Hi, Glitter Girls! Myka here again with another edition of Style Sessions. The maxi dress is not a new trend, but I’ve chosen to update it a bit with a modern shape and lovely print. I mean, honestly—who can say no to a Diane von Furstenberg beauty?! I was lucky enough to purchase this dress at a fraction of the original cost (it definitely pays to wait for an item to go on sale!), and it has been in heavy rotation ever since. For a daytime brunch with the girls, I’d throw on some sandals, pull back my hair in a low ponytail, and pile on the bracelets. Then when it’s time to meet up with my husband for a dinner date night, I’d keep my hair down, switch out my arm party for simple gold cuffs, and add a swipe of one of my favorite lip colors.

Shop the Look:

Brunch: Diane von Furstenberg dress, Forever 21 blazer, Vince Camuto sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs clutch, Karen Walker sunglasses, Nixon watch, Michael Kors rings, Madewell/ Brandy Melville/ Gorjana bracelets, Forever 21 earrings, Revlon “Strawberry Suede” lipstick.

Dinner Date: Forever 21 gold cuffs

    If I could rock this like Myka, I’d be inclined to…and I think I can b/c Myka gives some legit advice and sensible style tips. I love the details, the colors, and the fresh look she portrays. She is stunning as always!

    Love how you take the maxi dress from day to night. Looking gorgeous as ever!

  • Aileen @ 300 Threads

    I have this dress! It’s beautiful, but I find it so impractical – I get trapped in doors and I trip over the hem constantly. Any tips on how to be less klutzy???
