This Summer it’s all about the 5 pieces 1 outfit in real life. 5 pieces 1 outfit is the first series here on the blog every other Friday. It stemmed from my love of classic yet modern, easy to wear, chic and simple fashion. This Summer will be one of the busiest ever for me, and I live in Florida so it’s gonna be hot. I don’t want to have a lot on, and getting ready can’t take a lot of time. It’s the perfect time to do a ton of 5 pieces 1 outfit real life posts! I have a formula when I do these in real life – top, bottom, shoes, earrings, finisher. My finisher depends on what I’m doing and it also means I might actually photograph 6 or more pieces, but I’ll explain each outfit so you’ll understand why.

This week is all about the perfect black maxi. This dress is another one of those times when I struggle with 5 actual pieces. The dress is just so amazing that it really speaks for itself. I love that you can dress it up or down easily with just a change of accessories. In the chillier months I love to add a jean jacket to this, but I’m so excited to be able to wear it and show off the fun back. It’s rare that those of us with big busts get to show off this much back. This look was for dinner out with friends. The dress with some simple shoes, killer earrings, my favorite clutch and we’re good to go!
