Hello Maxi

Friday's Fancies are in full gear today!! What better piece to hone in on than the maxi summer staple?
I have a love for the dress style, as well as the skirt style. Mix with fun and colorful jewels, clutches and heels- Best summer palette by far!






I just added a new maxi skirt to the wardrobe last week and it's one that will never get dull! It can be mix-matched with all sorts of accessories and tops!! Maybe I can sneak a little pic in and show you exactly what I mean!

You prefer the maxi dress or maxi skirt?! Or just can't choose, like me?

    I prefer the skirt over the dress - I like to break it up a little!

    Only if the skirt is pleated I prefer the dress, otherwise the skirt!

    I'm addicted to both the dress and skirt. They are soooo comfy! Kind of like wearing sweatpants, but so much more fabulous:) Love both looks!

    I'm not going to get on my "I'm not a maxi kind of person" soapbox today...I will just say that I love the color you have going on here and if anything could get me to jump on that bandwagon, it would definitely be the pleats!!! Have a great weekend, Drew!

    I LOVE maxis. They totally save my private school teacher wardrobe. And yellow accents are the best!

    I can't choose. I like them both. The dress gives me ease in putting together a comfy chic look. The skirt gives me the option to add more color with a top. I love both of your looks here too.
    Have a fabulous weekend,

    I prefer the dress because I am too lazy to figure out what top would go with a maxi skirt, but pleated maxi skirts are gorgeous!

    Absolutely adore your lookbooks! I tried maxi myself and it didn't work for me. Now I am going to give it a second chance!
    Thank you darl;)

    Thanks for checking out my guest post over at Aubrey's blog :-)

    I prefer the Maxi skirt - but that could just be because it's my favourite colour, purple :-) Love the necklace and the ring you paired with the skirt, and the earrings and purse you paired with the dress :-)
