Queen of the Empire

Let's talk ridiculously flattering shapes. I'm talking about my go to, your favorite and mine, the empire waist. It's universally forgiving and it's my favorite cut for a dress. Because it's summer aka maxi season let's look at empire cut maxi dresses.

Nordstrom, Felicity & Coco Empire Waist Maxi, $98

I don't often post pieces close to $100 but when I do I like to give an explanation. This dress is worth every single penny. All over saturated cornflower blue with a stunning neckline. This is your go to summer dress. Add a jeweled belt, try chandelier earrings, or throw on a jean jacket and go.

Asos, Traffic People Silk Maxi Dress, $91

Polka dot and floral? Count me in. 

Kohl's, Milly Print Empire Maxi Dress, $54

Last week we looked at the Milly for Kohl's line and you guys went wild. This maxi still works and it comes in four colors.

Old Navy, High Neck Maxi Tank Dress, $35

Ok, real talk, summer means sweat-city. I love Old Navy for cotton dresses that I don't feel about living in because I toss them in the wash.

The empire waist is a staple in my closet and that includes these maxi dresses. The cut makes the torso look long and lean. Solid or print, it's a win.

Be fabulous today!
