Outfit 29 - Black Floral Maxi Dress

So, I finally pulled the trigger and bought a maxi dress after seeing some form of a maxi on many other fellow fashion bloggers!  =P  I purchased this particular dress from Ross for $15.  *Sigh* It's not thrifted, I know!  *Hangs head in shame* I tried on several dresses and many were either too long, or surprisingly too short.  That was probably meant to be a mini skirt for a taller person!  Haha.  =P  I don't know if it's the angle of my camera but my feet look so darn big in these pictures!!  >_<

I almost didn't bother to try this on initially because it was a size large.  I went back to it the second time around and decided to try it on anyway since it seemed small enough on the top, with room to stretch.  When I tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised it fit, and the length was decent.  I can wear flats with this maxi dress, which I wonder if it means it's too short??  Being that it is a size large, there is room for growth.  I kinda think I look matronly in this, but at least I know it will definitely work for me when I'm actually expecting (one day)!  :)

I decided to pair this with a jean jacket instead of my traditional cardigan.  :) And, for those of you who commented on my previous two "scandalous" outfits, this is like a complete 180 degrees, right?  ^_~

Here's a close-up of the necklace I'm wearing.  I know it's quite bright and distracting!  It's neon pink!  I purchased this for the beads.  It's long enough that I can probably make a necklace and a bracelet from it.
