Back to Basics

DSC_9191
This may be the most cozy dress ever. I spent yesterday prancing around Milwaukee in this black maxi dress soaking up the sun on rooftop decks and strolling around shopping. Since the dress is so simple, I added these pink espadrille wedges from Bucco and a colorful magnetic charm bracelet by Ulinx along with my standard gold accessories. I always feel the best in the most fuss-free and basic outfits.

Nothing says easy like a breezy maxi. You look positively radiant. Or is that the sun?

No way. It's you. :)

Idée Géniale said...

I just bought a basic black dress as well, and feel oh-so- classy in it. It's not maxi, due to my shortness but it's definitely below the knee length.

These pictures are beautiful!!
Hope you're enjoying your summer and whats left of it!
