#TheMessyProject ------>>> ROAR!

its baaaaackkkkkkkk

Welcome back to the one & only #TheMessyProject!

SO If you are new around here & have yet to hear about the project, you can check out all the info HERE..... but here's just a quick little intro to help you get more acquainted to the project  ----> 

SO for this round I wanted to stick with the same theme I had last week of black & white stripes. Its funny because I am seeing black & white stripes EVERYWHERE now.....I mean how can we forget Robin Thicke's VMAs performance wearing the thick pin striped suit...um hello Messy Project from last week! 

I have decided I am going to start theming the up coming messy projects to add a twist to them. So I hope you're excited. However, #TheMessyProject is going to be taking September off while I get my classes and everything else in order & organized, then we'll be back better than ever in October! 

So since we are rounding out the end of summer...for some, we still have summer through october here, I wanted to end the month of August with something that I has been my staple piece allllll summer.....something I am completely MAXED out on ------->>>

So I sent the girls this super comfortable funky striped maxi dress. However, since fall is right around the corner I wanted to show you how you can transform some of your summer clothes into fall clothes. It is actually pretty easy to do with a maxi dress. 

SO as you can see all I did to make the transition from summer to fall is added a sweater. I didn't want to add anything too crazy since the stripes on the dress are already a little crazy so I kept it simple with a black & white sweater. Also I knotted the bottom of the maxi to tighten up the bottom a little, so that it would flow better with the oversized sweater. Another trend I have been seeing a lot of lately is animal print. Not leopard print, but actual leopards or lions. The crazy cat lady in me loves it. 

dress: local boutique {sorry ladies}
sweater: express
flip flops: havaianas
sunglasses: ray ban
jewelry: tiffany & co 

SO what do you think of the sweater over the maxi? How would you have transformed the dress from summer to fall? How would you have styled the dress? 

NOW go & check out the other ladies & they're fun looks with the maxi ---->>
