Hello Everyone! Sunday Shopping is back again this week, and today we are going to take a look at Maxi Dresses. I know that they aren't for everyone, but there are some that do like them and others that are on the fence about trying them, thus the reason for my post. I happen to be one who does love wearing them...they are not only comfortable, but very easy to 'throw on and go' with a pair of sandals and fab accessories, creating a look that is 'casually and effortlessly chic'.
Knowing that I love maxi dresses and wear them a lot in the spring and summer, my lovely bloggy friend ajc (of the blog A JC Shopping Habit) asked if I would give some recommendations of maxi dresses that aren't strapless for her reader Joelle, who wants to try one this year...of course I said yes. :) Let's do a little 'online window shopping', shall we?

Splendid Tee Maxi Dress in 'Posy' (also available here) I love the idea of this dress...the look of a tee and skirt, but with the comfort of wearing a dress. It also reminds me so much of this look from the Jil Sander Spring 2011 collection that was one of my favorites. |
 |
Splendid Tee Maxi Dress in 'Agave'...such a pretty color. |
 |
Splendid Tee Maxi Dress in 'Cobalt'...love it in this color, too. |
 |
| Calvin Klein Stripe Cap Sleeve Maxi Dress. This would be really cute with a pair of red sandals or handbag, and could also be worn without the belt. |
|
Dee & Ray Printed Kimono Maxi. The vee in front looks fairly deep, but a low-plunge bra or cami worn underneath would easily solve any 'overexposure' issues. (You could also have the vee sewn up a bit at the bottom.) |
 |
Liz Claiborne New York Fully Lined Printed Chiffon Maxi. When I saw this in the 'Raspberry pink' colorway (it also comes in an equally lovely 'Sky Blue'), I couldn't help but think how much it reminds me of the print on my Bazaar Tunic Dress from J.Crew. Of course I know it isn't the same print, but the similarities are there, no? |

| Merona® Ruffle Front Maxi Dress...very cute. Be sure to watch the video so you can see how it moves. This one also comes in 'Lipstick' pink, 'Pongee tint' (which appears to be a yellow shade), and 'Zonk' blue. Right now Target is running a promo on their Dresses and Sandals: Spend $50 and save 10%, plus most orders of $50+ ship for free. :) |

Mossimo® Knit Maxi Dress in Black/White Stripe. (Video of this one, as well.)
What are your thoughts on Maxi Dresses? Do you wear them frequently during the warmer weather months? If not, are you planning to try one this year? Please do share...I always love to hear from you! :)
Have a lovely day!
