Happy Monday, ladies! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Today’s post is short and sweet – I’m sharing 3 reasons why you need to pick up a midi dress, ASAP.

YOUR WHOLE OUTFIT IS COMPLETE WITH ONE CORE PIECE

I added a belt to this dress, but I didn’t necessarily need it. Midis are so wonderful because their length and statement nature makes them a look in themselves. Of course, you could totally use any of the tricks I’ve talked about to spice up your midi even more. But especially when you have a pretty printed option, a dress like a midi makes such a gorgeous alternative to sitting in your closet naked and feeling completely lost for what to wear. Midi, strap-free shoe (don’t cut off your ankle), and go!

IT’S PERFECT FOR WORK AND PLAY

My favorite thing about midi dresses is their versatility for work and play. The length is perfect for wearing to work. Where a maxi can be too extreme casual or formal, depending on the print or material, a midi is just the right length and not so dependent on other factors to determine it’s appropriateness. Of course, a lace midi or tulle skirt isn’t exactly work appropriate. But a stripe dress like this looks so cute paired with a simple cardigan and it’s fully appropriate no matter where you go.

IT’S GOING TO TAKE YOU RIGHT INTO FALL

Last but not least, your midi will take you right to fall. Even winter. But the stripe, button down midi dress that is so popular right now is going to look gorgeous with chunky knit cardigans this fall. So you don’t have to worry about not getting enough wear and value out of your dress before the season ends. Hello, budget win!
