I’m sure you know by now that I’m not a big fan of Mondays, but I still always kick off the work week with a little extra panache.  Enter this insane tie-dye peplum dress.  It has the right cut and length for the office, with an eye-opening print that’s sure to jumpstart your morning.

If after all of this, you’re still in denial it’s Monday, you can head over to London Times today, where I’m sharing my savvy summer tips for traveling in and around NYC in style.  Be sure to check it out!

It’s round three of my style collaboration with Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps, Amanda of Little Miss Fearless and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling.  This week, we’re showing you four ways to rock festival fashion and coincidentally, we all agreed that maxi dresses are the obviously the way to go!

Wonder snakeskin skinny cuff; J.Crew orange friendship bracelet; NOLA boutique red bracelet; Target glitter sandals

When brainstorming outfits for this challenge, I was tempted to reach for a graphic tank and cutoff denim, but that seemed a little too simple (ask me again when temps hit triple digits).  This maxi dress (last seen here and here) was a little more chic, but just as easy going.  Top it off with a stack of jewelry, a crossbody bag and my new favorite glitter sandals and I’m ready to jam!

See how Lynzy, Amanda and Caitlin interpreted festival fashion over on their blogs!
