Even though this was the fourth week of school, today was only the second Maxi Dress Friday of the year so far:

This plain and simple black dress may seem a little boring, but I really wanted to spotlight my brand new sage green belt:

I suspect it will shock no one to discover that this dress is another spectacular purchase from Target's maternity section. Because I am a bit on the taller side, maxi dresses are often hard to find in a long enough length for me. Maternity dresses are cut to run longer to allow for a baby bump in the front, which makes them just the right length for taller folks who do NOT have a baby bump. (I'm pretty sure if I did have one, the dress would suddenly become too short again.) This dress - like the one I wore Wednesday - is also made of a knit jersey material, which means it's like wearing a giant comfy t-shirt to school, and who wouldn't love to do that?

While I did want to shine a spotlight on my belt, I felt the outfit would still be too plain without any additional accessorizing, so I added a fun chain necklace and a chunky silver bracelet. I honestly wish I had had some better shoes to wear, but I went with some flips that are pretty much the same shade of green as the belt.

So do you like the belt? The dress (plain though it is)? Let me know!
