Day Date Maxi Look

Day Date Maxi Look
Hello, loves! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite maxi dresses for summer, the Kaia from Ellie & Adair. It’s definitely an item I would call an elevated basic, because it’s simple and can be dressed up or down, but it has some extra little details. This maxi features collarbone-grazing cutouts, knee-high slits, and… pockets! It’s also the softest stretch material and is so comfy to lounge around in, or it can totally be dressed up for a day date or the material at the bottom can be tied and worn for a GNO with some heeled sandals and a statement necklace.

When pulling the accessories to bring this dress to life, I knew I wanted to keep it playful and casual. I grabbed the necklace to add some color and a touch of glam, the sandals for comfort and simplicity, a denim button down for texture, and a crossbody bag only big enough for the essentials. I felt the look was missing something, so I tried on this panama hat. Just in case you all hadn’t noticed, I rarely wear hats, and only own a handful. They’re just not an accessory I reach for, and I think that’s because I am under the impression that I have an oddly shaped head. Most hats just  don’t fit my head right! I love a floppy sun hat, but most fedoras, caps, etc., I think are super unflattering on me. This one though called to me, and I’ve worn it several times since purchasing. I thought it perfectly went along with the casual, not-trying-too-hard vibe I was going for, and totally a look I would wear for a day date with the boyfriend.

  1. Hello dear! I love your maxi dress and how you styled it with your hat and glasses! This outfit is truly summer perfection. I’m sure all the girls would love to use that awesome discount you included! Thanks for a great post.
    xoxo, Dom

  9. It’s truly a beautiful maxi dress you got there and I must say that stepping out of your comfort zone by wearing a hat is a step in the right direction. As this looks adorable on you I think you should give caps and other headwear a second chance and let us judge if your “head has an odd shape” or not, haha. 🙂
    Perfects accessorizing!

    • Haha, thanks, Thomas! I’m ordering a rose gold baseball cap from the Nordstrom sale, so I may just be sharing that with you soon!

  10. I love your black maxi dress. I can imagine how it is a passepartout item that you can style in so many different ways. I love how you styled it today! The hat is the perfect finishing touch dear Kristin!

  13. This look is so cute! I have been obsessed with these types of hats lately, like wearing it with everything!

    • Thanks so much! I wanted to keep it casual and easy to move around in, because you never know what adventures you’ll get up to on a date!
