Trend of the month: Maxi Mayhem

So this summer I've decided to live in maxi dresses. They wear perfectly from business day, to romantic night and everything in between. You can wear a maxi to a graduation, a lunch with your mother in law, or a kid's birthday party and be appropriately dressed in each scenario. I am all about the deal, and you can't beat this one!
Another great thing about maxi dresses is that you can accessorize the hell outta them! I absolutely LOVE pairing a maxi with a denim top, like a jean jacket or vest. You can also wear them with a colorful cropped, open cardigan, or a leather jacket. You can pair statement jewelry peices with your maxi too, like a chunky necklace (which I cannot do sadly due to allergies) or colorful bracelets.
Depending on your height, the shoes you pair with your maxi will vary. I'm 5'5 so I can either wear a gladiator flat sandal or a 6inch wedge. You will have to make your shoe selection based on height, preference, and appropriateness of venue. Either route you take, I would opt for a shoe that is opposite of your dress. For example, if you are wearing a bright solid or print dress, I would wear a plainer sandal/wedge (black/white/nude) and vice versa, if I have a plain black or white maxi, Im going for a pop of color in my footwear, like neon or floral. I also make sure that no matter what I wear on my feet,  a must-have accessory is a good pedicure!!
This summer is all about pops of colors and flattering styles, a maxi with a bright shoe/purse, is perfection!

Stay cute ladies:)
PS. Cant figure out how to rotate my pics!! But you get the idea...
