My post introducing the Love Pretty X LOFT Collaboration was a popular one and I’m excited to bring you part two featuring this gorgeous LOFT maxi dress.
It was seriously love at first sight when I saw this dress and luckily Zeba also fell in love! Often summer dresses are short and revealing but I choose to live in maxi dresses all summer long. They are so perfect to just throw on and look presentable for any occasion! I decided to take this maxi dress and style it for a more elegant event.
I thought this outfit would be perfect for an outdoor summer garden wedding. This LOFT maxi dress is very cool so you’ll be comfortable on a hot summer day but at the same time very elegant so it’s wedding appropriate. I paired it with a gold belt and gold accessories, including long gold earrings. The bright pink clutch adds some evening glamour.
While I didn’t tie the dress properly at the back, let’s just ignore that and look at the back key hole that you may want to show off with a pretty and casual up do!
Here is a close up of the front showing the key hole here too. I’m not sure how it would look on bustier women so if you are fuller up top be sure to try it on and make sure you’re comfortable with the amount of skin that gets exposed.
How would you style this dress?
Be sure to check out how Zeba styled this same dress for a casual shopping day out as the last part of our Summer #LovePrettyXLOFT collaboration.
I’m also very excited to share with you that I have an AMAZING giveaway for you!
