To The Max

Dress, To The Max. Peeptoes, Charles David. Necklace, Zad. Brass bangle, World Market. Beaded bracelet, Bitten. Charm bracelet, Just 2 Friends. Bag, Franco Sarto


I have a crush on Wal*Mart’s To The Max line. It started with the purchase of an airily knit cardigan with chiffon ruffled trim. Then, I found this simply genius jersey dress and the perfect gray jeans. (I have yet to wear the jeans because I don’t want to spoil their incredible awesomeness with an unworthy inaugural outfit.) My only complaint is that the sizing is inconsistent across the line and the degree difference between sizes also varies wildly. The sizing is so unpredictable that I would not purchase online. It’s a good thing the store is only a bike ride away from my house.

  7. I was also wondering about the material. The texture looks like it would make a nice shirt (for me of course:). FANTASTIC pairing with the necklace (and other accessories). This is REALLY a nice outfit. You've done it again!

  18. Remarkable necklace. Well, all of it, really.

  19. The fabric is a fairly thin polyester jersey. It isn't the best...but doesn't show lumps like some jersies do. I wore a slip on the bottom half for minimal clingage. Jersey gets a bad rap, but I've found that it looks great with the proper foundation garments.

  23. Can I just say, I have been following this photo blog for about a year now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL THE OUTFITS YOU PUT TOGETHER!!! Sounds cheesy, but u r a fashion inspiration to me! :-)

  24. I like the dress, but the accessories are awesome!

  25. I love your outfits! But isn't it much having brown accessories and grey shoes with a navy dress? Not too many colors?

    I am saying that because I've recently had my friends complain about one of my outfits - I wore navy dress with peach scarf and purse and light brown shoes/ Just wanted to know your opinion

    ReplyDelete
  26. Gasp! Where did you get the necklace? It is FABULOUS.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Elena - umm....I have a pretty high mixed color tolerance. Today's color mix is pretty low key, in my opinion. Your outfit sounds just fine. I think you need at least three colors to keep it interesting.

    jennifer - I bought it at Pangaea's store on Ludlow avenue in Clifton (Cincinnati, OH).

  28. Thanks for the comprehensive fabric info, Kasmira. I really appreciate it.

  29. That necklace is all sorts of fabulous!

  30. I wanted to say thank you. I am a frumpy stay at home mom who's never lived out side of small town America (Texas no less) in desperate need of some style. I am clueless. These pictures really help me develop 'an eye' for what looks good. I came across your blog googling 'orange couch'. I also have Charlie Brown affection for that color. Plus I have bright orange hair so I'd better maintain some sort of healthy relationship with it.

  31. It's beyond high time for me to actually post a comment, after now having browsed your blog for several months. I LOVE your use of colour in general.
    And as with everyone else I am I'm lusting after your necklace and amazed at your walmart find!

  36. Another great outfit! Once again I feel the dress accentuates you BEAUTIFUL legs! I also love the sort of `60's hippy feel to it.
