I may have a slight problem during the summer months. Actually, let me rephrase that. I am admitting that my problem has turned into a full blown addiction. Addiction to maxi dresses. If you don't believe me, blog posts don't lie in the case of this, that, here and there.
I
really do try to mix up my style, but for some reason I keep coming
back to my vice of long dresses. To me maxi dresses have been my summer
"go to" for the last year or so. I try to steer clear of them when I am
out shopping because I already own too many, but my addiction keeps
pulling me toward them each and every time.
Places like Very Jane just feed my fire. They asked me to choose something from their site to style and I chose this dress. Yes, out of all the adorable things that Very Jane offers, I picked a maxi dress and didn't think twice about it. I rationalize my behavior with the notion of, "if it isn't broke, why fix it?" These dresses come through for me time and again and I feel like our relationship is pretty tight and solid.
Back on the subject of Very Jane, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but if you haven't heard of this boutique, daily deal website, you have been living under a rock of sorts.
Think Groupon + Etsy. They sell everything from clothing and purses to hair
accessories, jewelry, and home décor. They feature new handmade and
boutique items every day. Each day they offer between 15-20 deals for up
to 75% off! They welcome small business owners the opportunity
for greater exposure while providing quality products to customers at a
significant discount.
If Very Jane isn't news to you, you know how addicting this site can be. Yes, today is all about feeding addictions...addictions to style, fashion and shopping. I mean, our bad habits could be so much worse, right?
What style or look do you keep coming back to over and over again? Maybe we could start some sort of online group and support one another.

So chic! Love the print on that dress!
I am addicted to wearing Maxi dresses in the summer too! I've not heard of Very Jane before - thank you for sharing! I have been using Groopdealz which is very similar and have stuck to buying mostly jewelry.

Very nice outfit! The print of that dress is so great, if never seen such a dress befor. Greetings, Silvi♥
I love the look of maxi's but find them too hot in the summer. I do sport them often in the spring months when it's a little cooler though!
this look is great, love the layered utility vest!

Great outfit Shanna! I don't own a maxi dress yet! Can you believe that?! I need to jump on the band wagon. I love the tribal print on yours. Thanks for the style inspiration! I am addicted to Very Jane too!! Susan
I clearly need more maxi dresses in my closet and this outfit is proof! Love the way you styled the vest over it here :)

I have crawled out from under the rock! Just signed up for daily feeds from Very Jane. Just last night I was thinking the same thing "I am totally addicted to maxi dresses" so great in the hot weather! Love your look!
Love very Jane! Do they have an app? I need to search that now! Love this maxi, you look awesome!!
There's nothing wrong with wearing a comfy, easy breezy maxi! Plus, you have so many different ones. Don't worry about it!

Maxi dresses look great on all women I think, they are so versatile! I love the pattern on this one (you can pull off patterns, lucky girl!)
I love this dress and I love it more with the vest. You look so cute! I love maxi dresses too, but most of the time they're too long on me, so I go for the good old regular summer dresses. Lots of them. Between you and I, we have enough dresses to wear a different one every day of the year! :)

This outfit is gorgeous! Separately, together, this all works and I love it!

You nailed it with this outfit. I can't wait to recreate it with what's in my closet!
ohhhh loving that maxi dress! xo

Believe it or not, I do not own a maxi dress and only have one maxi skirt! I know...crazy!! Not sure if I have an addiction, but I have been buying a lot of skirts and dresses for summer. :)
I love how you styled the dress with the vest over it! I'm a big fan of maxis but I always have to get them shortened and sometimes I'm impatient :)

I own ONE maxi! But knee length dresses? Those are my jam. I own 25+ of those!
Cute outfit, I'm going through a maxi phase too, although it's hard to find ones that will fit me in the length and let's face it, I'm not actually going to take it to the tailor to get hemmed. I have found a few that work pretty well, and I want to wear them all the time. Love that Very Jane site, just what I need, another site to spend my money on! Thanks :)
I love maxi dresses but on my petite frame, it isn't always easy to find ones that fit well....but you always look fab in them and the print here is so pretty!

I saw that dress on Very Jane and absolutely loved it! It looks so great on you! I'm totally addicted to them as well & GroopDealz.. have you ever been on their site?

I love very jane! and maxis! They are just so easy to dress up or down and they are so comfortable- you can't go wrong!
I too own an embarrassingly large number of maxi dresses. And I keep buying them. I totally get the addiction!!!
So cute! Love the black and white! Are you going to be going to the Texas Style Council conference?

I still haven't gotten a maxi and I better do it before summer is over and I can't find them anymore. Sometimes the patterns are so crazy!! I'm going to try target. Love the layering with the vest. I have a hard time with vests because I'm always, always cold and I'd need to put a sweater over it at some point and then it wouldn't look as cute.
Ahh I've been absolutely loving maxi dresses this summer too! I feel like they are good for spring and fall - so really it's a good investment :P Now your maxi - it is stunning!! xo
That dress is to die for! I love it paired with the vest too! Thanks for a great outfit idea!!
I would love for you to stop by and join our link up!

yup... Very Jane= addicting!! I love their products and this dress looks fantastic on you!
Loving the dress with the vest. And that belt is too cute!!!
I've ordered from VeryJane once. The item didn't come. The item was being shipped from a 3rd party and VeryJane gave me a refund. But it took forever! :(
Oooh I LOVE the print of this dress Shana! Awesome!
Love that safarian vibe ensemble Shanna. I am loving my vest and adding it to nearly everything in my wardrobe right now :-)

Okay......so I don't own any maxi dresses! I KNOW! THE SHAME!!!! I did try several on today and am featuring them on Friday.
You look great in them, so it's a natural for you to wear them all the time!!!

I'm suffering from a maxi addiction as well! I swear they're the best this year and only keep getting better!
Maxi dresses don't look quite right on me. I'm 5'8 so not crazy tall, but something about my height makes the dresses look just a bit short on me. So I have yet to find one that I really just love, but it's okay 'cause I really love the shorter styles too. :) This dress looks great on you!
I love the print of this dress! And I am totally a maxi skirt/dress addict as well. I've been consciously limiting myself to one a week. haha! It's just so easy, and girly, but without having to shave your legs :)
