I don’t know about you, but I tend to get a bit obsessed with certain clothing trends or categories from time to time, and right now I can’t get enough of maxi dresses. Long dresses give the wearer such a put together look, but the secret is that they really are one of the most comfortable things you can put on. Plus, when I combine a super long maxi with 5 inch wedges, I can suddenly fool people into thinking I’m 5’9″. That’s a plus.
I bought this giant gold Aztec medallion when combing flea markets a few weeks ago, and besides worrying about the fact that it might make me look a bit like a Bee-Gee, I think it’s one of the coolest things I’ve bought in a while. The original chain was a bit of an awkward length, so I added the medallion to a long gold Madewell chain, and I’m really pleased with the switch.

There may come a point in the middle of summer where the heat doesn’t allow for giant blanket-like clothing, so I’m going to milk the maxis while I can before it gets too hot. I hope you got to enjoy a relaxing long weekend this Memorial Day!
I’m obsessed with maxi dresses right now, too! This yellow one is gorgeous, especially with the wooden wedges and Aztec medallion.
Love how you call it giant blanket like clothing, i totally agree, maxis get a little hot down here in texas once august rolls around!
