Wowi Maui - Stunning Spring Fashions #MMSpring

This Stunning Spring Fashions event is a Fashionista Event Opportunity and is hosted by Still Blonde after all these YEARS and yours truly. #MMSpring and a corresponding #Giveaway

Dress: c/o Monroe and Main
Jacket: H&M
Tights: Target
Boots: Vince Camuto
Earrings: Claire’s
Necklace: Mimi Boutique
Watch: Kohls

I’m sitting here writing this post as the snow continues to pile up outside my window and yet Spring is around the corner; or so I want to keep thinking. The stores and retailers have begin their usual switch-over to warm-weather wear. And of course, Monroe and Main is no different. This Wowi Maui dress from the company has me in the mood for warm weather, sandy beaches, bright sun and subtle tan lines.

When the snow disappears and the temperature rise above the single digits this will be a perfect every-day dress. Even better, it’s a dress that works perfectly now in the cold weather and will work just as well in the warm weather too. I’m envisioning a pair of black wedge sandals for the summer, perhaps paired with a sweater in the Spring time and no extra layer in the Summer.

The other great thing about this dress is the number of colors it can be paired with. Army green. Black. Brown, Tan. Coral. Cream. They could all work with this dress and work to dress it up or down; make it more suitable for the various seasons. Darker colors for the colder weather, lighter and brighter colors for the warmer seasons. It has small sleeves and a square neckline in the back. The dress also ties in the back, which can be easily hidden with a jacket or sweater. Unfortunately, it is not long enough to wrap all the way around and be tied off in the front.

Ready to start updating your wardrobe for Spring? Here’s your chance. Monroe and Main has teamed up with the Fashionista Events group. 27 bloggers are featuring their favorite Spring looks from Monroe and Main; PLUS those bloggers are each offering a prize pack worth $110. This Spring package includes a new watch, an adorable scarf and the perfect black and white handbag.

I like the Tessa Ponte Dress for a couple of reasons, besides the fact that it is pretty. It as a sleeve, which is good for someone like myself who has lost a lot of weight. Bat wings, AKA flabby upper arms, are not pretty. Also having the criss cross detail above the natural waist is flattering if you have a bit of a tummy.

I like a lot of these dresses and there is no way I can choose one favorite. Therefore, I will name one of my favorites which is the Geometric Dress that Shelley styled on her blog. I chose it because I love the colors and the fit and its versatility.
