This is the kind of dress you throw on and instantly feel pretty. I’m midsize, over 40, and picky about fit — but this one got it right. The straps stay up, the empire waist gives you shape, and the skirt flows without clinging. I can wear this to a semi-casual event or just out to dinner and still feel like I tried. And the floral? Not too loud, not too sweet — just right.

This floral maxi is everything. Ruffled straps, back tie, and a mocha palette that flatters every skin tone. It’s the one dress that works for brunch, baby showers, and beyond. Click to see it on me in motion.
Lifestyle Blogger
Hi! I’m Lori Ballen. I’m a midlife creator who finds joy in home projects, cozy spaces, effortless style, and simple-but-delicious recipes. I started this lifestyle blog as my personal outlet—a place to create, explore, and share what I’m loving right now.
I live in Las Vegas and travel often, especially on solo adventures and cruises that feed my love for freedom and discovery. When I’m not writing or filming, I’m probably hanging out at home with my two adopted cats—one spunky and playful, the other a total lap lover. They’re constant companions in my quiet, creative life.
This blog is a reflection of that life—equal parts fun, functional, and full of soul. Whether you’re looking for a new DIY idea, a comfy outfit, or a quick dinner recipe, I hope you find inspiration here to create a home and lifestyle you love.
