Happy Monday! One of favorite things to wear in the summertime are dresses. More specifically, maxi dresses. They are so cool and so comfortable; they are the perfect way to beat the summer heat. It was so hot here in DC yesterday, this Uniqlo dress was the perfect way to stay cool. 


I have to tell you, I was skeptical when I first received this maxi dress. On the hanger, it looked tight and narrow, something that is not ideal when looking for a summer maxi. But, much to my surprise, I could not believe how comfortable and light this dress was! Not only was the fabric soft and breathable, the length was perfect to wear with either flats or wedges. I just despise when I have to get a maxi dress hemmed to be able to wear it with flats! And as if this dress wasn’t already perfectly cool for the summer weather, it also has a built in bra that allows for all-day comfort! 


I am super excited that Uniqlo is headed to our mall next year! This dress will be a staple in my summer wardrobe; it truly has all the qualities of the perfect maxi dress! 


Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great start to the week!
