Friday's Fancies #25: Outfit Crush

So here's the deal with me and maxi anything:
I'm 5'2" and had myself convinced that I was far too short to hop on the maxi trend bandwagon, but oh was I wrong. After some convincing from Lauren, I bought a maxi dress, and I ain't ever going back (yes, I said ain't...told you the South was rubbing off on me). Being able to have the comfort of a skirt/dress without having to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions because of a windy day or sitting down at a picnic? Sold. 

My thoughts when I first saw this look in Pinterest:
1. Flowy!
2. I could so not pull that off.
3. Orange + pink + plum + gold = genius.

Clearly I have a highly developed brain. Clearly.

Shop the look:     tank   /   blazer   /   skirt    /   necklace  /    bracelet   /   purse  /   belt    (image)

Are you madly in love with maxis too?
If not, it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon!


XO, LP

  5. I'm 5'2" too, but totally love maxis! Just pair them with a chunky wedge or espadrille wedge & you're set. I'm sure you rock 'em!

    PS, I live in Virginia, too! Always makes me smile to see you post about Richmond since I live (sort of//not really) nearby in Stafford
