Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Shopping Finds~New Maxi Dress

September 25, 2014 by Katie Haller

The seasons are changing, so I’ve been keeping an eye out for cute new fall clothes. Usually, in the early Fall, I’m looking for cute sweaters and dresses that I can wear with a cute pair of boots. But not this year. I won’t be needing all those warm clothes when I’m living in a warm climate. With this in mind, I’ve been on the hunt for a cute maxi dress. Something that I can wear here in Michigan throughout the fall and also wear it as a summer dress.

While browsing through the clearance section at Target, I came across this pink and purple pattern maxi dress. It was only $8.98, 70% off the original price. I decided to go ahead and buy it. I really couldn’t beat the price. The dress is very simple on its own, but with the right accessories, it will be perfect for work, church or anywhere else I want to wear it. I accessorized the dress with a jean jacket, brown belt, brown wedged shoes, and a pearl necklace. I’m really loving this look. I just had to share it with all of you! What do you think?
