Maxi-mum Coverage

I love the hippy-dippy look of maxi dresses.  When done right (i.e. fit/colour/pattern is flattering), they look very nice - so flowy and comfortable and easy to wear.  Unfortunately, I'm damn near as wide as I am tall: short and squat doesn't seem like the shape that would suit a maxi dress.  *sigh*  So instead I'll have to be content with admiring other people who can wear these lovely summer frocks.

Cobalt Tie-Die Maxi Dress $199 $79.99

I really like the colour combination in this one.

Ruffle Neck Maxi Dress $69 $49

Obviously I love this one, since aubergine is my favourite colour...

Antiqued Gypsy Dress $148

This one totally would've fit into yesterday's eyelet post!

Oversize Floral Applique Maxi Dress $69.95

Okay, the pattern is a little... bold (read: I'd probably be too intimidated and self-conscious to actually wear it), but I love the pop of white of the flower - it just looks very crisp and clean to me.  (Not that the other dresses looked, uh, dirty...  )

Ooh!  I thought of another reason I'll probably never wear a maxi dress: gladiator sandals.  *whispers*  I'm not really a fan.
