One must-have that every woman should own is the maxi dress. Dress it up, dress it down, it’s one of most versatile options around! It’s always flattering (yes, even on petite ladies too), and it’s an easy way to look put together in a flash!

I was really excited when Maurices reached out to me and sent me this fabulous maxi dress and gold tote bag; I knew both pieces were perfect for the end of summer and can be easily transitioned into fall outfits once the temperature drops.

I paired my maxi with the tote they sent, a vintage necklace, Ray Ban mirrored sunglasses and gold-studded Steve Madden sandals.

I wore this ensemble to brunch (where it was a big hit), but it would also be perfect for semi-casual days at the office, running errands, or even a fancy dinner date or night out with the girls.
