Maggy London, son. This label is on 3 out of 4 of my Go To Dresses. These are dresses that look good on my when I’m fluctuating btwn 3 sizes, when I’m in a rush, and can be dresses up or down. If I’m packing, one of these dresses goes in the satchel. If I cant find anything to wear, I’m wearing one of these dresses. If I need to buy something in a rush without trying anything on, I look for Maggy London. The styles I have are classic and have lasted me for more than a few years without dating themselves. I wear them to brunch with flip flops, to work and church with heels, to weddings with glistening accessories- I can take them anywhere.
Yeah, so it’s taken me awhile to update. Do know though that I’ve been in these streets promoting my dressdressdress agenda. It’s really been all about wrap dresses and low-heeled sling backs for work and flip flops for play. In a bad-packing emergency I did not have a wrinkle-free item to pull out of a hastily-filled suitcase so I had to purchase something on the fly. Yeah, I know…I’m not supposed to be shopping. I had to though! Lol. Anyways, I purchased a dress similar to the B option shown below. The fabric is a patterned olive green and it really has a great fit and does great things to accent waists and breasts. I do recommend y’all pick one up. I got a great deal at Macy’s. And I got compliments on my ensemble all night in each random venue I ended up in- including an open bar fundraiser, “upscale” chain restaurant, underground hip hop bar, and train station.
