Maxed Out!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  So, if you've been following my blog,  you know I love being comfortable and cute!  When it comes to ultimate comfort, maxi dresses are key!  I just adore them because they're elegant and chic.  I also love the versatility of maxi's.  You can easily throw on a blazer/sweater for work or wear alone with cute accents for an after 5. 

I've known many females to avoid maxi dresses.  To those of you who fear them, here are a few tips on how to select the right style for your body type.  

Tidibit:

• For petite females, you may want to wear heels/wedges since most maxi dresses are made for average heights.  Also, go for maxi's with higher waistlines.  This gives the illusion of height.
• For women with CURVES, consider selecting a combo maxi.  These are two-toned maxi dresses.  Make certain the top is lighter than the bottom.  This gives the illusion of a slimmer build.
• For my well-endowed ladies, go with a v-neck maxi.  This style provides balance to the cleavage area.  
• For the coke bottle figures, fitted waists with full-flaring skirts are appealing. 

My hair is blown out with a low, messy side bun style.
