Fashion Confessional

I have a confession to make regarding a certain summer fashion.

OK. (Deep breath in. Deep breath out.)

I hate Maxi dresses.

There I said it. I think they look frumpy. They make so many women looking like they just had no idea what to do with themselves so they threw on a giant, tablecloth-like piece of fabric. If it is strapless then I hate it all the more. They drag on the ground and so often look schlumpy.

Then this weekend I saw two that suddenly made me think “YES! Without a belt and a ton of cute accessories you can make this work and it won’t make you look fatter and shorter!”

The Gap Chevron Maxi

I don’t love the $75 price but I do love the bold Chevron graphic. It comes in a lot of colors too.

Ooh! A maxi with a bit of flair and one that doesn’t dwarf me. From JCPenney too.

Another JCP style and my favorite is this striped Maxi. The colors are so gorgeous together and its $35!

Finally we have this one from Old Navy. The perfect place to buy a style you aren’t sure about and then wear the heck out of it for one season. It’s Limited Edition too so get it while it lasts!
