OOTD: My summer trend- Open Maxi Dresses









What I'm Wearing:
1. Sheer Lace Maxi: Free People, Small
2. White tank: Abercrombie&&Fitch, Extra Small
3. Destroyed Short: Ruehl, 0
4. Hook && Eye Elastic Belt: c/o Windsorstore.com
5. Strap Heel: Hautelook, Size 9
6. Rose Cuff: TJ Maxx
7. Pendants: Assorted Drusy pieces
8. Crystal Chain: Nordstroms
9. Sunglasses: Gucci
10. Manicure: Chanel 'Steel'
11. Pedicure: Orly 'Rage'

Open Maxi's are my favorite summer look. Look for dresses that have the full button
option (like a slip) so you can create this style. 

This is a great piece to add drama to any outfit but still stay cool in the summer time (it's a full length dress but adds no heat or weight to your outfit!) Also it's great for girls who might be uncomfortable wearing shorter shorts- you can cover up your backside while still having the comfort of easy to wear shorts!

I'll do a full video soon on different style open maxis and what to pieces to pair them with (I especially like to wear patterned shorts with this look!).
