Maxed out!

I have seen a ton of maxi dresses this summer and I gotta say, I am in LOVE!! I never thought of myself as the maxi dress kind of girl. I couldn't find any long enough or that accentuated my curves in the right way. Usually it was like I was wearing a tent.
I recently got a maxi dress at Old Navy. I was hesitant to try it on but the pattern and colors were so fun I just couldn't resist. The dress looked so good on! It is an empire cut so it was tight around my chest and flared out, sleeveless, lightweight and it hit the floor (never an easy thing to find) I then realized that its the length that mostly determines if a maxi dress will look good. Of course the cut of the neck, color, sleeves or sleeveless, and shape of how it fits on your body has a pretty big role in how it will look, the length makes or breaks it.
So next time you see a maxi dress and think to your self "maxi dresses just don't look good on me" TRY IT ON FIRST! Generally that is my rule with everything. I would hate for you to miss out on the comfy, continent and very cute trend this summer.
