  3. I like the way you dressed this maxi up. I have the same one in a solid teal, and you're right, it's like pajamas. I love it and wear it all summer. I should try taking a tip and dressing it up.

  4. I love this look. I struggled with my styling but you look effortless:) I thought about wearing my jean jacket but didn't want it to look boxy. I love the fun bright belt idea!

    Sincerely,

  7. I love the yellow belt you added over the jacket, it takes away from the boxiness. The striped print on the maxi is stands out among the sea of solid colored maxis on the EBEW site, and yes, the most wonderful thing about maxis is that they're pajamas we can get away with in public!

  10. I don't have any maxi dresses/skirts, though I'm a tall girl and "could" get away with it, but I don't know how to style them :( . You really did a great job, it looks interesting, stylish, feminine. I'm gonna check out the rest of ebew! Have a happy Tuesday! :)

  14. I keep thinking I need to get a denim jacket for spring and seeing this has confirmed the idea - they go with just about everything, I think! The yellow belt really pulls the outfit together :)

  17. I almost bought this dress! I couldn't decide if I liked it on me or not so I decided to leave it behind. It was one of those kinds of days, ya know? :)

    Love the little dash of yellow!

  19. I love your maxi look! And I agree--wearing my maxi dress was the most comfortable I've been (in public) in a while!

  20. This looks awesome on you, Dotty! I love the way you've combined traditionally "hard to wear" pieces (the boxy jacket, the striped maxi) into such a chic, modern look.

  30. I'm really digging the stripes here. They're so cozy but also really chic, I think. And I really like the proportions of the long dress paired with the shorter jean jacket. So cute!
