Something Old, Something New

How to wear a black maxi dress for Summer via Peaches In A Pod blog.  I have always had a black maxi dress in my closet for as long as I can remember.  It’s the perfect dress to have for any summer occasion because you can dress it up or down.  This particular one is a favorite of mine.  It’s been in my closet for a while now, and I decided to give it a fresh new style by knotting it in the front.  I was inspired by all of the knotted tops that have been everywhere this summer.  It’s such a fun detail to add, especially in the summer time.  I love the look so much that I have done it to just about every dress that I own including a similar one to this one.

We had a huge Summer storm come through on Monday night that gave us all a scare.  A ginormous Oak Tree fell across our yard and landed in the driveway.  Luckily, nothing was damaged.  It came within inches from hitting my car, and just barely landed a few feet from our neighbors house.  The only thing that got hurt were a couple of Hydrangea bushes.  I cannot believe how lucky we got.  This monster really could have done some damage had it fallen in any other direction.  I don’t know about you guys, but I am so tired of these daily summer storms wreaking havoc on everything.  Hopefully things will dry out soon, and we can enjoy a dry August.

Have a fabulous day!

    Oh man, so glad nothing was damaged when the tree came down-so scary! Loving the tie to change up the appearance of the dress and also show those sandals off! xo, Biana- BlovedBoston

    I love your dress & leopard sandals! So glad you are okay – and the tree did not cause more damage – that is scary! I think you are now getting all the storms and rain we had in May/June. We haven’t had a real rain in weeks.

    Oh my goodness that storm sounds scary! I always worry about all the oak trees falling during these storms.
    I love your black maxi knotted like that. I tried knotting mine once but the knot wouldn’t stay and I ended up with a wrinkled dress, lol! That was me trying to look all cool, hahahaha! You look amazing however!

    Loving this look, and I’ve been eyeing those sandals for so long it’s time to finally scoop them up! How scary about your oak tree, so glad to hear it didn’t harm your home or your family <3

    Oh man scary storms are the worst. I’m glad the tree didn’t damage too much, but stinks to have to clean it up, and those bushes!! I love this dress and your leopard millers, perfect combination.
