Happy Friday!!  Ya’ll it has been so rainy here in Houston this past month.  It’s really been getting in the away of my outfit shoots.  I like to shoot in the evenings or on weekends.  I feel like everyday at 5 the skies turn dark gray and the rain starts.  We’ve also had lots of rainy weekends, I have been trying to sneak in an outfit or two when I can.  I’m hoping this weekend for some clear skies because I have so much cute stuff for summer to share with ya’ll!

Anyways, on to this blue maxi dress.  This dress is a great example of how a belt can totally transform a look.  Without the belt this blue dress has zero shape and all the boho vibes.  I wore it without the belt to a slumber party my friends and I had last month.  The shapeless look made it so comfy and perfect for lounging with friends.  Adding a belt not only creates shape and definition to this dress, but takes it from casual boho lounging to office ready.  Since it is a loose fit, I recommend sizing down.  Also for my petite gals, belting it makes it a tad shorter which is great because this dress is a little long on my height.  I have to wear some kind of heel to keep it from dragging the floor in the back.
