Items in my closet that go the distance in terms of style and longevity end up being some of my most coveted pieces. This red maxi dress is one of those items!

Red Maxi Dress

I purchased this timeless red maxi dress a good four years ago. It’s held up extremely well over the years. Truthfully, I don’t wear it as much as I’d like to. I’m a creature of habit and even though my clothes are all hanging together in my closet I always forget to peruse the maxi dress/jumpsuit area of my wardrobe.

Although I’m not the most organized person I am a stickler about keeping all my long hanging garments in the corner of my closet. So they don’t throw off the symmetry of my other pieces. Is anyone else like this?!

While this tactic is great for organizational purposes it makes it hard to remember to browse that section of my closet. I really don’t have a lot of floor length pieces in my closet. So this area is pretty small and tends to be overlooked quite often. I probably bring this dress out about once or twice per summer. Honestly, I love how easy it is to throw on and go out the door!

I’m also making a pact with myself this summer to shop more of my closet for outfits. I feel like I’ve purchased so many clothes the past few years and truthfully my closet is at capacity. Plus, with the wedding coming up in almost a year I’m trying to be more conscious about what I’m spending my money on. I have a ton of great clothes already! Furthermore, I am loving the challenge of getting creative with ways to reinvent them!

Since my red maxi dress is a few years old, I rounded up some similar options for you to shop!
