10th Commandment: January 25

Jan 25, 2011

I usually don’t indulge in Spring attire until the days get longer, but I spotted this dress, and even I forgot that it isn’t March, yet.  

This dress might be the most perfect maxi dress ever.  It’s jersey, so it’s comfortable and casual.  But the cut is a bit more sophisticated than your average maxi dress.  This will be the perfect dress to wear on the airplane or to the office during recess. 

Endless Lengths Dress (Anthropologie, $138)

    I like that this is a maxi dress with sleeves. Spaghetti straps = ew.

    Oh gosh, I think this could age one drastically.

  3. Belle says:

    R-

    Only if you wear it with closed toed pumps and a cardigan. Instead, try to liven it up with stacked bangles, a metallic sandal and wavy hair.

    I saw this on anthro's site this week and fell in luuuuuuuuuuuuve. I would wear this from now until June…and probably beyond.

    Ok, this may seem like a ridiculous question, but can you get a maxi dressed hemmed, or does it look bad? I LOVE maxi dresses, but all of them seem to be insanely long and I'd love to be able to wear with flats!

  6. JL says:

    Maxi dresses, and this one in particular, remind me of those Texas FLDS folks:

    Is this a body type thing that maxi's look right on some people, but maybe not everyone?

    Belle,

    I'm 5'3″. Is it even possible for me to wear a maxi dress without it overwhelming me? If so, I could use some tips.

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
