..Maxi-mum Coziness

The deets:  J.Crew chambray shirt; Banana Republic maxi (very old); Rachel Zoe heels; Urban Outfitter sunnies; Earrings c/o JEWELIQ; Piperlime clutch.

It was rainy all weekend here in DC and I had a housewarming get together to attend for one of my besties. I was caught in the middle of wanting that cozy-up-on-the-couch-while-it-rains feeling and wanting to look nice for the party so I decided on this comfy cotton maxi.  I really thought it needed a jacket of some sort because of the icky weather but jean jackets feel a little dated on me so I opted for just tying this chambray shirt up around my waist to keep it more casual.  Since I am 5'2 I of course had to break out my highest heels to ensure my dress wouldn't drag in the rain. I actually loved how it all felt together.  I didn't, however, really think about the logistics of a floor length dress and 6 inch heels and I now have the skinned knee I earned on the dirty CVS carpet to prove it. Yup, I did a sliding-into-homebase-wipeout in a packed convenient store. Good thing I was able to run out of there and never see those people again since I had already made my purchase right? Only I forgot my umbrella at the checkout. It was fun having to walk back into the store where people were still visibly laughing to retrieve it. Good times.
