Allow me to Introduce you to my Favorite Maxi Dresses:

Gang’s all here. The trend is the maxi dress, and just like the warmer temps, it’s back for a fashion bonus round this year. So, you’ve got your striped (whether rugby or chevron inspired) maxi, the v-neck ruffle front maxi dress,there’s strapless and tiered, and even crinkled. And p.s., how much easier does it get? You throw on one dress, some flip flops, maybe a small necklace or ring, and you’re not only done, you’re ridiculously pulled-together and prepared for summer. What to wear? No longer an issue.

For me, the maxi dress is a trend I’ve always wanted to take on, but for some reason, have managed to avoid all together. Until now. I just bought my first maxi I’m proud to say, and I plan on giving it it’s cameo on my upcoming trip to LA (I mean, could I have picked a better location for this unveiling? No, I think not). That’s one maxi down, and with my hit list of favorites below, I’m seeing many more in my near future.
