I miss wearing black because of its versatility. Great selection of outfits, I love the pale pink moto. Thanks for linking at #WowOnWednesday, hope to see you next week.
It is so versatile and you are showing so many great options! I do not wear my black maxi dress as often as I should. It is so easy to change up, it is a great piece to have!

Hi, Karin – I really like how you showed many different ways to wear this dress that makes it versatile. I have a sleeveless black maxi dress. It has a knot front which makes it a little more sexy and a little less casual. So after wearing it a few times, I started thinking of it as only suitable for evenings. I never focused on how to layer it or just wear sneakers with it! Thanks for all the work you did on this post. It is appreciated – Angie, http://www.yourtrueselfblog.com
That makes me so happy that my post inspired you to make your dress more useable! I am trying to make my clothes work harder for me and this is one way to do it. Layering and using jackets and sweaters to dress it up or dress it down. Thank you for leaving me such a wonderful comment.
Great style ideas! I am wondering which brand is the dress you have on? Thanks, Julie
HI Julie my black tank top dress is from Old Navy a few years ago. It is kind of a t-shirt type of material.
