut so I had to safety pin it shut. I’m thinking I may just add a snap to keep it a little more buttoned up.

In other blogging news, starting next week, I am going to lighten my blogging schedule to just three days a week instead of five. So the new schedule will be Mon, Wed, Fri. I’m sure I will occasionally add in extra posts, but summer has just begun and I am already struggling to find the time to keep up with my blog routine. With my son out of preschool, we are taking swim lessons and have a few family trips planned so I am just going to enjoy the additional time with my family instead of stressing about getting a post up every day during the summer months. I LOVE blogging and am so thankful for all of you who take the time out of your busy schedules to visit so I promise things will be back to normal in September! Happy summer, my friends! xoxo
