I pride myself on being prepared. At all times. Also, I enjoy a good theme party and go all out for one. So imagine how shocked I was when I had a 007 theme party to go to and nothing to wear??? If you've been following me on Instagram, then you know a few weeks ago I went to Club Getaway, which is an adult summer camp. Yes, it was as amazing as it sounds. Tons of leisure time, thrilling activities, parties, food and more. And because we're adults, there were drinks.But I totally didn't realize the theme for Saturday night's party was 007. I missed that email. I had a black romper I packed with me so I guess I could have made that work, but I was so ticked off I wouldn't have a great 'fit.And then the heavens opened up!TJ-maxx-looking-fly-on-a-dime-connecticut

Ah, summer is here. Well, it's not officially here and it's been a little chilly and gloomy in NYC lately, but summer is just a few weeks away. That means it's summer style season aka maxi dress season. Yay, right?! But if you're anything like me, then you might dread shopping for a maxi. My specific dilemma is that I'm short. 5'2" to be exact.But I've found a few ways to embrace my love of the maxi dress without dragging the hem on the ground or tripping over it. And of course I'm sharing them with you! Looking Fly on a Dime: black maxi dress with a red crop top

How to Style a Maxi Dress in Multiple WaysThere's nothing I love more than a maxi dress for summer. It's ideal for a casual weekend, the office or a comfortable travel outfit when you want to jet set in style.

I have a simple black maxi I scored years ago for less than $15 and it's always in heavy rotation throughout the spring and summer months every single year. Though I adore it, it's getting a bit boring.
But what do you do when you love a garment but want to inject new life into it? Check out multiple ways to wear a maxi dress.

Thrifty Threads 365 is a fashion challenge where I will only thrift shop for an entire year. I’ll show you how it’s easy and wallet friendly to satisfy your style needs with secondhand finds. For full details, check the original post here.
Thrifty Threads 365: Maxi Dress and Crop Top ComboThere's something so effortless about a maxi dress. It's a simple one piece, but the floor grazing effect has a regal feel to it. And a maxi is my go-to piece when I'm in a rush, traveling or just don't feel like getting dressed.
I've had this super soft cotton maxi dress for at least five years {purchased from Strawberry for less than $15!} and it's seriously on its last leg, but I can't seem to let it go. To add a different feel to it, I layered a vintage cut off t-shirt over it.
