I love how the Maxi dresses make the look sophisti-cute! It can go classy to casual in a snap! You just have to put the right accessories in according to your desired outcome.
Some Tips in wearing Maxi dresses:
1. Never pair flats with this floor-length dresses!
2. Be sure to pick the right cut and prints for your own style.
3. Be creative on wearing accessories! Necklaces, scarfs, bags, or earnings will compliment your dress.
4. If you have a curvy figure, stick to flowy and a-line maxi dresses.
5. If you're more of a model-esque type, form fitting dresses are perfect for you!
6. Always choose the one that will make you feel comfortable and speaks out your personality.

As for Nina, she went to a more elegant look because of her plain-colored maxi dress by adding a cute scarf and sky-high wedges! P.S. Her soft curls complete the look! :)

Some of Nina's favorites from Goddiva:
"The black haltered floral dress is one of my favorites because it is elegant, very feminine and since it is “haltered”, it is much more comfortable to wear than the tube maxi dresses. The second one is the peach playful patterned dress, I could wear it in casual days and it compliments my skin color.

Some of my favorite pieces from Goddiva:
"I love this blue evening maxi dress because it looks very glamorous and you can use it on formal parties and events. The front split and asymmetrical detail makes it look so lovely yet sexy! The color-block dress is uber sexy and is perfect for the beach or day parties! The black dress, however, is a major head-turner because of it's stunning minimalism quality. " -Char
Who says maxis are old fashioned?

Pros:

-Very flowy and comfy to wear
- Every girl needs to look and feel like a woman. :)
Cons:
- Can trip you if you pair it with flats
- Can sweep up all the dusts on the floor (LOL!)
- Catches attention! Wait? Is that even a disadvantage?! :))

Ooh, thanks Char for the tip! :) hihi, i better buy a tall sandals now. :) i love 'em! thanks so much! btw, I linked you up on my site ha, :) tc!

@Ayel, you better! It's a basic girl necessity to have atleast one pair of heels! LOL! :) Thaaank you and I'll link you up too :)
@Bebe, A lot of girls have been asking us if Maxis would look good on short people.. Well, we're just as short too! But we managed to rock it like we're 5'7"! :) It's all about the right cut, right fit, right style and right attitude! :) Go girl! You can work it out! :D
I love pairing maxi dresses with heels, especially if it really goes with the dress! :)
but, I tried wearing flats (not ballet flats) with a maxi dress, and it went pretty well. I didn't trip or anything, and I'm short too... I think it really just depends on the style of the dress. :)
I love the leopard dress though, it looks so fierce together with the leather jacket! :D
and great advice! I guess there will be a major dress and sandals shopping happening soon!
@phyllz If it goes well then that's great! :) It depends on how you carry the whole ensemble as well.. I bet you rocked it! :) Hope we could see how you styled your maxi.
