Versatile Maxi Dress for School or Date Night

Drop Fringe Statement Earrings for Date Night Maxi

Today’s outfit post is one I’ve been meaning to share for awhile. This black maxi dress made out of t-shirt material is one that I want to wear EVERY. DAY. It was perfect for our road trip out to Rhode Island but was sold out in store so I decided not to post it. But, we’re in luck! It is now back in stock, and on sale!! Grab it fast because you won’t find another just like it. I have looked all summer for a replacement but none of the others I’ve tried from H&M or Old Navy have an inner liner and end up being too thin.

I wore this outfit for our 3 year anniversary on Thursday! We snapped a few pictures after dinner before the sun went down even lower. I just love that I can add some great statement earrings and wear this dress for a special date night and also for a road trip! When school hits, I will add a cardigan and wear it to school! A great maxi dress can be worn in all seasons and this one is a GREAT one, available in multiple colors!

I love long weekends like last weekend! I can wear a comfy, casual outfit that I wouldn’t necessarily wear at work and I can read all day if I want! I love to read and lately, it’s like I just can’t get enough of young adult fiction books! Since my class is winding down for the year, I’m taking time to do some of those things that I’ve been craving – like reading! My poor husband! I just can’t put that book down to go to sleep at night, and I know he can see that kindle app glowing on my screen until he drifts off to sleep! Hopefully I will satisfy my craving soon!

Here are some of the YA Fiction books that I have enjoyed lately (Read eBooks using the FREE Kindle Reading App on Most Devices):

I have attached each series, but you can always buy them individually (or like I do, check them out from the library)!

Though last weekend was rainy, I was finally able to use this casual outfit when it got warm this weekend. I love this blue off-the-shoulder bell-sleeve top. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen this weeks ago. It’s very light and felt great on a hot summer day. The bell sleeves are so elegant and I love the detailing on the cuffs. This retailer has a ton of other great, affordable bell sleeve or off the shoulder tops (LOVE this one and this one).

I get questions and comments about this cognac structured purse all the time. It’s beautiful, large, and very sturdy. I pack that thing full of all sorts of things and it still hasn’t affected the shape at all. It stays structured and beautiful, and is under $50!

Pleated Pink Skirt for Work

Wear Pink Pleated Skirt and Oxford shirt to work

Any teachers out there? I don’t know about you, but isn’t the first day back from Spring Break just an avalanche of “things.” One day back and I’m already exhausted! But, my oh my, the weather was just stupendous over break. Though I ended up working through quite a bit of my break, I loved being able to get outside and even shoot some shots with the hubby.

Especially with the sun out, I’m itching for it to be summer already. I’m working on updating my wardrobe to feature more spring colors but I have to work with what I already have. I know I’ve worn this pleated pink skirt before, but I wanted to make it wearable at work. The best pieces in my closet are ones that I can dress up for a special night and dress comfortably for a day at work. Pleated skirts are great for that.

Spring wardrobe colors to me mean pink, white, yellow, mint and baby blue. Since I’ve had this blue oxford (outfit staple!) since my fall “back to school” shopping, it was an easy addition to my spring palette. The exact shirt I am wearing is sold out, but I’ve linked similar below and also a plain blue version of the one I’m wearing. The one I’m wearing has a great cut, making it fitted and flattering. I find a more fitted shirt is best to pair with a more full skirt, like this pleated pink skirt, to balance out the look.

Speaking of balancing out the look, I am in love with my new Monogram Necklace from Jane. Most monogram necklaces are super expensive but Jane’s was affordable enough that I took the plunge and I’m so glad I did. I wear it with everything, and we’re in luck because they JUST put them back on today!

What do you think? Do you have some date night pieces that you can make wearable at work? Let me know in the comments below!
