My Closet
Outfits I Own and Adore

 Maxi Dress from Body Central
Found this on a shopping trip with my sisters and positively fell in love. I can't remember how much it was, but we spent the next hour searching other stores to find the perfect white tee shirt to wear underneath it! It's a detailed piece, so I don't accessorize very much with it. Just some blue dangle earrings and sometimes a ring, with my brown ballet flats or silver/grey heels, depending on the occasion. It's great for both casual and semi-formal because of the fabric, and the bodice piece doesn't outline the bust like most non-smocked maxi dresses have a tendency to do. It's a perfect summer dress. Unless you live in Florida, then it's great all year 'round.

Fall Gypsy
That pink turtle neck is one of my favorite tops. I love the color and shape. It's contoured without being impolite, plus it's lengthy hem makes it perfect to pair with tiered skirts and a belt, two of my favorite clothing pieces. I got the shirt from Target, the belt from Maurices, and the skirt from Wal-Mart (a surprisingly lucky find). On the beach, who needs shoes?
Since it's hard to find good shirts, I picked up two more turtle necks like mine in different colors for my sisters. For one sunday in Florida we each wore a scarf that coordinated, and each with our own tiered skirts, we felt quite trendy.
