I love how comfortable a maxi dress is, but its hard to find a maxi dress that looks right for fall. Most of the the maxi dresses I own are either for the spring or summer, but this plaid maxi from Francesca’s was one I knew I could wear this fall season instead. I just had to find a few ways to make it warmer and a little bit more appropriate for New England fall weather. I decided to add a cardigan and I am also wearing fleece-lined leggings underneath (I know, you can’t even tell, right?) I love cobalt blue, and was happy I got to show off my new hand painted leopard bangle from Stacy Brown Designs!
