Happy (almost) Friday! I really wish today was Friday. With this nagging pain in my mouth, this week back to work has been challenging. Something about being uncomfortable makes it hard to concentrate on anything but the discomfort that then makes the day go that much slower. Sigh. I just keep thinking that in a few short weeks we’ll be off on vacation, which I’m getting super excited for.
What I’m Wearing
Dress: Old Navy (similar)
Jacket: Kohl’s
Shoes: Mossimo Dianne Cap Toe Espadrille Flat
Bracelet: KEEP Collective, c/o Amanda
Ring: Forever 21 (similar)
Hat: Forever 21
Sunglasses: LC Lauren Conrad
This outfit today is a total repeat from something very similar that I wore a couple of weeks back. It was so comfortable that I figured it was worth the repeat. I found this maxi dress at Old Navy on clearance a couple of summers ago and wish I had it other colors. It’s incredibly soft and comfortable and goes with so many outfits. To me, maxi dresses feel like socially acceptable sweatpants, and you don’t even have to shave your legs. ;)
I’m accessorizing with this new KEEP Collective bracelet that was kindly sent to me by Amanda, who is one of their designers. “Keepers” (or bracelets) have “keys” (or charms) that you can customize to fit your personal style. I always liked the traditional charm bracelets growing up, but my wrists have always been so small that they never fit. Plus, who wants something dangling and jangling off their wrist all the time? That’s just not for me. But when I saw these, I thought this was the perfect solution! You can slide the keys on and off easily, and this particular leather band is reversible to either black or brown.
As for my KEEP Collective review, overall I’m pleased with the quality and the “keys” are super cute. I chose the Eiffel Tower to commemorate our trip to Paris this year, the Geo Bar in turquoise because it’s super pretty, and the leaf because it’s reminiscent of a feather, which I love.
And because Amanda is super sweet, she decided to help one of you get started with a KEEP Collective collection of your own! Enter below to win a silicone band! This giveaway is open to US residents due to shipping restrictions. Thanks for your understanding!
What do you think about KEEP bracelets? Would you rock one?
I love that dress on you!
Thanks Christine!
I like how you styled the dress, especially with the hat!
Thanks so much, Lisa! :)
I love your outfit. :) And I love the Keep Collective gold band. :)https://www.keep-collective.com/products/keepers/bracelets/107-mesh-bracelet#!251
Aw, thanks Ashley, and good luck! :)
Love that bracelet, such a cool way to reimagine a charm bracelet! Love the dress, I totally agree, maxi dresses are SO comfy! :)
Glad you agree, Julia! Nothing like a comfy maxi! ;)
girl i feel your pain. like really, i remember that pain. it’s no fun. you can’t see when it will ever stop hurting! lol. hope it goes away soon for you! until then, milkshakes (with a spoon) are the best! and gorgeous dress on you :)
Oh man, I ate so much ice cream, smoothies, and frappucinos. It really did make my mouth feel better! ;)
LOVE the bracelet! I’ve never heard of that line before but I’m totally loving it!
So glad to hear that, Samantha! It’s a pretty awesome idea!
Probably something to do with travel!
Great idea, Tabitha! Thanks for entering!
Love this whole outfit! Such a perfect summer look! I really to find a good floppy hat. I really like the arrow keys. I like anything with arrows. LOL
Arrows are a great choice! Thanks for entering, Julie!
Really cute look! I especially love the sunnies. The bracelet is nice too :)
Xx
Thanks Kaitlin!
I love the braided detail on the dress! There are too many! At a quick glance, I’d choose the pineapple, an anchor and/or sailboat, and I also love the arrow. :)
Love your picks, and thanks for entering, Mattie!
Cute bracelet and you can never go wrong with a maxi!

Thanks Jenny, totally agree!
The geo bar makes the bracelet for me.
Agreed, it really does! Thanks Melanie!
This is such a great look for a summer evening! That bracelet is so unique and looks very nice with your maxi (:
Thanks Jordyn!
Love this outfit and the bracelet! Browsing the site right now because it definitely looks like something I’d wear.
Thanks Alexis! So glad to hear you like the bracelet! :)
I love the one that you chose! Turquoise is definitely my favorite colors.

Thanks Sarah! Nothing like a location near the water :)
You will be totally not surprised to know I’d get the dachshund key, and probably either a tree or leaf, a camera, a cupcake, a shark tooth, a turquoise bar, and a ladybug.
I have tiny wrists too so I am just so in love with these. They are definitely on my “to buy” list.
I’m jealous they have your breed! ;) They definitely are perfect for tiny wrists, it’s always nice to have more options! Good luck, Stephanie!
That is just how I feel about maxi dresses – I can put them on, feel girly but totally not care about what my thigh/stomach look like!
I know right? Just love that about maxis!
This is so cute! I love how you styled yours :) I’m a big fan of the cancer ribbon key, aviators, lady bug, Mother of Pearl, shark tooth, and pineapple!
Thanks for sharing about such a cool product with us!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the bracelet, and good luck!
i’ve never been brave enough to wear a maxi dress but this one looks lovely :)
Thanks Jessica!
I love how you styled the bracelet and your outfit in general. Comfy dresses are wonderful, especially in the hot summer.
Thanks Ade! Comfy dresses are the best!
Seriously loving that maxi! And that bracelet is so cute!
Thanks Tiffany!
What a casual, yet chic and cool look! You look gorgeous!

Such a cute outfit! I love the braid detailing on the dress!
Thanks so much, Elana!
I seriously stuggle with maxi’s because I am SO short, but yours is so cute! I am loving the hunter green color right now!
The silicone bracelets are too cute, I hope I win!
Thanks Tiffani! I’m short too, so I feel ya. Thanks for entering, and good luck! :)
I love how you called maxi dresses socially acceptable sweatpants-so true! I really wish I could wear them, but I’m so short that they look ridiculous on me. Haha. :)
Haha, glad you agreed with that sentiment, Olya! I’m short too… just have to find one with the right hem length! ;)
Oh how I love a good maxi dress! My favorite is from Old Navy as well, so I bought it in two patterns! It’s dressy enough for brunch or a dinner out, but super comfortable and I totally agree on the perk of being able to skip a day of leg shaving ;)
Haha, that may be my favorite perk of maxi dresses. Glad you found one you love from Old Navy too!
Such a cool, updated take on charm bracelets! I agree that charm bracelets end up being a pain on my skinny wrists, not to mention I hate the dangley stuff. This looks super interesting! Great post! :-)
Thanks Yazzi! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Hi Jen! You are absolutely adorable. I love your hat. I’ve been looking for one in similar style. Definitely picking one up.
Thank you so much, Kim! Hope you love your hat, they’re so nice to have!
Hi Jenn, this is such a cute look. I especially love your maxi dress. I love how you pair it with a denim jack and wide brim hat. You look gorgeous!
Aw, thanks so much Doreen! :)
I love the idea behind the KEEP “charm” bracelets. Also their watches are gorgeous!
So glad you like them, Tyler! :)
Love this outfit! Have been looking for espadrilles like yours, I definitely have to check them out! Thank You for sharing, love!

They’re pretty great, I’ve worn mine a ton! Hopefully they’re still available in your size :)
The bracelet is adorable. I had never seen those before. I think it’s a great idea and a different option than the usual charm bracelets. I love your outfit too! Thanks for hosting the giveaway too!
Thanks so much Lisa, glad you’re a fan of the bracelet! Good luck! :)
I really love that dress! And I love the giveaway I have never heard of this brand!
Thanks Ashley! Glad to introduce you to the brand, and good luck! :)
Your outfit is adorable! I love Old Navy! Thank you for the giveaway!
Thanks Logan! :)
What a nice simple outfit, and you look great!
Thanks so much, Miss Angie!
I would choose the “live happy” key!
Thanks for entering, Colleen!
I just bought my first maxi this year and I LOVE IT. It looks so cute with the jean jacket!
Thanks Annie! Maxi dresses are the best :)
Love your outfit!!
Thanks Kara!
Super fun giveaway!
Thanks Charlene!
You definitely look like you’re ready for vacation – so cute! Love the bracelet!
Thanks so much, Patricia!
I love that whole look! You’re blessed to be able to have the Old Navy dress fit you perfectly! I’ve been meaning to throw some encouragement your way in the wisdom teeth thing. I know it sucks, but it is SO much better than waiting till you are older I promise. Better for your teeth, but even better for your body and inflammation levels. So good job! :-). Heal quick!
Ha! I bet you have the opposite struggle I do… they’re all too short! ;)
Oh man, I kind of got the side eye from the doctor for waiting as long as I did for having them removed, but luckily there wasn’t any infection or anything causing too much danger. Definitely better to get them out before they caused infection or cavities though… yuck! Luckily the pain is gone for the most part, now I’m just left cleaning out the sockets. So gross!
I love your hat with the outfit! I know I was hesitant about maxis at the beginning of the season (skirts and dresses), but now that’s all I wear (mostly to cover my knee braces, but I like how they feel and look, too). I have a hat, so I should start trying to wear it some, too!
Thanks Sarah! I was hesitant about maxis too – mostly because I was convinced I could never find one that wasn’t too long – and now I’m obsessed too! ;)
