I love maxi dresses for the weekend — they’re so easy to wear yet still make it look like you put in some effort before walking out the door. When I initially bought this dress, I had thought I’d always be wearing it with tall wedges and thus didn’t need alterations. Little did I realize that my taste would soon change to love seeing maxi dresses paired with flats {it’s just more of a boho vibe, I think}. And so I did end up lopping off a good 4″ to this dress just so that I could wear my flat sandals. I’ve never been more comfortable in a dress and it was awesome.
And did you see my attempt at an arm party? I’ve been wanting some wrap bracelets for awhile now {my Gorjana order still hasn’t arrived} but when I stopped in Forever 21 today I was thrilled to see a little tub filled to the brim with colorful bracelets fresh for the picking. And so my trip to the mall to return things ultimately led me to buying more things… hate it when that happens! But I am happy to finally have some arm candy to show. 🙂

Kileen! Love the beginnings of that arm party. I shamelessly want to wear many bracelets but can't find out how to make it work. I think that sounds silly now that I wrote it down but it's true! I think I think too hard about things sometimes!
LOVE your maxi dress! You look so fresh and ready to go. They are so comfy. I love throwing them on when I am thinking too much about what to wear. Simple easy breezy and beautiful!!
Love your necklace too!

whoever said maxi dresses were only for tall people was obviously wrong! You look stunning in this one! 🙂 wish i could pull the look off that well!
maxi dresses are definitely an outfit that is still new to me, but i love wearing them on weekends now!
i'm still trying to figure out how to make the arm party work too. i love these pieces from Forever 21 as they're very affordable and let me experiment. 🙂
thank you!! checking out your blog now!
yay!!! i'm so glad my blogging tips are useful. and i'm checking out your blog now!
That's such a bright & vibrant dress!! And your floral flats are pretty too!!! <3
Did I tell you before how much I LOVE this necklace of yours???
This looks great! I love all of your bold accessories!

The coral lip color looks great on you and I love the dress! The "arm party" thing is def something I've been loving, but I do feel like some stores charge waaaay too much for a little bit of thread, glad u found these at F21…I'll have to go take a look myself;)
What a lovely color pallette for your maxi dresses. I do that a lot too–run errands to return something only to come home with more things that I left with…such is life, i guess.
If anyone needs a picture definition of cute, people should read this blog post and see your pictures here. This dress is beautiful, but it's the statement necklace that (for lack of a better term) makes the biggest statement in addition to this dress. What a dazzling beauty you are, Kileen!

That dress is absolutely gorgeous
I so love every time you wear this maxi – the colors and print are just so pretty! How do you like your MK watch? Especially the weight of it? I'm trying to gauge if all MK watches are similar in weight.
aww thank you!! i'm in love with the necklace too! 🙂
my MK watch is a little smaller than the normal MK watch — 33mm instead of 38mm. It weighs in at 11.2 oz… not sure about how heavy the 38mm ones are.
aww thank you john!
Love all the colors, patterns, and textures from this outfit. If I were to imagine it in my head together, I'd think it may be too much, but you wear it so wonderfully. Great look, Kileen!
I've got to say I'm amazed by the seemingly endless array of colorful (and really bold) jewelry you've got. It never seems to overwhelm you, though, I love it!
thanks!! i've got an obsession with statement necklace lately… 🙂
omgsh you look so cute! favorite outfit of yours in a long time! now i want to go put on a fun dress haha 🙂
totally agree! I'm going to tear a page out of your book and try myself, now that I'm feeling inspired!!
cute! love the printed maxi on you. I tend to wear flats with a lot of my maxis too. luckily I've been able to find a few that I haven't had to hem at all but otherwise I'd be like you and have to take off a huge chunk just so it would fit!
Love the dress! I also like to wear maxi dresses and skirts with flats and chunky jewelry))
