Maxi dress for church

August 19, 2019 /

Why is is that most of my maxi dresses are sleeveless? I do love a sleeveless maxi for wearing for everyday or on date night, but it limits them for me since in church we cover our shoulders. So I went about looking at my closet to find a couple layers I could add to one of my favorite dresses.

I like that the waist is at the natural waist because I have found that a lot of maxis have empire waist and those do not do me any favors (and make me look pregnant). The dress is about 4 years old and I have worn it for pictures at the beach, my 40th birthday party and a few more occasions. The halter top and neckline make it kind of dressy so I chose toppers that were more on the casual side.

With a white denim jacket

I probably would wear this look mostly in the spring when it is cooler but I do like how the white lightens up and makes the look more casual.

I am wearing pair of sandals from Target that I got on clearance at the end of summer last year. I need to take a good picture of them: they have a nice chunky heel and a larger strap at the top. Take my word on it: they are really cute!

With a short sleeve jacket

I typically wear this little jacket to top a dress so it made sense to try it with this dress too. I find the khaki color goes with pretty much anything. Because of the sleeve length, this would work very well for summer time at church.

I chose to wear a pair of earrings that my brother gave me for my birthday last year. I probably wear my Nickel and Suede earrings 90% of the time but I do have other earrings! Most are gifts or finds on clearance.

Now to wear this to church soon!

A bientôt!
