Going to Great Lengths

Looking to spruce up your summer style?  Throw on a maxi dress or maxi skirt for a modern look! This summer, it's all about the length - you've seen them on celebs and you can wear them too!  Full-length dresses and skirts aren't just for formal occasions anymore.  Maxi lengths are great for day and night…they are summer's #1 must-have!

Bethany - Maxi DressI love maxi dresses for day.  I wear them to run errands, shop (of course), and lunch with friends.  For day, I wear mine with flat sandals or flip flops to keep it casual. It's so easy to look pulled together from head to toe in just one step! Throw on heels to take your look from day to night.

Maxi skirts are now a staple to my wardrobe - look how easily this maxi skirt can transition to carry you through cooler days and into the fall season (I hate to think of it, but fashion is always one season ahead). Bethany - Maxi Dress Leather jackets, blazers, and sweaters can all be worn with maxi skirts.  No need to limit yourself to airy tops and basic tanks. 

Maxi dresses look great with sky high wedges too…this look is great for a summer party!  Perfect for a patio soirée or poolside over a coordinating swimsuit.  Just another example of how easy and versatile the maxi can be!

Bethany - Maxi DressUse maxi skirts to help you pull off summer's other trends - color blocking is still big for summer and easy to wear with a maxi skirt in a bold hue!  Otherwise, purchase a basic black maxi and wear it with a neon or metallic top...an easy way to incorporate the newest looks into your wardrobe!

XOXO,

Bethany
