My biggest problem - what to wear on top. Unfortunately I don't wear my maxis as much as I should because I am always cold and seriously lacking in the cute topper department. Yes, I can wear my jean jacket. Yes, I can wear my shrunken navy blazer or a colorful cardi. But, I would like to step it up. I want to give my dresses a little more style and personality.
What I have found is that it might not be as hard as I thought...
Take a peek at my new favorite ensemble... this dress is from Zara. I absolutely love it, but it is a wee bit sheer (hence the $90 price tag).

It's perfect for a dinner or possibly a wedding, and I have the perfect jacket...

| A&F Libby Jacket |
Yes, this is from Abercrombie & Fitch. This is what happens when both your sister and sister-in-law work for the company. I have visited the store much more often lately... Anywho, this jacket is super cute and very lightweight.
I am also newly obsessed with this jacket from Zara. I do not own it, but I would like to... I love the shape of the jacket and the casual feel would be perfect to dress down a more formal maxi.

I would wear it with a voluminous maxi to give it more shape - just like this dress from J.Crew. Yards and yards of silk... the drape is amazing.

And speaking of structure, this coat from Club Monaco is gorgeous.

I would pair this with a long slim-fitting maxi. I love the idea of mixing this chic and sophisticated jacket with a boho tie-dye dress...

The only thing maxis don't go with... rain. Too bad it is pouring today.
