Recently my fashion advisory panel (Gwynnie, Kendi and Jill) have been sporting the maxi in skirt and dress form. Am I the last to recognize this trend?
I spent, oh, close to three hours browsing online to recreate their outfits so I thought I’d share what I found. Pretty much everything is under $100, and most are under $50. Cuz I’m cheap like that. :)
A few maxi dress options. The most expensive option is GP’s “budget” find.
Zara long dress, $189 Free People cotton dress, $88 American Apparel a line dress, $58 Maxi dress, $50 Old Navy empire waist maxi dress, $35 Forever21 tank maxi dress, $10
I actually love the skirt more than the dress. Which do you prefer?
Velvet skirt, $88
Some heel and flat options. And I love the idea of putting a bright top or neon tank underneath.
American Apparel rib tank top, $46
Gap shoes, $90
Kvoll shoes, $62
Old Navy wedge sandal shoes, $30
Lace up shoes, $28
Dorothy Perkins blue platform heels, 22 GBP
Kimchi Blue strappy shoes, $20
Wet Seal snake shoes, $20
What do you think of this trend? Or are you already onboard?
Love this post and adore maxi dresses!
I've always loved maxi skirts and am so glad they are back in style. They feel like pajamas…no leg shaving required :)
I just ordered a gray maxi skirt for the summer. Can't wait to mix it into my wardrobe!
I think that means you need to schedule another getaway so you have a chance to wear your new skirt!
Baxter, who knew you were such a fashionista! :)
I love Maxis. I got a turquoise one 2 years ago for a weekend my husband and i were getting away. Love them. Got a black one last year that I STILL haven't worn. I don't get out of the house much! LOL I love, love, love the gray stuff you've chosen. Have a great day!
I am a huge fan of the maxi dress and skirt! They are so light and comfty… not to mention cute! I think I like the skirt best though! Thanks for linking up with us on High on Life!

I don't know if these are in style. I live in the hipster part of Brooklyn and I haven't seen anyone wearing long skirts or dresses. I have seen a lot of people wearing those high heeled sandles. Ouch!
Good to know, thanks! :)
Thanks for compiling all those links! I love this style of dress/skirt because it's long. I'm not a shorts or short skirt person. Just an FYI, Old Navy is having a sale through Monday. :)
Thanks, I'll check it out!
I can't to the maxi skirt, they are cute but I am not long nor lean. The maxi dress helps elongate me but the skirt only draws attention to my not-so-long-and-lean legs.
Hi Stephanie, I love some of those dresses. I included my FAVE maxi dress from Anthropologie (also under $100) on my Summer favorites post today. I'm sure my friends are going to be very sick of seeing me wearing this dress all Summer but I love it. So comfy and flattering. Check it out- http://www.yummymummykitchen.com/2011/05/pistachi…
