Blue Floral Maxi Dress
Hello and happy Monday! This past weekend has been absolutely incredible and I’m currently writing from a boat as I’m enjoying the last few hours of our cruise ship vacation with Royal Caribbean! Stay tuned for a full post but in the meantime, head over to my Instagram for a few photos and behind-the-scenes clips in my Instagram stories.
In the meantime, I wanted to share this gorgeous blue floral maxi dress that is absolutely perfect if you’re looking for something summery with that vacation/beach vibe. The fit is like a dream with the criss-cross wrap style front and the flowy chiffon just makes you feel like you’re a princess! There are cutouts on the side that show just enough without making you feel exposed, and I am obsessed with the lace-up ties on the back!
It’s also not often that I find a maxi dress that doesn’t need hemming but paired with some tall wedges, this blue floral maxi dress was actually perfect right off the rack! There is petite sizing available as well although I didn’t see it online when I ordered (I’m wearing XS and am 5′ tall). I took this outfit with me on my last trip to Maui and not only is it great for concealing food babies but it’s also a dress that you can dress up or down!
Almost every summer I pick up a new maxi dress from Express (see here, here, and here!) but I have to say that this blue floral print one may just be a new favorite! Linking up a few other options below – use my code 8482 for 15% off:

That’s a gorgeous dress! I hadn’t even thought about what I was gonna wear for my nieces’ communion but you’ve inspired me to wear a maxi dress. It’s breezy, comfortable and not too formal.

You are the Queen of flowy dresses! The pattern on this dress is everything. There was a dress you previously had in another blog post I believe and I have it on my vacation wish list currently. This is so tropical. I was only into long dresses as of recently, but I’m loving them now! Gorgeous as always, Kileen!
