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

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!
ReplyDeletePS, 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
I have a long hot pink skirt...but Ive been kinda scared to pair it with most things..maybe I'll branch out now. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't WAIT to see what you have in store Monday
Love that look! Those colors are so bright and cheery :)

Adorable! I, too, am only 5'2" and I thought I couldn't pull them off either. I bought my first one a few weeks ago and I'm SOLD. LOVE it. Excited for your news on Monday! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI love orange and pink together and I love maxis. A fun look for summer! And this picnic better include some of your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWho isn't in love when them!? CRAZY PEOPLE, that's who!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a good maxi look! I'm a huge fan of the maxi dress and skirt! I'm 5'2 and have just embraced it. I'd rather be nice and comfy in my maxi-wear ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute outfit! Love the orange + pink color combo. :)

Such a beautiful outfit, I am loving the powerful color punch! I would love to be able to have a place to wear a look like this, with the new purchase of a pink maxi dress, I could find a way to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors!
