Spanx Air Essentials Maxi Dress is the best investment. I originally bought without a sale - and then bought three more. That's how much I love it. It's so easy to wear, but the striped is especially my favorite and the one I always receive the most compliments on. True to size, although if you're in between sizes, size up for a looser fit if you're apple shape. I also linked some more Air Essenfials on sale- I have the crewneck, half zip and the v neck tunic (it's longer and looks so cute with leggings).
