With spring fast approaching and living back in Florida for the first time, I was in need of some weather appropiate clothes. What I really was looking for was some spring dresses. You know the ones that are cute, comfy and you stay cool in. Especially as the Florida summer is one not to be toyed with. Sunshine and beaches are the Florida way so when I am going to be living here I wanted to make sure my wardrobe had at least one dress that I am sure will be my spring/summer staple.
I was contacted by Fresh Produce Clothes and asked if I would like to pick a few items that I liked off their site that caught my eye, I jumped at the chance. Resort style clothing perfect for warm weather. When I looked through the pages of shirts, pants and women’s dresses I felt as if I was on a vacation. That’s what their clothes make you think of…vacation. As their facebook page describes they are “Inspired by the carefree days of summer, Fresh Produce Clothing is made especially to fit you and your lifestyle. Sun-drenched colors. Fresh, effortless styles with an upbeat spirit. Breezy dresses, must-have capris, artful tunics…Light up the room with us.”
I sent over my picks and anxiously waited to see which one they would send me. When I received the Malibu Maxie dress in oyster I was pleasantly surprised. I looked it over and realized it could be perfect for a casual day walking the beach in flip flops or throw on some wedges for a night out to dinner with the husband or girls night out. Remain casual throwing a tank top under it, or dress it up with accessories. It was lightweight keeping me from over heating in the hot spring/summer days it will definitely be the go to pick in my closet this warm weather season.
I did notice it seemed to run a tad big so while I ordered a small I was having to continually pull it up (hence the idea for the tank top). So for me I will order a size down next time. That however is a quick fix with a good seamstress. Until then I will as mentioned, pair it with a tank or even throw a cardigan over it like I did here:
See perfect for a casual day out. Cool and cute, what more does one ask for in fashion for the warm (or hot) months of the year.
WIN IT
One Daily Dose reader will win their own Malibu Maxie dress (as shown on me above) to add to their spring/summer wardrobe. Valued at $84.00.

HI Toni! You look beautiful in the dress
I absolutely love the convertible travel dress in Sunrise. This could be super adorable with my white cardigan, I feel like being daring in pink this summer.
