Loft Strappy Maxi

Maxi Moment: Mossimo Women's Color Block Maxi Dress Review

Fit: V-neck line & adjustable straps make this an easy dress to wear.  Sizing down from typical junior sizes recommended. The elastic waist can hit a little bit oddly, and as a result the top is a little blousy, & the length is a little long for me (I'm 5'3), but that's nothing a belt can't fix.
Quality: The material is 95% rayon & 5% spandex, and it feels a little bit like the parachute that you'd play with in gym class as an elementary student.  (Anyone with me there?  That was one of my favorite PE activities!) It is completely opaque, and it is a little wrinkle prone.  The material, though substantial, doesn't breathe incredibly well, so not the best for humid summer days.
Price:  This color block maxi dress retails for $29.99, a price point that's significantly cheaper than anything you'll find at some of my favorite retail establishments--JCrew, Banana, etc.
Bottom Line:  I'm a fan, and would recommend if you're looking for a cheap, colorful, and fun dress.

Fashion Fundamental: A great pair of sunglasses.  I think this might have been a fundamental that we've featured before, but a great pair of sunglasses can add just the right amount of glamor and mystery to your look. Plus, if you don't take 'em off, no one can tell that you're not wearing any makeup under there, and you still look styled & polished. :)

LOFT Twist Strap Maxi Dress

This was my first experience with anything maxi-length. I enjoyed wearing a longer dress as it definitely made me feel very glamorous.  :D Don't forget to check out Aili rocking a gorgeous maxi by Banana Republic here.

If you need a longer or shorter length, I've seen maxis in LOFT, Ann Taylor, & BR in tall & petitie styles.

Banana Republic: Orange Maxi

I spotted this dress at the back of my local BR -- I thought it was beautiful, but there was just one size left! It is just a tad too large & long for my frame, but I'm a fan nonetheless. This vibrant piece would be fantastic for a wedding or a big date out.

*Special Happy Birthday to our big brother, Chil!
