This summer I'm living in my maxi dresses, however, occasionally I'll run out of ideas for dress pairings and will get a little creative. This time I opted to (temporarily) turn my favorite maxi dress into a skirt and pair it with a v-neck tee to achieve a look similar to fellow 'bohemian' Mary Kate. Are you following the maxi trend this season?

I LOVE maxi dresses. I just think they are so easy to wear. Love them so much. And they are so comfy!

I Can Be Many Things
I have not jumped on the maxi dress band wagon, I thin they make me look shorter then I actually am! But I would love to find a maxi dress I just love!
ReplyDeleteHilliary, It's common misconception, I'm 5'2 and they actually make me look taller. I wrote a guide on how to wear a maxi http://thefrugalistadiaries.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-friend-maxi-how-to-wear-it.html
ReplyDeleteMegan, love your rendition of Mary Kate's look - it's a look I've seen before and really really like how cool yet classic it is! I loooove maxi dresses and skirts and I'm 4'11''! As long as you pair the length with wedges I think anyone can pull it off! oh, also really love your subtle pop of pink in your lips and nails :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE DRESS!

This look is so chic - I love the stripes and the bold lipstick :)
ReplyDeleteThat lip color is perfection.
ReplyDeleteturning of Maxi dresses into V neck skirt is really good and it suits you also.
ReplyDeleteCute! I was "living in maxi dresses" this summer too because they are so comfy....right up until I saw my mom and she said, "OMG, that dress makes you look soo fat" Ouch.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cool, hip and polished. Simply Amazing Megan and I am just now starting to follow you @ your blog. Do the same and start following Elegance Personified, please. I normally don't wear something like this but I am willing to try it since you look incredible. =) Love your Ombre hair too, the purse and your lips and sunglasses make it all look so effortlessly beautiful.
