MAXI MAXI MAXI




isn't fashion funny eh?

1960s- only miniskirts would suffice.
1970s- female liberation, flowing maxi dresses
1990s-  the mini is back. the denim-er the better.
2010- the maxi is back.

AND BY BACK, I MEAN BETTER AND LONGER THAN EVER. THE CATWALK WENT WILD FOR LENGTH, AND WHERE DESIGNERS LEAD- SHOPS, MODELS AND FASHIONISTAS FOLLOW.  

AND WHO WOULDN'T, WITH BENEFITS SUCH AS THESE:
-kiss goodbye to that gym membership- lumps and bumps are finally cloaked. 

-tired of that hilarious 'irish legs' pet name? finally flee the sarcasm -underneath your billowing gown could be a golden goddess. could be.-say goodbye to shaving, the maxi embraces fur.

-worried about your sandal clash? or not quite on top of your pedi appointments?  thank goodness for floor-length.

-too short to pull it off? duhh, high waist+long length= illusional inches. and anyway, get one long enough and you can sneak your 7" espadrilles underneath.
-banishing body-con means finally you can opt for that lunchtime pizza. screw salad. 
ONLY PROBLEM, THE UNDERWEAR ISSUE. LOOKS LIKE IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE FEMALE LIBERATION AND UNDERTAKE THE COMMANDO. sexy.



THERE'S SO MANY AROUND- SOME CONSIDERABLY NICER THAN OTHERS, AND SOME, JUST A LITTLE TOO NICE. NEED TO CIPHER MY WAY THROUGH THIS LOT AND DECIDE WHICH NEEDS BUYING. MY TIP- LESS IS MORE, IN TERMS OF PATTERN AND PRINT AND DARK IS ALWAYS AND DEINFATELY BEST (in terms of both style and, ahem, your modesty.) 


















ANY OF THESE PLEASE, WITH SIMPLE ACCESSORIES- GOLD CHAIN AND HEAVY RING. OOH, AND MAYBE A HAT.
SO YOU'RE ON BOARD RIGHT, WOULD YOU GO AS FAR AS CALLING YOURSELF A MAXI-NISTA? 
gosh, i need to get shopping.
