Before we go full blast on Fall fashion in a few days, let’s take advantage of all the good sale featuring spring and summer essentials. This is actually the best time to shop for those items to get us ready for next year’s Spring and Summer season. Plus, we’ll get them all at a fraction of a price.

Let’s start with this Bailey Blue Women’s St. Tropez Maxi Dress that is certainly a stunning maxi dress that’s hard to pass up.

How can you say no after seeing all that stunning details on the dress? It’s a paisley print with St. Tropez design matching well with the colors of black, yellow, orange and brown. The colors and print are not clashing at all when put together in a blue canvas like this. It works for a casual day at the beach dress or a casual dinner party with friends and family. Pair it with a cute black gladiator flats to complete the look. It’s on sale for $49.99 at Overstock in sizes S and M.

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:25:57 +0000

I know we are slowly transitioning to Fall Fashion but I saw this Trixxi Floral Print Maxi dress and I just had to create a look out of it. Besides, Fall is still about 2 months away, heh. The dress is just too pretty and so affordable to pass up. Can you believe it’s only $15? Well, if you are a fan of the store where I found it, then yes, you’d believe it’s only $15.

I’m going to a Farmer’s Market this Saturday and I picture myself wearing this ensemble. A pretty casual outfit while shopping for organic vegetables and meat. How fun . I’m actually wearing a paisley print maxi dress tomorrow so in a way this is like the online version of what I would have wanted to wear for this food shopping adventure.

Dexie Wharton — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:30:38 +0000

This Fire strapless knit maxi dress from Macy’s is simple, clean, and very basic. With a few accessories, I know it would look fun and updated. So that’s what I did with this look for less ensemble.

I was just going to feature this satin bloom maxi dress from Forever21 but I think it deserves to have it’s look for less complete package.

Look For Less : Blue Maxi Dress & Gladiator Flats

Satin Bloom Maxi Dress, $24.80

Blue gladiator flats, $20.99

Antique Filigree necklace, $6.80

Twisted hoop earrings, $3.80

You can opt for a black pair of gladiator flats if that’s your preference but I wanted to “experiment” with this look so I picked a blue one.

I just added this maxi dress in my shopping cart so I have a feeling the next time I feature the dress, I’ll be the one wearing it. I’m excited.

Summer Look : Floral Smocked Maxi Dress

Dexie Wharton — Sat, 16 May 2009 13:48:43 +0000

You’ve seen my Forever21 Paisley Print Maxi Dress, now here’s the Floral Smocked Maxi Dress that I also bought from Forever21.

Summer Look : Floral Smocked Maxi Dress & Gladiator Flats

I did a mini-photoshoot with my husband as the photographer using the Nikon D40. I thought taking the pictures outside with the grass would look beautiful with the dress. I was right. I felt like a model .

This floral maxi dress is flowy and also very long. I had to scrunch it up a bit when walking to make sure I don’t step on the hem and fall flat on my face.

I paired it with my CATO gladiator flats, accessorized with a black bangle, hoop earrings, and sunnies. What do you think?

Under $50 Spring Look : Paisley Maxi Dress

Dexie Wharton — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 11:30:39 +0000

Like I promised yesterday, here is the first installment of my Maxi Dress Fashion show (haha). My spring look wearing the Forever21 Paisley Print Maxi Dress.

Spring Look : Paisley Print Maxi Dress & Gladiator Flats

Forever21 Paisley Print Maxi Dress, $22.80

Cato Gladiator Flats, $8

Sterling Watch, gift

Gold & Silver butterfly bracelet, gift

Teardrop earrings, $3.99

Black Sunnies, $10

This paisley maxi dress is gorgeous if I say so myself. Actually, my husband said it’s pretty . It’s also very comfortable and light. I have to tell you though that the dress is floor length. In the standing picture, notice how I was scrunching it on the side? Because it’s long and I wanted to show my gladiator flats in the picture too. I am 5′7 and the dress is still long for me. So if you are less than 5′7 height, you might have to get the hem shortened so you’re not dragging a tail when you wear it.

Overall, I love this maxi dress. And the whole thing (except the watch and bracelet) costs me $44.79

Liz Lange Maternity Maxi Dress

Dexie Wharton — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 13:28:35 +0000

I am quite jealous that Target offers pretty maxi dresses for pregnant woman. When I was looking for some a month ago, they only have solid colors. But look at this Liz Lange Maternity maxi dress.

How cute is that? The print is so lively and the color is very refreshing. So pregnant Women out there, here’s a maternity dress that I suggest you should get to stylish this summer. You would look even more radiant and beautiful in this dress.

It’s $19.59 from Target.
