The Most Versatile Maxi Dress
Dress | Scarf c/o* (Similar here & here) | Boots c/o* | Bag (similar)
This maxi dress continues to appear on my blog no matter what season or occasion it is. Sometimes it’s being worn for dinner or drinks in the fall and winter, other times it’s simply worn to run errands in the summer…and here it’s being worn for an adventure in Goreme, Turkey! Yeah, sorry, we’re going back to Turkey for the next few posts. I wasn’t totally done with all my Turkey content back in November, but the holidays started, and I didn’t want to miss out on all the festive fun…so, I took a little break from it.
And now, I’ll be getting back to it! I also have to apologize, as I have not been the most responsive blogger on here and social media the past few weeks. I was home for Christmas with my family and then I came back to Moscow on the 29th of December with my brother-in-law and husband. We did all kinds of touring and exploring in St. Petersburg and Moscow and I’ve barely had time to sleep. But, now, (unfortunately), my brother-in-law has gone back home to the US, and I promise I’ll be a far more attentive blogger from here on out!
But I digress…let’s talk a bit more about this outfit! I had worn this dress to walk down and do some shopping in Goreme and then have dinner, before going to bed early for our hot air balloon flight in the morning! This dress maxi dress was perfect for the occasiion…it is so versatile and easy to dress up or down. (See other ways I’ve styled it, here & here.) It breathes really well, and I love the shape it has to it. For the winter and fall, I like to pair it with tights and boots and scarves. It was warm enough in Goreme that I didn’t need my tights when I wore it, but a scarf was great to keep me warm after the sun went under.
Two things to note about this dress, though…1.) It does have a rather high slit. I have yet to have a wardrobe malfunction, though, despite the windy conditions I’ve worn it in. (It just makes me nervous sometimes!) 2.) This dress has A LOT of buttons on the front. They’re lovely, but it takes me forever to button them, haha.
Also, I wasn’t trying to make any fashion statements by pairing my hiking boots with a dress. These just happened to be the only shoes I had along for this trip! So, that’s what I wore. I think it still looks fine enough, though. (Seriously, these hiking boots are the bomb too! So comfy to walk in, AND they’re keeping my feet warm and dry through this snowy Moscow winter I’m experiencing.)

I actually like the boots with the dress! I always want to go with a maxi on vacation but I worry about shoes when I want to bring as few as possible but be comfortable for all the walking
Thank you! These boots really worked well for this trip. And I honestly feel with a dress like this, you can pair almost any type of shoe with it.
Maxi dresses are my favorites too. They never go out of style and with our weather here in Manila, maxi dresses are perfect.
Yay! So glad you love them too! 🙂
I absolutely love the floral print on the dress and the scarf works so well with it. You’re right; it is so versatile. Easy to dress up or down.
Great post! x

Aw, thank you!
That dress is absolutely stunning – and what a location! I would love to visit Turkey.
I will check out the dress in the meantime!! 🙂
Thank you so much! I hope you make it there one day. 🙂
This dress is so beautiful and you look beautiful too. I love how you styled it with this scarf. I would love to visit Turkey someday because this backdrop is incredible.
Aw, thank you!
I misjudged maxi dresses until I tried one and was instantly converted. These boots are nice, too!
Same here! 🙂 And thank you so much!
I think that maxis don’t get the love they always deserve. Because you can layer under them so easily. And adding in the hiking boots is quite a great dichotomy….yeah, that’s the ticket!!!
And you deserve a break, so no apologies needed!!!
