After falling in love with my first Miss Candyfloss maxi dress, I couldn’t resist when they released one in my favorite style, with buttons all the way down the front. The Shayna-Mai was a surprise addition to the “Legendary Liz” collection and has a beautiful floral print in bright shades of pink.

I accessorized with a boater hat from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, an Erstwilder brooch, necklaces from RockLove Jewelry, and a stack of Splendette Duchess Bangles:

This lightweight dress has the same lovely, breezy feeling as the Ashley-Naia.

I feel garden party ready!

After avoiding maxi dresses for so many years, I now realize that they’re a great, cool style for summer, and don’t look anything like I thought they would on me, in the best way possible!
