A Maxi Dress, a Statement Necklace, and a Giveaway

06/03/15 | Bauble Bar, Fashion Friday, J Crew, Jack Rogers, Kate Spade

Maxi Dress with J Crew Crystal Venus Flytrap Necklace and 360 Pearls

In the summer I live in maxi dresses.  They are soft, flowy, comfortable, and the closet thing to pajamas that are work appropriate.  I have a handful I wear to the office with cardigans but this blue ikat print maxi is one of my favorite weekend pieces.  I could cover up with a cardigan but I like to have the option to take it off if it gets warm and these spaghetti straps and low back make it a bit too risqué for the office.  

You will find me wearing this maxi dress to brunch with friends, over a swim suit when I am heading to the beach or for a casual picnic in Central Park, it is just that versatile! This is one way to wear it:

    They say that mimicking is a high form of flattery so I hope you won’t mind if I say that I love how you styled it! That is what I like to wear all summer! I find them so comfy and cool and easy to dress up or down.

    I think this necklace would look lovely with most anything but I’d probably style it with a plain top so it could really show itself off.

    Hi Kelly! I love your outfit, especially the look of the gold Jack Rogers against the blue in your maxi dress. It looks so mediterranean and makes me want to go on holiday! I love how you demonstrated the versatility of this necklace and showcased the wearability of your ensemble as the necklace makes your outfit not so casual but not too formal either. If I win, I’d really like to style this necklace with either a white crepe blazer for a business setting or a casual white tee for just everyday, because this piece really elevates any outfit. As you said, the versatility of this necklace makes the possibilities quite endless! I don’t own many necklaces or statement jewelry, but this piece from J. Crew makes me believe all I really need is one. Thanks for the giveaway and the very best regards! 🙂

    I love accessorizing colored tees (JCrew has my faves) with statement necklaces. Paired with a great pair of tailored shorts or a cute skirt – it’s such an easy, put-together look for summer.

    This dress is just beautiful! I love the bright colours and the semi-open back.

    I’d style it with an all white outfit (a little white dress, a white romper, or white shirt on white pants). Thanks for the chance.
