Trend obsession: maxi dresses and maxi skirts

I have a new trend obsession: maxi dresses, maxi skirts - basically anything long and flowy. I own 3 maxi dresses and after looking at these beauties I have decided 3 is not enough. Now I need to decide which one is my favorite!

The mint strapless maxi dress can also be worn as a maxi skirt! The maxi skirts here both look perfect for spring - summer wear.

My favorite here is the navy floral strapless maxi dress - sad story, it's sold out online in my size, and not sold in stores! Love the ombré dress! I can't get enough of the chevron prints on the other two...nothing like a print like this to draw the eye down and make my 5'2" frame look taller.

Which dress or skirt is your favorite? Are there any other maxi style items you have on your wish list?

Shopping expedition

Yesterday, I really had the itch to do some shopping. So, while I hung out in town, waiting to meet my brother to pick up my spoiled rotten dog who prefers car rides over being left home alone, I ventured to Old Navy. Old Navy is one of those stores I can almost always guarantee I will find something to buy at. I keep my eyes peeled for those signs that indicate an item is on sale for a much lower price than it originally was and search the entire store twice. This time, I was on a mission for some colored jeans. I tried on 2 pairs, same style, one pair in white and one in red, and the white fit well...the red, on the other hand, were SNUG to say the least. I felt like a sausage being stuffed into casing. Not pretty. They were having a sale, but I decided to hold off on the jeans purchase and check the selection online, which I did today.

Days 1-5, 30x30

The first week is done, and I already had to cheat on this challenge :/ The comment I made in my previous post in which I said temperatures, even this time of year, in Florida, rarely drop below 70s was a tad presumptuous. Today temperatures started out in the 40s and never reached past 75! It was unexpected but amazing. Also, today was a jeans day at the middle school where I am completing my internship, which was also something I did not expect and originally had not planned to be at the school today, but I ended up going in for a few hours and decided to dress in warmer clothing than I had originally picked in the 30 items. I will probably substitute the sweater I wore for today into the 30 and take out the navy sweater I had included. I think I can get as much use out of it as I had intended for the navy sweater plus it will keep me warmer on any future cold days. The jeans count as a neutral item since I never wear jeans for work or internship unless it's permitted on a Friday and that's only when I'm doing my internship.
