I got my first maxi dress last summer before starting my second-hand shopping challenge. I also got matching maxis for me and my girl bringing my maxi total to 2.
Since maxi dresses and maxi skirts are obviously here to stay, I have been on the hunt for another maxi at VV Boutique. I mentioned in my uber famous guest post over at Frugal Edmonton Mama that I recently bought three dresses from VV – a size 6, a size 12 and a $9.10 “one-size fits most” maxi dress. I liked the global colours and pattern of this dress, and the sundress-style top with straps that would still cover bra straps. However, this dress could go either way. Styled wrong and we’re looking at resort-grandma. Styled right and we’re looking at Anthropologie-I’m-starting-a-new-maxi-length-trend-model. I shall demonstrate.
Before I show you Anthropologie-styled, let me show you some real Anthro to illustrate that the length and style and global vibe of my dress are right on-trend.
Those wedges + good posture + my natural height made me tower over everyone today but I owned my Anthro-model-attitude and gave knowing glances to the other women I saw in chic maxis. At least I hope they knew I was giving a knowing glance and not just being socially awkward. I think maxi dress styling boils down to a little effort, like any styling. Sure, just throw it on, but then spend 4-6 minutes polishing up the styling. It doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming! And remember, when in doubt, ask, WWAD?
P.S. You can like me on Facebook where I will try to keep things interesting!
