The weather was hot and steamy again today and I was only more than happy to wear an easy, breezy maxi dress {especially cause I was outside at the Texas State Fair all day!}. My parents went on a cruise to Italy and Greece a month ago and my mom brought home this dress and necklace for me as a souvenir. My mom is seriously the best! The length was perfect on me as a maxi {I have a feeling this dress isn’t meant to be a maxi, lol} and I love the pairing of all white with turquoise accessories. It’s a combination I always picture with beachy Mediterranean lifestyles, so I had to give it a shot here in my little urban Dallas world too. 🙂
Although this outfit is rather simple, the beauty is really in how the dress moves. I love all the fabric and with even the slightest breeze, the dress begins to dance in the wind.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
P.S. In case you missed it:

I really love how you matched the turquoise jewelry with the white dress! Beautiful look!
Michelle says
The fact that your mom picked these pieces out in Italy makes them that much more awesome!
Your hair looks gorgeous!
Hope you had a nice time at the fair!

Ah, that dress is so pretty! You really do look like you could just float away in it.

Where did your mom go? I was in Rome just this past spring.
It's quite odd seeing you in this breezy, light, and Mediterranean dress just as I turned up the thermostat (it's about 40 degrees outside). Nevertheless you look stunning and I can now live vicariously through you.
Jane Squared says
you look absolutely lovely in these photos!
Elle says
So pretty! Kileen your pictures never fail to impress me!
Kileen says
I actually forgot where specifically in Italy but I'll ask for you. 🙂
And it's still super hot here in Texas. I actually had started to sweat by the late afternoon in this dress at the fair still, lol. I think it might get colder next weekend, but still in the 80s this week.

Such a BEAUTIFUL dress! And that last picture perfectly captures the essence of the outfit… 🙂

That dress looks beautiful on you! Being petite, I've been wary of the maxi trend because I think it makes me look shorter, but maybe I'm rong because it looks awesome on you!
