On days when I can’t decide what “outfit” to put together, my maxi dress always come to the rescue! It’s cute, chic, comfy, not to mention easy and efficient! Throw it on and you instantly look darling (plus if you don’t feel like shaving, who would know? :)
Stacey Bendt Eisner, designer and founder of Alice + Olivia is no stranger to girlie, flowy pleats! There’s something about the flowy-elegance meet relaxed-sophistication of this green pleated maxi dress that makes me feel like a princess every time I put it on. Definitely a favorite of mine in 2011 and will for sure be a repeat this summer….

Ooops. didn’t mean to leave so many comments, mistake. I thought my comments were not being posted. haha

OMG, I wanted this dress but was too late and couldn’t find it anywhere!! :( I am so bummed esp now seeing it on you, makes me jelly :) You look fabulous though. Keep up the amazing outfit post, you’re definitely one my favorite bloggers and daily reads!
Did you get your dress trimmed? I always have a hard time finding maxi unless I get them trimmed and wonder how hard it is to get a pleated dress cut. You look gorgeous btw!
Nope, the amazing this about this dress is it’s for shorter folks (lol), which is a first. It was a perfect fit!
Even though I am short, I love maxi dresses. Some people say when you’re short you shouldn’t wear them but I disagree. I think you said you were 5 feet a while back, but you definitely don’t look like you’re short and this dress looks great on you! P.S. Thanks for posting that link to the similar-ish dress, that’s an amazing deal!
I agree, shorties can definitely wear maxi, all you need is a pair of heels or a sharp pair of scissors!
Gorgeous as ever! Do you ever have a bad day? haha
