Hey Everyone!! Today, I am super excited to share with you Karina Dresses Mid Century Modern Collection, I am featuring the Maria Dress in the Karina signature print, Poolside. I was over the moon when they announced that their next collection would be Mid Century Modern because that happens to be my favorite style of design! The term Mid Century Modern covers fashion, architecture and home design from roughly 1933 through 1965. I have always had a love affair with all things from the mid century era, from WWII style fashion, 50's bubbly poodle skirts to the swinging 60s, that aesthetic of clean lines and geometric shapes that was designed to give an edgy, updated and futuristic look to the more traditional modern styles of the time. Karina Dresses are perfect for mid century modern dressing as they feature classic cuts and fabric prints that work great for retro style but are also incredibly modern, timeless fashion, dresses that will never go out of style.

Let's talk about how bright and happy this new Karina signature print is! I love Poolside, it features a bold pool blue backdrop with dainty white flowers with black stems. This color screams blue skies, sunny climates and days spent pool side. The Maria Dress is perfect for those days when you want to feel completely casual but look dressed up. Featuring a scoop neck bodice, no waistband and pockets, the Maria has a casual and relaxed fit with a long flowing skirt. Maria is of course made of the amazing, maintenance free microfiber material that makes Karina Dresses a miracle for those of us who just do not have the time, or talents in my case, to iron a dress but still want to look pressed and put together.
I am wearing the Maria Dress in my usual Karina size, XXL. Fit is fabulous, this dress shows off my curves without clinging and feels like I am wearing almost nothing because the material is so light and airy. I love this length, Maria comes about mid calf on me which is a great length for those days when you need a little more coverage. It was a sunny but very breezy day and I did not have to worry about any accidental wind related indecent exposure incidents because this dress has a lovely, long skirt. Pockets!!!! Do I even need to say more? I adore that Karina Dresses thoughtfully added pockets to this style, it is so nice to have a place to put your keys and phone instead of carting around a purse when you are on a date. I vote that more companies need to follow Karina's example, we want pockets in our dresses! This dress is just pure love, comfortable, stylish and pretty.
