Hi everyone and happy weekend! Some of you may be thinking that you love this caftan maxi dress, but you aren’t sure where you would wear it to. My answer for that is to treat it as one of your regular printed maxi dresses. Yes, this one is definitely more unique, but when it comes to getting a good use out of it, you have to remember to treat it as if it were a normal maxi dress. However, I do suggest wearing it to the something special when it comes to breaking it out for the first time. For example: dinner during a tropical vacation, couples shower, engagement party, fancy summer soirée or any fun summer cocktail event.

About the earrings: I absolutely love my Hula Hoop Tear Drop earrings from Emma’s Shoes & Accessories! I can wear them with almost anything and I love how they’re so dainty while they still make a statement. Also, in case you didn’t know, you can now shop items from Emma’s Shoes & Accessories online! However, if you live in the southern Louisiana area, you can always visit their Mandeville or New Orleans locations especially if you want to try on these awesome hula hoop earrings to choose the best size for you! Plus they have a ton of other stunning jewels, shoes and handbags that I know you’d love!

Wedding Guest Dress Guide

Is it just me, or do you feel like you attend a wedding, couples shower, engagement party or bridal luncheon every weekend starting in early March and all the way until the end summer? I’m pretty sure I just saw quite a few hands raise through my computer screen. That’s exactly what I suspected, which is why I have put together a Wedding Guest Dress Guide for you! You can also shop more wedding guest dresses, shoes and accessories here-> Shop Wedding Guest Dresses

First of all, I am obsessed with all of Yumi Kim’s beautiful prints, and I highly suggest you check out the rest of her collection here–> Yumi Kim Dresses | She has so many stunning options to choose from, but I especially love the Date Night Dress for my petite frame. I’m only 5 ft in case you didn’t already know! Also, I like a lot of color so I paired this dress with bright pink heels and a colorful clutch to really pull out the pink in the print. However, if that’s too much color for you, it looks great with both black and nude ankle strap heels. The black will definitely add a little more edge to the look if that’s what you want to go for and the nude will tone it down.

Just like how you can always count on a little black dress, you can also always depend on a black jumpsuit to keep you looking sophisticated and effortlessly chic. Plus, there are so many different ways to style a black jumpsuit that you can get away with wearing it multiple times in front of the same people.

You can never go wrong with a printed maxi dress!  They’re so easy to dress up and down with the right accessories. You can wear lots of bangles and beaded bracelets with sandals for a casual beach wedding or you can pair your maxi with heels and a fancy clutch for a more formal wedding.

Good Morning readers, I recently teamed up with Yael Palma of Madly-Yours for a style collaboration on Haute Off The Rack.  Yael is the designer, stylist and blogger behind the Madly-yours brand in New Orleans, Louisiana.  She designed and created these fabulous metallic clutches that we’re holding in these photos.   Immediately upon viewing her collection I fell head over heels in love with her handmade clutches. I especially love the Gunmetal & Citron Chevron clutch (pictured in the last 2 photos).  Lucky for you it can all be yours!  Yael and I are planning a Madly-Yours giveaway for Haute Off The Rack readers so you will have a chance to win one for yourself! Stay tuned for details!
