Striped Maxi - Penny Pincher Fashion

When it gets to the hottest part of the summer (typically mid-July through August here in NY), all I seem to want to wear is dresses – preferably silhouettes that are breezy & loose-fitting. Not only does it make getting dressed easier & quicker (one piece & done!), but dresses are usually the most lightweight & breathable options that I have in my closet. And when I can find styles that work for both day & evening, even better!

I picked this one up during a flash sale last month and I couldn’t be happier with it. This would be just as cute for the weekend with a floppy straw hat & wedges. I know that the right length maxi dress can be difficult to find, depending on your height – for reference, I’m 5’8″ and this one hits at just the right spot on me (it also comes in petite & tall). I love the bold stripes & the wrap design, which I find to be flattering on every figure.

Now through July 11th, LOFT is running a great online sale – use code LUCKY50 to get 50% off practically everything (that makes this dress under $50!). I also love this pom pom dress, this printed swing dress & this ruffled dress. See more affordable maxi-length dress options below!
