Maxed Out

by Jen on Thursday, May 9, 2013

I'd never really been a maxi dress kind of girl, but this cobalt stunner definitely changed my mind: something about the pleats and bold graphic pattern instantly made me feel pulled together and much taller than I am. I received it late last summer and only had the chance to wear it once, so I was particularly excited to pull it out again this spring to wear with some new favourites.

Indeed, this is a great maxi dress! The geometry and pleats are fantastic. Of course, your new leather jacket is the perfect addition to any outfit to make it stand out!

This is such an adorable look! Love the vibrant blue and the sharp and defined shapes on the maxi dress. The leather jacket is gorgeous on you too!

That is such a pretty maxi! Maxi dresses tend to be very plain and basic, but I'm glad you found one that's a little jazzed up!

Jen, this dress is SO stunning on you, and looks so gorgeous with your new Zara jacket! That first photo is amazing! I actually just purchased my first maxi dress recently and I'm excited to give it a go!

Love your dress, it's so beautiful. The color is very bold. Nice choice pairing it with the leather jacket. xx

That pop of lipstick is the perfect complement to the blue dress!

You look amazing, what a gorgeous dress. I have shied away from maxis thinking I would look smaller but they actually give you length!
