OOD 6.16.09: The Maxi


Well, it appears I've been on a Loft kick lately.  Today is the third piece from my little shopping trip the other day: the "Maxi Dress with Twist Strap" in black, which is the only color I've seen.  It's your typical maxi, but I really love the gathered band around the empire waist and the twisty straps.  The fabric is smooth, soft and stretchy.  The length is perfect for me in a size 4 and I am about 5'4 1/2" tall.  Shall we call it 5'5"?  I think I make it with the 1/2" heel on my sandals.  


This is the dress I bought the Jeanna sandals for, so of course I am wearing them, and I threw on an ATL cardi in a soft somewhat-Tiffany Blue color.  Easy dressing!

  6. That dress is so cute on you! I bought the cardi in 3 colors after your recommendation, and I LOVE them! I compared the fabric to my Jackie cardis and they are pretty much the exact same material blend. :)

  7. thank you all so much!
    Petunia - aren't they great cardis? And they are holding up really well... I think they are slightly thicker than the J Crew ones. My Misty Lavender Jackie pilled really badly where I tied it around my waist at Disney. I've been really happy with ATL lately.
