White Crochet Maxi // On Trend Tuesday LinkUp

Hey guys!  How was your weekend?  Now that we’ve adjusted back from our vacation and Dylan is back in school, we’re getting into a new groove around here.  Even though it doesn’t seem like we do anything special in particular on the weekends, they’re always filled to the brim and I somehow end up falling asleep early in bed on Sunday night (before I’m able to finish a blog post unfortunately but I’ll make it up to you with an extra weekend post, I promise!).  

This is my last outfit that I was able to take pictures of while in Hawaii and it’s definitely one of my favorites!  It was taken on our last day spent in Hana on the mountainous east side of Maui.  The volcanic black sand beaches here were stunningly beautiful (I was on a rocky stretch here for these pictures as it was just outside our hotel) and such a contrast from their lighter counterparts.  

I chose to juxtapose the darker beach sands with this feminine all-white dress.  I just love wearing white when the weather’s hot outside as it just has that cool and fresh summer vibe.  This one is absolutely gorgeous with the floral crochet cutouts on the bottom and the simple strapless design keeps it casual enough for every day wear.  Maxi dresses almost always require a hem job (I’m 5′ tall), this one is surprisingly suitable even if you’re on the shorter side!  I’m wearing it without alterations and with flip flops since I was at the beach, and still it was only just barely grazing the ground.  Add a pair of wedges or strappy heels and it’s definitely a non-issue!  There is free expedited shipping with any purchases of $19.90 and more, so at $20.33 this dress just makes the cut so don’t wait!
