Apparently I am making this my yearly announcement (the last announcement came in January 2013) - Ladies, your maxi dresses/skirts work just as fabulously for Winter as they do for Summer. Layer up the jackets, scarfs, & hide an extra layer of tights underneath… the maxi truly is a year-round staple!

I could live in this dress (& have before) so my arm definitely does NOT have to be twisted to leave it hanging in my closet even in cooler months (thank you polar plunge!)

What Summer look are you surprised to find works equally well during the Fall/Winter months?

dress perfection

{ What I Wore to dinner: dress ℅ White Plum // J.Crew hat // Michael Kors cross body bag (solid, patterned) // black wedges (ancient from Target, but just purchased this pair) }

All during the honeymoon, I gushed to Tyler that I could literally live in this dress… the ironic thing was that we lost our luggage for a hot minute (2 days), so I DID in fact end up wearing it for 3 days straight… & I didn't hate it. If that isn't the best endorsement you have ever heard, then I can't help you.

But for serious, this dress was the most clutch player during our 2 week vacation. I wore it scrunched up with flats on the beach, worn long with heels for dinner, with booties & a jacket in NYC & on a cross-country trip from JFK to LAX. The soft jersey fabric was super soft & felt great on my skin after a long day in the sun.

Since returning from the honeymoon, this dress has remained in heavy rotation. Not often do you find a piece that so effortlessly transitions from the beach, the big city & everyday wear too!

Looking for some key dresses to add to your wardrobe? White Plum has some great options that are sure to be heavy hitters in your closet. The solid maxi wrap dress is a perfect pick, in solid colors or pretty patterns!

P.S. Can we get a round of applause for Tyler? He was a wonderful outfit photographer while on the honeymoon, apparently give the man enough fruity rum drinks & he will do just about anything! 

P.P.S. I can't believe we have already been married for a month as of yesterday - where does the time go!? For all of those looking forward to wedding week, it will start on Monday!
