As promised, here is a compilation of all of my maxi dress looks from April until now. Check out all of the different ways you can style one comfy dress (or a few in my case) !
The most common comment I get from people when I wear a max is "I can't wear that. I'm not tall enough." That's just poppycock! I am only 5'3" and am certainly no waify twig. Just rock 'em, girls! Life's too short not to.

I like June 6, with the leather vest, and scarf over the orange maxi. Superb, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI like them all. July 3rd is classic and I like July 9th (or I should say I like you in the photo with the sock-it-to-me attitude). And I like May 28th which I think you loved (we had lunch that day and you were struttin' it!). Way to go....all look unique and very fashionable.
ReplyDeleteI can't pick favorites...of anything, really, but I LOVE the vest-over-maxi-dress look!!!
ReplyDeleteThe grey maxi skirt with the white toe, fab necklace and top bum. BY FAR! I agree, I thought I'd look like ass in a maxi, but it is my favorite piece to wear.
ReplyDeleteNot white "toe" white Top. I can't spell lately.
ReplyDeleteI've seen all of them, cause, i love your blog ;) but, i love seeing them again! and you're 5'3"? i am 5'3" as well! YAY for short girls! being short is sexy and cute :) i really do think so, and of course you can rock a maxi dress, heck yeah, i would if i had some too! i love mile long stuff, like wide leg pants and skirts, i still have to yet wear a maxi dress, but i will make one for myself one of these days, and wear it in your honor :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous looks, all of them!
wow, I never wouldve worn them so many different ways.
ReplyDeletestyle idol.
I LOVE seeing all the way you've worn these!! Fabulous!
ReplyDeletei like the orange dress!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the orange dress! I NEED it!!
ReplyDeleteThose all look great! I love my maxi dress, even though my husband calls it my "witch dress" (since it's so long and black). :0) Brava!
ReplyDeleteI like them all but I love the first one the mostest! Yes MOSTEST!
ReplyDeleteWhat a spectrum of style! You really rock the maxi and make me wish I had gotten a more neutral/versatile one this summer instead of one with a bold print.
ReplyDeleteMaxi Queeeeen!
ReplyDeletei love that grey maxi skirt!
ReplyDeletehonestly, i do have a problem finding a great maxi because i'm only like a little below 5'2..but i think with a wedge sandal i'd be okay. i guess i just haven't found one that fits me right yet ;p
look #3 and the last one with stripes, it's a tie.
ReplyDeleteI knew you have remixed your maxis in a lot of ways but 14..thats a record. I love your orange maxi and all the ways you have worn it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for this compilation. It's simply inspirational. :) I have a maxi and looove re-mixing it. So fun!
ReplyDeleteyou sure know how to rock out the maxi! thanks for the inspiration!! i love the orange maxi and your look on may 14 x
