You guys know about my Saturdays, right? Get up, get dressed, go to a local cafe and write some stuff. Drink too many coffee’s over ice and come home when my battery dies or I really badly need to pee, whichever comes first. This is what I wore out the weekend before last. I love maxi dresses and skirts for this type of outing, they’re just so easy to manage and comfortable. Sometimes shopping centres are cold, so I always layer. And sometimes it’s been a day or two since I washed my hair {hello messy knot}.
Such is life, right?
It wasn’t until Hubby took these photos that I realised with the slight slip of the pink top off the shoulder, combined with the knotted front that I looked very maxi dress version of the let’s get physical music video without the headband or butt Lycra I considered ditching the whole thing but I was running late anyway so thought stuff it. I’ll just tell people I’m being ironic if they ask.
No one asked.

LOVE this outfit! Never thought of doing the knot under the boozies, love. I don’t do the maxi, but I need too. I’m a shortie, those beads are all kinds of awesome! Casual for me are comfortable cottons, white is what I’m thinking – it is so freakin HOT here today.
Thanks! The knot was a bit of an add on because the shirts too big. I even almost had a bit of midrift out the other day thanks to the knot. Now THAT was a bit of a moment. Haha. Love white, I’m still looking for the perfect pair of white jeans or skinny pants.
I’m liking these from Crossroads http://tiny.cc/std7ow
I tried these, the new cut is too small for me even in the 22. Sigh. But worth a look, cheap and cheerful and a decent material weight from memory.
Cute and colourful outfit, would go just about everywhere!
Thanks Janet, it absolutely would. And does!
I love the 80s vibe of this outfit, you look fresh and summery!
Thanks Mandie. The maxi is so great for summer, it’s counter intuitive with all that material. But it works. Haha.
Breezy 🙂 Plus it’s great for when you don’t have time to shave your legs!!
HA. Absolutely.
Running late and not having enough time to do a rethink on an outfit has served you well the watermelon coloured tee over the maxi is a great little combo. A great risk that ended well. X
Thanks T. xo
