Are you sick of my alliteration yet? I’m pretty much a poetic genius. #cantstopwontstop

I am absolutely loving this new button down floral maxi dress from Shein! If only this INSANE heat would break so I can actually start getting some more use out of it! I was looking for something flowy, girly and lightweight that I could throw on with sneakers or sandals (hello, Portugal! Can’t believe I’ll see you this week!) and this dress is literally everything I could have asked for and more. It also comes in a few different colors too, so I was really torn when I was trying to decide which one to get.

I’m totally obsessed with the buttons. I think they add an interesting pop against the darker colors, but I will note that you have to button every single one up! It took a while, and I needed Ben to jump in to help with the sleeves, but it’s totally worth the extra bit of effort.

I’ll definitely be bringing this dress with me to Portugal, and I’m about to start packing as soon as I’m done writing this post! Full disclosure: I am a TERRIBLE packer, so I really need to get a head start when I pack for overseas trips. I have such an awful habit of bringing 10,000 outfits that I’ll most likely never even take out of my suitcase. I don’t know how I haven’t managed to fix this problem yet. I did a little better when we went to Spain, but I’m determined to plan outfits ahead of time so I can cut back on the excess weight (and make my life a little easier when I get there!)

Check out this dress on the Shein website here, and let me know what you think of it in the comments below! It’s on sale, too!
