Cinderella needs a Ball for her new Gown!

I don't have a ball to go to but I did cave and buy this gown! 

The best part? It was reduced and then on sale! I got this gorgeous silk gown for less than half price! 

I also bought this more casual maxi dress or "gown" as I like to call them which is perfect for a nice night on a patio. 

Toronto is under extremely hot weather right now, and I bought this to beat the heat! 

Yes I do realize that these dresses look almost identical, however, one is obviously far more formal, and the other casual. I love maxi dresses and am really hung up on teal right now! 

I'm looking forward to wearing this one this weekend! 

Summer Dresses I would like to add to my Collection!!

I was doing some online browsing - just browsing I promise! and I found a few dresses that I really wish I could buy.... but I need to buy so many things for the condo that they really aren't an option at this point.... hmmm... maybe end of summer sales for next year? 

If you don't already wear a lot of dresses - what are you waiting for?? 

Don't wait until you're too old to pull them off! Bust out those legs now!

I probably will order this pink tulip dress... but I'm seriously trying to control myself! 

I know I'm totally obsessed with Zebra print right now! 

This is a really cute dress and is a great length if you work in an office! Liven up the cubicles with pink ladies! 

Are you sensing my dress obsession yet? 

Enjoy summer - get yourself into a dress! Forget pants! you can wear them the rest of the year! If you live in Canada like I do, or any other country along a similar equatorial parallel, you don't get enough months of summer, take advantage while you can!

So that is my mini rant.... if I have inspired you to get yourself into a dress please let me know in the comments below :) 

Happy shopping!

Maxi Dresses!! I must have more for summer!

My favourite summer dress style right now: The Maxi Dress!

The perfect dress for going from day to night in during the summer.  

Or as my friends and I call them - Gowns! And I am really loving this first gown!! I'm not sure if I can hold back from ordering it.... 

I really want a nice printed gown but I cannot seem to find one that I like, yet... 

The great thing about this style of dress is that you can get them from almost any retailer, from Old Navy to Banana Republic, Piper Lime and everything in between like R&W and Jacob! 

Depending on the material, style and cut you can wear these dresses as beach / poolside cover ups or for a night out with your favourite person 

I really want this dress, I have an identical one in blue but I really like the berry shade!!! I'm watching for promotions because I got the blue one last year at half price! 

One Caution - make sure that the fit flatters your body, because the length can make you look really frumpy if it is too baggy!! 

I have also seen some denim atrocities - whatever you do, do NOT buy a denim Maxi dress!! No one should EVER have that much denim on their body!!!

Get yourself a maxi dress and get out and enjoy summer!
