J Crew Seychelle Maxi Dress love

After seeing this post on Slastena's amazing blog, About All and Nothing At All , I decided to wear one of my favorite dresses that I haven't seen a lot of buzz about online (although I have no idea why). This was a retail only maxi dress and the minute I saw it, I had to try it on which quickly turned into taking it home. It is unlike any recent maxi dresses that J Crew has released and I love how it is so light, breezy and boho-chic for summer. This is a size 6 and it runs TTS with adjustable straps that button in the back.

I am wearing them with the Olympia Suede Wedges that are showing as $149.99 online but were marked down to $59.99 in stores. Crazy pricing discrepancy. I really didn't like the look of these until I put them on my feet and that changed everything. I had to size up a half size in these.

And here is what I wore yesterday. I didn't get an IRL picture because I was so exhausted by the time I got home with all the kids from church that I just threw on sweats and curled up on the couch. I am on the mend now though.....yippee!!
