Welcome to the new Blended Blog Style! During our meet up in Toronto, we decided to stick with one theme for Fashion Wednesday's going forward. We hope you'll join us and link up your fashion posts below, and check back each week to see if you are featured!
Basically, all of this means that I now have to decide how to dress myself, without prompts from my fashionable friends. Bummer! To get ready for this task, I did a monumental clean out of my closet last weekend. I was in the mood to get rid of stuff, and I'm done with keeping things just to keep them, so I blocked out the entire day and got to work.
In the end I had a huge pile for the thrift store, and another one for Thred Up. I should have taken a picture, but then I'd see things I got rid of and have regrets. Out of sight, out of mind is probably best.
So now I have a clean, organized closet. My plan is to wear what I have for awhile, or at least until the Anniversary sale gets here. But then no more shopping after that. Probably. Anyway...
Last year was "the summer of the dress" for me, and I loved it, so June is now "the month of the dress". Dresses are so cool and comfy during warm months.
I'm starting with this Octavia mid length dress that I rediscovered during the closet clean out. Truthfully, it's probably a maxi, but because I'm a thousand feet tall, it hits me right at the ankle. It's flowy and fun, but a little bit big, so it may not make the cut.
I wore it with a pair of tassel earrings that my sister passed on. I haven't decided if I like this trend on me. These are a bit heavy, but I'm a fan of the mixed metals. We'll see.
Linking up with The Pleated Poppy, Thursday Fashion Files, Fashion Friday, Fabulous Friday, Pumps and Pushups, How I Style It, Not Dead Yet Style, My Refined Style, Thursday Moda, I do Declaire, Ageless Style, Wednesday's Wardrobe , Get Your Pretty On, Shelbee On The Edge
Time to link up! I hope you'll join us again this week, and follow along with #theblendedblogstyle.
You look stunning, I love that dress and those adorable earrings are perfect with it!!! One Gorgeous Mama right there!
ReplyDeleteThanks sweet friend!
DeleteGorgeous dress. I'm so envious of those that can wear a maxi and find them easily. I'm 5ft. It's a challenge
ReplyDeleteSounds like we have the opposite problem, Anna!
DeleteLove that dress and those earrings, but as a side note, your teeth look really great!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm ready to be DONE.
DeleteGreat dress!!!

Thanks Jaymie!
DeleteI was going to ask if it was a maxi dress! On me, it would be.
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it's gorgeous on you! I have trouble with mid length dresses, because I think I look frumpy in them.
Honestly, I think this one makes me look a little frumpy. Maybe because it's a little big? I'm not sure I love it.
DeleteI personally am a fan of the dress! I like the color and I think dresses like this are so great for travelling and being comfortable at the same time. And they always look a little fancy.

Thank you Kristin. It's definitely comfy!
DeleteI just got a thing from Thred Up to go through my closet too. I like the dress on you! And the earrings, but I don't know if I could do them if they were too heavy.
ReplyDeleteYah, they're pretty heavy. We'll see if Thred Up actually pays me anything!
DeleteCan I just say that I have the opposite problem? Today I am wearing a dress that hits me at the ankle but that I think is a midi. Oh well. The ankle dress looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteYep, we definitely have opposite problems :)!
DeleteLoving this dress on you Lana, you look beautiful, Those earrings are so chic.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary!
DeleteThat dress is so pretty and fits you perfectly! I love those tassel earrings. I wore a couple of dresses last week, which is a little unusual for me!

The print is really fun - haven't decided yet on the earrings!
DeleteI love that dress on you - and the tassel earrings! I was thinking the same thing about tassel earrings - look cute - but not comfortable to wear.

DeleteI love this maxi dress on you! I have the total opposite problem, I can't wear maxi dresses because they're so long!

They should make them in lengths like jeans!
DeleteLove that dress and those earrings on you! I've been wanting a pair of tassel earrings!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura!
DeleteLooks like an awesome Canada meet-up. That maxi dress is beautiful and I am glad you kept it after a huge purge (which I am currently doing every day it seems like). June is the month for dresses, I agree. =)

DeleteLove this dress on you! Navy and pink are two of my faves together!! Beautiful and so summery you are Lana!! xo
ReplyDeleteThose are great colors together. Thanks friend!
DeleteAh, the joys of being talll and trying to wear maxi dresses. I also said I wasn't going to do any shopping until the anniversary sale and then went shopping today. Whoops.
ReplyDeleteI'm still holding out but it's hard when I see so many cute things online!
DeleteI already stopped by and linked up and commented but I wanted to come back and say thank you for joining Ladies Who Link Up and I hope to see you next Friday!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl!
DeleteThanks for linking up to Top of the World Style. Great maxi dress. Perfect for the weekend and vacation.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Nicole!
DeleteThis is a pretty blue dress! I like the thought of the summer of the dress. Of course, I wear dresses All The Time, so that is no big surprise. I love those tassel earrings and hope you decide to keep them. I seriously need to go on a shopping ban because I do Not need anything else. Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennie! It's hard being on a ban and reading blogs - I keep seeing so many cute things!
DeleteFabulous dress! I really need to do a wardrobe purge but I'm a terrible hoarder! I need to be in the right frame of mind for it.
