MOMMA NEEDS... maxi dresses for summer

Max under the maxi dress – love the versatility of this ALC dress

Long floor sweeping dresses can be appropriate for the most formal black tie event.

But they can also be comfortable enough to run around bare foot in the garden with my little prince.

Oh, and I bought this to wear to a wedding 1 month after Max was born while I was still breast feeding – I was 25lbs heavier – it looked great then, it looks great now and it would have looked great even at the height of my pregnancy (this is another great beauty of many maxi dresses)

There is truly nothing that feels (and looks) better on than great maxi dresses. They are simultaneously effortless and beautiful. Maxi dresses can be flowing with a bohemian feel or sexy and figure hugging but either way they are part of the perfect summer uniform. They can forgive an ezra few pound, show off a baby bump while still looking incredibly chic and elegant. Great maxi dresses are an essential part of every wardrobe – they are versatile, easy to wear and always a hit. No muss no fuss they are incredibly easy to throw on for chasing your little ones around town, running errands or going out for a night on the town. While these dresses can work for a beach holiday some are more appropriate for a black tie affair – maxi dresses have a natural elegance to them so incredibly versatile and desirable.
