One of my favorite trends right now is the maxi dress! It's so fun and flowy, and you can do so many things with it! I usually do the boho thing when I wear mine, but they also look cute with chic and sophisticated accessories. I also love that you can wear the maxi for just about anything...it's great if you have errands to run during the day and don't have time to change before meeting your friends or going on a date at night! I usually wear my maxi dresses one of these three ways:
I have this maxi from Lucky, and it actually is full-length since I'm so petite! I love that the straps are detachable, so I can wear it with straps or without depending on how I'm feeling. This is the dress that I usually wear by itself, because it has an empire waist that separates the elastic-y bodice from the chiffon-y skirt. I love to do neutral flats and earthy, leathery accessories like this bag and necklace!

Another great option, especially for petite girls like me, is to wear the maxi with a belt. For this style, I like dresses that have a natural to low waist so the belt doesn't look awkwardly high. I especially love the soft, feminine details on this white Alice & Olivia dress! I usually choose a braided belt because it can be adjusted to fit me where the waist of the dress is...no hole-punch required! Again, I like neutral, earthy shoes and bag, and dainty accessories like this necklace to match the softness of the dress.

I also love maxi skirts, especially this one from Lilly Pulitzer. I talked my mom into getting it for me on a mother-daughter shopping trip, and I can't get over how cute it is and how well it fits, which is saying a lot because I'm only 5'1! I love that it's slightly more preppy than the dresses and the high-low hem that rises just high enough to show off your cute shoes! I usually wear such a bright skirt with a plain white tee shirt or tank top, and fun bright accessories that are in the same tones as the skirt.
The real question for me is which one of my maxis I'm going to take on my family's beach trip next month! I love the beach-y feel of long, flowy skirts and dresses, so I may just have to take all three!
Have a lovely day!
