90 - Five Take... Maxi Dresses... and Florals!


I've been away so long, I'm sorry! (If anyone even really noticed!). The past month has been crazy finishing up my second semester at school. I had crazy papers, then exams. I was also super sick the past two weeks during exam period... it really sucked, but I'm finally feeling better after resting for a week. Unfortunately, I just started two spring courses today, but hopefully they won't be a crazy amount of work!

Anyway, so I'm posting an outfit that incorporates both of the last two Five Take challenges. It's a bit of a cheat but I hope you forgive me :)




Dress - Asos; Cardigan - borrowed from my sister; Shoes - Payless

I spent the Easter weekend visiting my family, so this is what I wore to eat the most delicious roast dinner. It was amazing! Then, of course, I ate lots of chocolate. So I clearly needed something that wasn't restrictive, which is where this dress came in handy.

It was an amazing buy for me. I snagged it in the Asos clearance section late last year, the last one! It had sold out, but someone must have returned this one late in the season. It's quite large at a 26, but I can see that being nice during our muggy summer days. It also has ties at the waist to tighten it, so it's not too boxy. I can see lounging around in this dress a lot!

So yes, school is done (except the two summer classes) so hopefully I'll be able to update more frequently. I have another outfit to post tomorrow as well. I hope I can keep this up, I missed the blog community!

Maxi's aren't just comfortable, they look great too. I prefer wearing the skirt version though. Being busy with other stuff is a part of life. Readers who enjoy your blog won't go anywhere. Wishing you a great summer break from school.
