Wearing: Dress: c/o PB&J Boutique | Head Band: gift | Sunglasses: Prada | Sandals: Tommy Hilfiger via TJ Maxx (similar) | Bag: Kohls (similar) | Watch: Michael Kors
It's no secret that I've got a serious love affair with dresses- I mean, I have a whole separate rack in my closet dedicated to them! So when PB&J boutique offered to send me a product from their store for review, I scoured the dresses section. There are so many darling frocks, and the ones I was most attracted to were maxis! Honestly, as someone who's only 5'7", I'm not terribly short, but for some reason I used to feel super intimidated by wearing maxi dresses. Even though I'm an average height, I don't feel as though I have super long legs, which makes me feel extra short and goofy in them. However, that fear is long gone, and I've embraced all things maxi! Dresses and skirts alike, I'm on the hunt for as many maxis as I can find! This one especially is so light and comfortable. Perfect for those hot summer days!
I specifically chose to go minimal with the accessories in this ensemble, because I wanted the dress and my navy, floral headband to shine. But the very near future, I'll be pairing this with a white blazer and wedges to dress it up or a denim vest to add a fun twist. What about you? Do you adore maxi dresses or stick to a mini/ midi?

I think maxi dresses are gorgeous on everyone! I am 5'5" so it's a little scary sometimes trying on a long dress turn out badly. I think though that everyone can wear them just as long as they find the right fit/cut, just like you did! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteHappy Memorial Day!
I could live in it forever if I could....love this maxi in a great color!!! I'm also wearing one in my latest OOTD in the blog!

That maxi is so pretty and the bow in your hair is darling. I am still quite intimidated by maxis since I think they make me look shorter than I am. I should really try them out.
ReplyDeleteElle, you look adorable in your maxi! I'm only 5' 1 1/2" and I wear maxi dresses (although I do add high wedges to make me at least 5'4") so I don't think you have any worries about being too short to wear a maxi. And nothing beats their comfort on a warm summer day!
