The best thing about transitional spring weather is that you can get away with wearing really comfortable maxi dresses! There are so many different styles, prints and fabrics these days, which makes it super easy for most women to be able to follow this trend. For the past 5+ years I haven’t been able to take advantage of this trend because the maxi dresses and skirts were still too short for me. I would do everything from wearing flat sandals, to getting the stretchy thick waist bands so that I could wear it as low as possible to give the illusion that it wasn’t too short. No to stress, now retailers have caught on and offer maxi’s in longer lengths.

If you have the opposite issue than me, it’s super easy to get your maxi’s altered. Most dry cleaners have an alterations person who you can send your items to or they have someone where they can recommend you. Be sure that you bring the proper footwear. If you ever want to wear heels with your maxi, be sure to bring those heels to your alterations appointment. Typically a basic hem is anywhere from $10-$15.

I love this maxi dress from Wren & Ivory for the gorgeous print. The bold flowers brighten my day and attract others, because I’ve already received quite a few compliments. Also, the blues and purples compliment my skin tone and hair color. Styling this dress is super easy, because any nude, brown or black boot or sandal goes great! As for jewelry, you can really play this look up with stacking jewelry and larger bracelets, earrings or a necklace than you might usually wear. Allow yourself to go boho with your maxi’s and embrace the carefree spirit of mixing and matching your jewelry or wearing more pieces than you usually would. I can’t forget to mention – this dress has pockets!
