I love maxi dresses, they are so feminine. Unfortunately, I cannot wear them as am a bit too short and they make me look like a Russian doll rather than a delicate petal. :) x
ReplyDeletelucky gal. i adore the christ benz color block dress.
ReplyDeletethe stella and phillip lim are my favs! and bummer, i wanted the scarf :)
ReplyDeleteI'm desperately searching for a Maxi-skirt! Until now I could't find one I really like. But I'm definitely into some of your proposals! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner! :)
ReplyDeleteI love these maxis, but I can't wear too, because I'm a short girl. :)
XoXo
I love maxi dresses.....and the elegance that comes with them and Victoria Secret always has a lot of beautiful affordable ones.....
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winner
Gorgeous! I love the maxi because a) they are so forgiving :) and, b) they are so comfortable on a hot summer day.
ReplyDeleteLovely post :)
Congrats Jennifer, the 3rd dress reminded me of the Denver Broncos!
ReplyDeleteI'm soo ready for maxi's. How sweet and relaxing to wear:)
ReplyDeletethanks!! I know I'm in love with that Balmain jacket... too bad it's "a bit" out of my budget... ;)
ReplyDeletexxx
i am not very fond of long dresses but i would definetly wear these. congrats cc for the beautiful posts!
ReplyDeletei'm in serious love with most of those maxi dresses. and i really have no idea why i don't own one...i NEED to get one.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE MAXIS!
ReplyDeleteCan I please please say that every girl that thinks they are too short for maxis is WRONG!
I am SHORT! I am 5'5" and EVERYTIME I wear a Maxi, people comment on either A) how slim I look or B) how tall I look. Without fail!
So please people, everyone can wear a maxi - big, small, tall, short, it looks good on everyone!
Don't believe me? Come look on my blog! I'm short AND big!
That wee rant aside, I have to say that the Foley and Corrina one and the Gypy 05 silk tube dress, are so awesome!!!
Would buy them, but I just got a yellow maxi today from Urban Outfitters :)
The last dress is adorable! It's can be very, very feminine!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, darling!
FM~FP~AF
In fact, I'm just gonna have to make a post on how everyone looks good in a maxi!
ReplyDeletei'm in the market for a maxi!
ReplyDeleteIN LOOOVE with stella resort. isn't it incredible??!!
ah.
xxxx
i'm glad you do. it's twice as healthy than the banana and it's more eficient in the battle against cancer.
ReplyDeleteI'm for the Cameron colorblock! Sooo bright and cheerful. Perfect for summer!
ReplyDeleteHello, darling! Wow... It's only been an hour and already so many comments... :) Just thought I'd drop you a line to thank you for adding me to the "important list". :) Have a nice day! xxx
ReplyDeletelovely maxis! I'll have to have one this summer!
ReplyDeleteI want them all!! Please, can I have them all?? :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm such a big fan of maxis.... since I'm not very tall but I'm not petite I think I can pull them off.
Just a question are just maxis dresses that come back or maxi skirts too?
Thank you for such always great posts, CC
xoxo
the white dress is beautiful! i loved it....
ReplyDeletethe t bags feathery one & the one with the cool cut out sleeves...i lost count & can't seem to figure out what's what!!
ReplyDeletecant wait to have mine... specially for this summer
ReplyDeleteOk, I got it, the Mara Hoffman, but I just looked it up and it's over $600....hello, recession much??
ReplyDeleteWhen they first came out I wasn't a huge fan, but they've grown on me since then. It's a very casual glam look for summer! I like the Gestuz abstract print number.
ReplyDeleteI so do love maxi dresses, especially being a mom, I can't always prance around in spikes and leather..lol! Love the post!
ReplyDeletexo!

You really know how to find the IT items Carrie! I love your picks! Another great post lady. Thanks for sharing! Love the Maxi's btw :)
ReplyDeleteI love maxis, they fit right in with my comfy yet chic aesthetic as of late.
ReplyDeleteI agree, EVERYONE looks great in a maxi! I'm only 5'4 and I've found they're quite flattering!
Yay great post CC! XOXO
Love the drama of the last photo.
ReplyDeleteGahhh I was having such a horrible, terrible, miserable day and then I saw your message that I won!! Yay! Thanks, Carrie!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love those dresses, especially the brightly colored ones. I wish I was tall so I could wear them properly (well, without them dragging on the floor, haha).
My mom is buying maxi dresses like they are going out of style.
ReplyDeletecongrats to contest winner! love maxi dresses, there is something so luxurious but unrushed about them in an easy but dressed up way.
ReplyDeleteLove the Stella blue one! it is gorge, the Gypsy 05 is so effortless!

ReplyDeletei love the last dress! gorgeous!
Congratulations to Jennifer :) I have always loved maxi dresses, a lot of my friends hate them, but I think they look perfect for summer. I love that Catherine Malandrino dress, it's simple but so beautiful. And wow, the print of that Tibi dress towards is the end is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteTOO short for this look... le sigh! Orrrr maybe if I was RAIL thin it would look alright... NEVER going to get taller... le sigh!
ReplyDeleteThat Foley dress is divine.
ReplyDeleteoh cc, I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Tbags one - perfect!
ReplyDeleteoooh i'm jealous but congrats to jennifer!
ReplyDeleteI love maxi dresses too, and that rainbow one at the end is too pretty. I bought a tie dyed blue and grey maxi dress and it is so comfortable and sexy to wear by the beach! Great blog entry. XoXo. Can't wait to wear my dress again now!
ReplyDeleteMay I have one of each of these, please? A maxi always manages to look elegant AND comfortable! Genius!
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered how much I love maxi dresses. they are so great, the only thing is I have to hem every one that i buy.
ReplyDeleteAs you can probably tell, LOVE maxi dresses, the first dress, by Stella McCartney, is my favourite, absolutely beautiful & elegant! :)
ReplyDeletexx
Aww Carrie these dresses are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Haven't gotten in touch in a while. :)
I love the T-bags dress most! Great selection u have here =]
ReplyDeleteI am way too self-conscious to wear the maxi dress. I'm short! But I do love the pink tube dress. Lovely degrade colors!
ReplyDeleteThose are all beautiful. Great photos. I hope your week has been a good one. The weekend is almost here.
ReplyDeleteI am loving that deep purple one
ReplyDeletei really dont know if i can pull off a maxi but even if i could they're all still to short and look really awkward on me because they're not long enough!!
ReplyDelete*sigh* those maxi dresses are sooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner!
ReplyDeleteAnd i love the maxi dresses that you posted carrie.. Makes me want to buy one ^o^
