~ Keepin’ it bright with this Caren Forbes maxi dress down in Mexico! Caren Forbes is this cute little second floor boutique near my office in New Canaan and I picked up this neon wonder at the end of the summer so was SO excited to pack it for my Mexico trip. I’m pretty short, so don’t always sway towards maxis…I feel like a lot of my tall friends can pull of long skirts and dresses and look so sleek and lovely, but with my height, not always the case! And let’s be honest, it’s not always very cost effective to have a full foot hemmed off of the bottom of a dress. THIS maxi dress though! I loved the colors and the short lining under the long flowy maxi made it feel light and not heavy. This also might be the first maxi dress ever that I didn’t have to get hemmed (boom)! This is one of those pieces that I simply bought for me – not for a date night, or for an event, or even for this girls’ trip to Mexico. I just bought it for me because it made me feel confident and pretty and bright….is there any better justification for a dress purchase than that?

Gratefully with love,
