While running errands in this outfit, I was asked by a salesman if the thing to do now is to wear Converse with a dress... ummmm, really? I was thinking this look is so yesterday. I politely replied that Chuck Taylor's are cool with pretty much anything in my book. But, I found it a little odd that a salesman would make a comment about my outfit, and not in a good way like "you look nice" or "pretty dress". The fact that he actually questioned my outfit choice made me wonder if I looked silly. Well...that thought lasted about 2 minutes before I realized this is who I am, it's my personal style and if this person doesn't get it, it's okay with me. Everyone style is different and this makes our world a more interesting place.
I'm sure his comment was mean as an ice breaker, although it was a little awkward. How do you feel about this look?
Here are more of my favorite maxi dresses, some are 40% off at the Loft right now!

That maxi dress is gorgeous and I love the styling with the denim jacket and sneakers.

You should tell that salesman that you're a fashion blogger and on the cusp of new trends! Does he read 100 blogs a day? I think not. jodie
