Today I am excited to pair up with the adorable Amy of Coffee Beans & Bobby Pins for our third and final maxi collaboration plus a fun giveaway! Our first maxi collab was a Fancy Maxi, then a Casual Maxi and now layers on layers (P’Trique shoutout).
I have loved teaming up with Amy and having a reason to chat with her on the regular. A fashionista blogger / resident wife / Ohio to North Carolina transplant…could we have more in common? She’s just as precious on the inside as she is in her cute as a button outfits on her blog, and I love following her adventures. I am not only envious of that tiny waist in that adorable camo jacket, but also of the fall leaves on the ground. I’m missing a Southern fall right now. California is still beautiful and super green – no complaints, it’s just different!
As for this layered maxi, I also wore this dress with my leopard linmade clutch here. Something about this pattern makes me want to mix prints and adding a blouse to belt gave the maxi a different feel. Learning to layer your dresses can really help you get maximum wear from the items in your closet. Blair Eadie from Atlantic-Pacific is so good at this!
dress – Forever21 (also worn here) / heels – Michael Antonio / lace overlay – Forever21 (old), similar here / bag – Meshka Design (c/o) / leopard calf hair belt – Target / sunnies – Ray Ban / bracelet – J.Girls Jewels (c/o) / watch – Swatch / stacked ring and earrings – boutique
Have you seen enough maxis and convinced yourself you must expand your maxi collection?
Thank you for reading! xo –
Thanks for the idea! I have a navy maxi that I would wear everyday if I could, and was trying to figure out a way to wear it this fall without the go to jean jacket.
I hope you got some ideas! Even just a belted blouse or cardigan can really mix it up.
I’m at Grammy’s and we want you to know that fall has not arrived in MS yet – you are not missing a thing! Love your dress and would have never thought to layer that top over it with the leopard belt. You be SO SMART!
Love,
Mom
