Lookbook: Maxi-mum

An easy outfit for the end of summer.  It is virtually impossible to find a maxi that I do not have to get shortened and who would’ve thought that Target would’ve had it!  When I passed by this pretty ombre dress, I had to see if it would fit and I was more than surprised to find that the length was just right!  I ended up buying it in pink too because finding a maxi that fits just right is like finding jeans that fits just right.  It just doesn’t happen often!  

What I’m Wearing
Dress: from Target
Bandeau: Forever 21
Sandals: Franco Sarto

The problem with strapless dresses is that I always end up pulling them up all day long.  I added the bandeau to add additional coverage as well as helping with the slippage problem.  Problem solved and the added pop of color was a bonus!

Xhilaration Juniors Smocked Back Maxi Dress
I got mine last summer but check out this one for only $8!

This one looks really short on the model so may be ankle length for shorties like me!
 

Loving the print of this one!

I have a whole collection of bandeau bras to wear under strapless dresses.  As long as you’re not planning on running they provide great support too!

Annette Swappers Reversible Bandeau Bra
I like to get different colors to add an accent to what I’m wearing.  This one is even reversible so you get two colors in one.

 Hanky Panky Lace Bandeau
I have a few lace ones that I like to wear underneath tops that are too low cut.  It’s so much better than worrying about flashing someone!

Newport News
or you could go for one that’s more like a real bra and probably provides a bit better support than those fashion-y ones above.

Sam Edelman ‘Gigi’ Sandal
I think maxi dresses look best when worn with flats.  Wedges can work as well but I’m not a big fan of wedges so I go for the flat sandals.  I really like these ones that are very simple but comfortable.  I shoot a lot of destination weddings wearing sandals similar to these!

  21. Brilliant! Slippage problems coupled with my lack of height would always steer me away from a dress like that, but it looks stunning on you. The pop of color just completes it. Bravo!
