I call them publicly acceptable pajamas.

//  by Elisabeth McKnight//  8 Comments

dress: GAP (see other options below)// flats: Ivanka Trump // bracelet: thrifted

In the summer heat there is something very refreshing about a soft maxi dress. This GAP number makes style effortless and the heat bearable whatever you’re up to this summer. This week I wore it to the horse races, to church, and out for a night of dinner and shopping (clearly a good choice when packing for this Texas trip). I’m kicking myself for not getting it in coral when I picked it up off the clearance rack two weeks ago because now they’re all out of stock. #firstworldproblems

If I’d done laundry here I’d be wearing it again for the 14 hour drive home today. GAP’s maxis are made out of the same material their super soft PJ pants are (I think) and I’ve concluded maxis are just socially acceptable ways of wearing jammies in public. For those of you who are looking for public pajama options, here are some of my favorite maxis from GAP right now:

P.S. Thanks to Whitney for snapping these during our little shopping adventure this weekend! I shared the first set of pictures from the McKnightfest yesterday and I”ll have lots more Texas photos later this week, promise.

    I couldn't agree with you more on that! I love anything Maxi; skirt or dress! I also find rompers very comfortable, other than "you know what" problem with it… :p
