When I create a look I go all out. It might be all out subtle, or all out classic, but it’s important to me to create a completely cohesive look. So when I pulled out this Grecian-goddess style maxi dress, I wanted to pair it with similarly inspired accessories. Enter the Socrates-would-be-proud laurel crown and the gladiator sandals.

Fall is coming on strong with temperatures next week in the 60s. I’m sure in March that’ll seem hot as blazes, but for now I’m excited to welcome in layers, pants, and jackets again. This maxi is my last hurrah in the summer heat.
