Date Night Maxi Dress + $500 VISA Giveaway [CLOSED]

SO MUCH EXCITING NEWS IN ONE POST!!! EEEEK!

Ok. Deeeeep breaths.

First, as a woman of my height, I have been yearning for a maxi dress that sweeps the floor for about as long as they have been in style. When I find one I like, it often is more of a midi-length dress than an elegant, floor-sweeping number. But fear not, my tall fashionistas! The search is over! I have had great luck finding maxis that are long enough for me this season! Praise be!! This gorgeous number was given to me as a gift and I was so excited to sport it for a date night with my hunny this weekend.

Guys, taking blog pictures is actually incredibly awkward.
See?! I'm a huge, real-life dork!
