To the MAX[i]!

If you've known me for a while, you'll know that I love all things fashion and have always been a follower of new trends. When the maxis first came out, I was instantly a fan, I wanted to try my hands on them despite my pint-sized frame... They say, maxis aren't made for petites coz it makes you look even shorter, but who are 'they' anyway? Being a fashion rebel, I'm all about breaking style rules. If I really like/love/want something, I make it work for me and wear them no matter what people say... Just like what I do with most styles or new trends... I will wear what I want and no one can stop me! ...well, hubby can =)

And since it seemed like spring is short-lived and summer's upon us I had to bid adieu to my skinnies and leggings for now because my thighs can't breathe! Which is all good, I prefer wearing dresses on long hot summer days anyway...

Last year's summer proved to be a year of maxi dresses, i bought a few pieces and the year  before last I purchased a couple of maxi skirts which I pretty much rocked everyday... Well not really everyday, but hey, I'd actually would if I could... They're so comfy and breezy it felt like wearing PJ's all day without looking like you just woke up! Win-win right?

Here's a recap of the maxis i wore all of last year --- for the love of MAXI!

B&W


This is my outfit last Sunday 05.01.11 when hubby and I had a rare chance to go out by ourselves -- it is some sort of our 'anniversary date'... And yeah, I went [kinda'] all-out for my man wearing short-shorts! [I knew he love my legs!] 
It is now too hot to wear jeans or leggings.

This outfit was not planned, i just threw it all together and liked the outcome, I'm not sure about the sandals though, I should've worn this wedge for added color and visual interest to a somewhat plain black and white combo but since I knew there'd be lots of walking involved, i decided to go with comfort...


The white lace top is thrifted -- only P65.00 or $1.50... SCORE!
