Rocked it & Swapped it: Neutral Maxi Dress

What is not to love about a mock neck maxi dress? It's the perfect, "it's close enough to Spring that I can pull off a dress" style because it's so transitional. Long enough for colder days with a jacket but light and sleeveless for Summer days and sandals. We're big fans of the pocket detail and the slit in the back (adding a little va va voom to a basic staple piece). We both chose to keep the color palette in all neutral tones...me in navy and brown and Lisa in 50 shades of gray but how cute would the dress be with colorful pom pom accessories? True Spring style can't come soon enough!

Brunch Style

One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is go out for Sunday brunch. Yes, it's nice not cook one meal of the weekend, but there is just something about eating a bit later in the morning and having a mimosa (or two!). Side note, I have found that the older I get, the more I like day drinking. Truth, I would rather drink on a Sunday morning then on a Friday night. Judge away, but there is no hang over and I'm with the people I love the most in this world, my family! Then we go home and the rest of the day is spent relaxing. Why isn't brunch a mandatory monthly activity? It should be...just saying.

I tend to want to look put together, but never wear tight clothing as I do like to eat! I mean, brunch is usually my only meal prior to dinner so I stock up! The perfect solution was layering this sweater over a maxi dress. Flowy, loose, and cute...works for me! I added a few accessories, beach waves to my hair, and I was good to go. Sometimes less really is more.

Rocked it & Swapped it

We love a dress that you can wear multiple time throughout the year and make it look different each time and this Shop Frankie's piece is a perfect example. 

By adding a leather jacket, high heel and teased pony, Lisa turned a simple summer dress into the ultimate look for a summer rock show. She also wore it for a casual date night on the beach in Mexico and to a whiskey tasting this winter -- by adding a printed scarf, she gave the dress a totally different look, making it like a whole new outfit. 

When I found the dress in my #swap bag, I didn't waste any time and put it on that day. By adding a gold belt and jean jacket, I was ready for lunch by the lake or a visit to the beach…you never know where the day will take you ;) 

Which one is your favorite look?
