Editor's Pick of the Week: Simple Maxi

The problem with maxi dresses is their lack of versatility. They are a spring/summer only item that I haven't figured out how to rework for the office or anything beyond a picnic of poolside barbecue. This means those lovely $80 maxis are out of the questions. I don't want to make a big investment. I also want something simple so next years trends won't make this year's dress out of date. And I'm picky so I want straps of some sort because I just find it more comfortable that way.
I'm very please to find this simple Lucky Brand braided strap maxi on clearance for only $24.99 from $89. It comes in Baltic Green (pictured) and Purple Palace. Now my only problem is choosing a color.

If it's really summer weight it can still be layered over long slips and such (I always wear a slip with my skirts anyway). It does depend on the color, pattern and weight of the dress though whether it is really limited to hotter seasons.
