Cream Maxi Dress

When a new student enters your little corner of the English department, she is greeted with the same elegance and grace in this muted maxi dress that you might hope to find in her stanzas! Standing to welcome her, the sheer length of this off-white, embroidered mesh dress falls to the floor behind your desk, and you offer a hand with a wrist decked with wooden beads as you reach for a handshake. Stepping out of your area to show her around, the half-lining of this V-neck is now visible, and before you begin, you remember to grab the floral shawl on the back of your chair, placing it over the adjustable straps on your shoulders to fight off the air-conditioned chill. The white, crocheted center panel of this dress seems to lead the way, your sienna-hued sandals poke out ...

Your urban apothecary shop is taking off, but you still relish days spent out of town, walking the prairies, searching for herbs, and picking wildflowers. This super-soft ivory maxi dress is ideal for your time away, with its empire waist, straps, and trim boasting an earthy-rich sienna hue. Piped in multicolored squares, which run along its length, this lined, long dress also has a slightly ruffled hem to enhance your naturally romantic look. For a grassland stroll, pair your dress with brown, leather, strappy sandals and a sunhat, but wear it, too, in your shop with stack-heeled booties and a substantial turquoise necklace for a well-mixed style concoction.

The romance of poetry inspired you to wear this cream-colored, 100% silk gown, and, now, the vision of you wrapped in the organza overlay, ruched details, and ruffled sleeves of this dress has your companions bursting into verse! As your best friend regales you with a giggle-filled, impromptu poem, your smiling eyes sparkle like the golden accents dancing across your V-necked bodice. You cant help but blush at the unexpected attention, but, you must admit, you feel like a work of art in your sky-blue kitten heels, posy-pink floral hair clip, and gorgeous maxi dress!
