summer maxi

Last fall I bought a maxi dress on a whim at the Gap. It was on sale, I love gray and white stripes, I couldn't resist. Last week I wore it for the first time and was a bit unsure. Maxi dresses can do weird things to the body, and horizontal stripes over my hips? eek. I took some quick snapshots at school. Yay or nay? How would you style this look?

Wooden wedges from The Gap!

Needing interview clothes is such a great reason to go shopping. In May I'm going to be taking a quick trip to Dallas (which is already a delicious 80 degrees!) for two days of interview activities. I realized this weekend that I only have one pair of heels that I can stand to wear for more than an hour, and they don't go with much, so I'd better get to work breaking in a new pair. I've had my eye on these wooden platform wedges, and luckily, I found some coupon codes + free shipping that made these 100% leather, wooden soled shoes a steal. Today, I welcomed these babies to their new home in my closet. Can't wait for that warm, non-rainy weather so I can strap these on!
