dresses

If there is one piece of clothing that I can’t live without it is a black maxi dress.  And, I definitely can’t travel without it.  You can use it for everything: pair it with a jacket, sequin or denim, and it looks like a million bucks.  A great jersey maxi dress can easily be hand-washed while you travel and you don’t have to worry about spills because they never show.  I wore my maxi dress across Europe with my daughter and it was a dream.  I even used it for the plane because I could tuck my feet up under me to sleep (thus the hand-washing).  I wore it with a leather jacket when it was chilly during the day and with a wrap for evening.  C’est Magnifique!

I like pieces that I can get lots of different uses out of and this is it.  Amazon has one just like the one I am wearing in the photo and it even has pockets.  It’s perfect and you can’t beat the price.  I could sleep in it if I had to.  I use my black maxi dress so much that I also have one that is off the shoulder with a ruffle, for hot summer evenings, and I have a sleeveless maxi dress as well.  My arms are not for public consumption and I don’t want to frighten young children so that one I wear with a jacket or with another short sleeve t-shirt underneath.  Options, options, options.

For the price of these on Amazon, I am thinking that a navy maxi might be just the thing for Summer Holidays like Memorial Day and July Fourth.  Or think of a wine red maxi with big silver jewelry, maybe with some turquoise mixed in.  You will be the bell of the ball.   And I found another style here that is super forgiving so I ordered it in an army green, a color that I find very flattering on almost everyone.

Please tell me about the must-have in your closet.
