The hem on this Etro maxidress requires no hand to hold it up so it is easy to wear during the day. This sleeveless maxidress can be warm on a hot autumn day as predicted for Pasadena today and I can skip the nylons, wearing it here with chunky heel Chanel boots. I bought both the Etro maxidress and the Chanel pumps at a 75% discount from Neiman Marcus — one of my favorite places to shop because a purchase depends on finding the right size — and one of my American Express credit cards rewards me with gift cards to use at NM. I have had both the Etro dress and the Chanel pumps in my closet for a long time and they remain some of my best purchases for style, quality, and because ai can find so many reasons to wear them. Later today I can slip on a leather jacket and this dress becomes more versatile — and I can kick off the pumps for boots! I use fashion to create a happy disposition so that I can be productive — hope it works for you too!
