For the last week or so, the temperatures in Las Vegas have been around 115 degrees every day.  Dry heat or not, 115 is hot!  Too hot!  It makes it hard to get dressed sometime.  Since this is my third desert summer, I’ve learned that the best way to dress in the heat is to wear a simple sundress.  They are so comfortable and easy to accessorize in the heat.

Today, I wanted to share one of my favorite sundresses in my closet.  I’ve had this dress in my closet for years, but when it comes to simple dresses like this, I like to hold on to them.  You never know when it will come in handy.  I really love the colorful print on this dress.  I haven’t been able to find anything like it in recent years.  I often accessorize the dress with brown.  For this look, I wore my brown slingback wedges, brown leather purse and I layered with my denim jacket.  You always have to keep something on hand to layer with, because it might be 110 outside, but inside it can be 70 degrees.

Hi everyone!  Today for My Closet post, I want to take a moment and talk about maxi dresses.  I love maxi dresses, especially in the summer.  I have about 5 maxi dresses in my closet that I wear throughout the year.  I love how effortless they are.  You can just throw on a cute maxi with a couple accessories and you’re ready to go for any occasion.

One of my favorite maxi dresses in my closet is this pink/purple print maxi from Target. (original shopping post here)  When looking for a summer maxi dress, I think it’s important to find something that is versatile and can be worn in many different ways.  Even though this dress is colorful with a print, it’s still a dress that I can re-wear often.  I like to wear it with cardigans, denim or just on its own.   I often have a difficult time finding maxi dresses that aren’t too long, because I’m only 5’1, but this dress is the perfect length for me. I’m able to wear it with flats or heels.  I even wore this dress while I was pregnant during my second trimester.

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite ways to style my maxi dress this summer.  I wore it here with my denim jacket, sandals, and turquoise accessories.  As you’ve probably seen with my recent outfits, I’m kind of obsessed with turquoise accessories.  I’m especially loving the color combination of turquoise with the pink.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any dresses out right now that are similar to this one with the pink and purple print.  However, I did link some really cute printed maxi dresses below that I am absolutely loving.  I think these would all make for a great summer maxi dress.  Everything is under $40, and most of these dresses are under $20!
