Monday Maxi

Hey lovelies! Hope you're all enjoying some more gorgeous sunshine (albeit absolutely crazy winds) and yet another bank-holiday (so many at the moment it's mad!) 

As the weathers been so gorgeous lately my mind has obviously been turned towards Summer Styling and one of my ultimate must have items for Summer is the...

Maxi Dress

Maxi Dresses top my must have for summer list for a large variety of reasons:
1) They are incredibly flattering to all figures- Wether you're a size 6 or a 16 a good Maxi dress manages to skim and disguise at the same time as clinging to and emphasisng - magic!

2)They're so freaking comfy! Honestly apart from the fact that  yes, you do have to pay attention when climbing the stairs (or end up on your nose as it has been known to happen) they're just so easy! So manouvarable and so forgiving to a big Lunch time blowout!

3)They're so versatile - Dress them up Dress them down you can pretty much do anything with them for any occasion. Beach to Ball they work for anything.

 Firstly the gorgeous Khloe Kardashian

 To show the versatility of Maxi Dresses I've chosen three lovely ladies with different figures Khloe of course is a champion for Curvy girls and here is looking fantastic in this gorgeous striped dress

Next we have the super pretty Lauren Conrad

 Lauren has a slim but curvy build - Although very toned she does have hips and boobs and is no size zero and therefore this dress is perfect on Lauren as it showcases her tiny waist bit skims slightly looser around the hips for a super flattering look

 

Lastly no Maxi Dress post would be complete without the divine Miss Nicole Richie

Nicole is absolutely teeny tiny so she's the perfect example of how Maxi-Dresses can even flatter the most petite body shape! Combined with her effortless bohemian style this look is perfection.

Some more amazing examples of how to wear a maxi dress with incredible style can be seen at the blog http://www.gawgusthings.com/ seriously if I could pick anyone as an example of how to wear a maxi dress to perfection it'd be this lovely lady!
