This gorgeous blue and white maxidress from Jay Godfrey retails for a ridiculous $495. I understand it's designer, but really? $500 for a cotton dress? Silly, if you ask me. Apparently, Express agrees, because they've made their own version. It retails for $88, which is a number I can actually swallow. In fact, I like their version better! The blues a big deeper, and the layers around the bust are longer and heavier. It's a great summer dress! I might just have to snag one for myself. You'll soon learn that I have a love affair with maxi dresses. They're first on my lists (jumpsuits are a close second)  - they're easy and breezy. A great way to stay cool without showing off too much leg, a maxi dress looks just as great with a cute pair of sandals as it does with a great pair of wedges. It's a no brainer!
