This was my first outfit that I chose for the Macy's campaign. I had a blast picking out clothes with my gift card from Macy's mstylelab. I only own one maxi dress (other than this one now!), but the problem was it's definitely a spring/summer dress so I wasn't really able to wear it during the winter. I love the idea of a maxi dress in the winter ever since I heard of the trick to wear leggings underneath them to keep warm. Luckily though, I wore this yesterday and it was actually really nice outside. David, his parents, nieces, and I went out to dinner and then dessert to celebrate his birthday. We had a lot of fun with them and it felt great to be able to wear a dress after such a lonnngggg winter. Which, if you haven't heard by now, came back with a vengence over night. Luckily, I was able to get some what of a dress-fix before the snow stormed its way back into Michigan.
Right now, Macy's app is offering an AWESOME sweepstakes! If you're a student, download their app. After you open it, there will be a chance to click on their Spin & Win contest.

Super cute! Love this dress!
I agree, in the winter, I get to feeling real sad not wearing dresses as much as I would like....but a maxi dress with leggings, might be a good option!

Omg I'm totally using this outfit as an inspiration for a party I am going to friday night. I totally understand the effy weather situation and love how you "winterized" the maxi.

Amy: isn't it the best idea?! I wish I had come up with it myself, but I'm just glad I know about this trick now!
Sinova: Thank you so much! You're very sweet! And isn't Bleubird wonderful? I love her blog.
Semirah: That's awesome that you're gonna use this idea! I just whipped it up because it was what I had on hand mostly, but I love that it kind of dresses the maxi down a bit and makes it more casual.

I love this outfit! The dress isn't casual at all which makes the chambray shirt perfect. Great choice!
