Today's look (as always) is simple and ready for summer. Maxi dress, jean jacket, cute sandals and a few accessories. Check it!
There's a little bit of back story with this dress. It's from Body Central and I think it's about $25. When I received the catalog in February, this dress was on the cover, and I really wanted it, but I resisted the urge to splurge, so I waited.

It's a beautiful kelly green color and looked so comfy. There are so many occasions you could wear it: running errands, hanging out with the family or even dress it up for a date night. I waited about 2 weeks before ordering it but the website said it was on back order until early March, but that didn't bother me. A week or two into March, I hadn't received any correspondence about it being in stock or a delivery date, so I put in a call about it. I was told the dress was completely sold out and there were no plans to get any more dresses in. WHAT?!? I was so disappointed because I had my heart set on it. Each time I went to the mall or Target, I was looking for something in the same color or same style, but never found anything comparable. Total bummer.
Cut to a month later, I was just browsing through Body Central at the mall with the twins, and I stumbled across the dress in 3 different colors; green, plum and orange. It was the best day! I purchased the green one and the plum one. The website doesn't carry it, but I'm sure you can still find it in store. But quite frankly, any maxi dress will work, and you can find them everywhere!

I bought the sandals about 3-4 years ago from Bakers. They are still pretty popular and they come in a few different varieties. Here is a link for the pair that Bakers is currently carrying and a pair from Aldo. Sandals from Bakers and Sandals from Aldo
The scarf is from Thirty One, and I bought it in 2012 when I was an Independent Consultant for them. The yellow isn't available any more, but they have a few others right now. It retails for $10, however, any cute, colorful scarf would work. Turquoise Scarf
Each of the other pieces have been featured in past blogs. The jean jacket was featured in past blogs and it's from Old Navy. Denim Jacket. The sunglasses are from Forever 21. Sunnies
The bag is from the Nine West Outlet and it's no longer available. I found one similar on the Nine West website. It's a bit out of my price range (the one I bought was less than $20) but I wanted to give you a general idea. Clutch The necklace is from the Banana Republic outlet, but I found a super cute one in coral and yellow on the Forever 21 website. Necklaces
This might be one of my favorite looks for the busy mommy (or busy woman) on the go. Let me know what you think. If you make a comment, I will do my best to answer you quickly.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone!
