Weekly Under $40 Challenge

Old Navy Maxi ($8.47)
Urban Vibe Necklace ($6.99)
Vintage Coach Leather Handbag (thrifted - $3.99)
Fred Meyer Fleece Tights ($5.00)
Kensie Girl Heels ($7.99)
Total: $39.43

This is one of my favorite outfits in a while, I love a great maxi dress and it was fun to break out these items from the back of my closet.  I bought this dress along with it's cousin the wine colored dress almost two years ago on super clearance but I almost never wear this one. (It's always getting over shadowed by the wine colored one, even though this color is so versatile.)  The floral blazer I've only worn one other time on the blog but after seeing it in these pictures, I think I'm going to have to wear it more often.

thank you so much for all of your well wishes for Izzy yesterday, they really meant a lot. She's doing well and is back to her energetic, perky self.

  12. The blazer over the maxi dress always looks so polished. And this particular outfit could really work for all seasons because of the colors and the floral print of the blazer.
