Black Maxi

I wore this dress to an all-you-can-eat hot pot dinner a couple weeks ago.  The dress is identical to the Striped Maxi I posted last month, however I noticed that the solid black made it appear more formal.  I opted for my "Shana" necklace to tone it down, but someone still ended up asking why I was dressed so formally.  I explained that it's actually a casual maxi, and I chose it because I wanted something loose-fitting so I could eat a lot, and I wanted a color that wouldn't get dirty if oils were to splash up.  They chuckled that so much thought seemed to be put into it, but for me it was just common sense.

Here is the dress with the necklace I originally intended.  All my hair sticks broke so please excuse the chopstick in my hair! lol

Draped in Mauve

I wore this outfit to my first Houston Fashion Bloggers Meetup at Qwashae Boutique earlier this month.  I like draped dresses, but I almost didn't buy this one because I felt it enhanced my already large hips a little too much.

Asymmetric Dot Mesh

I'm back!  I've been so busy this month that I kept getting sick, and the thunderstorms haven't helped.  I have all the outfits I've worn to show you, starting with this LBD.

The heel less shoes are very comfortable, and they feel just like wedges.  Unfortunately the sole is pretty thin with no heel reinforcement, so after two wears the heel has already frayed.
