Fatshion Faceoff - Maxi Dress

This week it was my turn to choose the item, and I went for a maxi dress, my reason for this is I love them, but never know how to style them, and I am hoping the other fabulous ladies can show me how to look awesome in them!

I know as a very short person that I shouldn't wear them, but hey, rules are made to be broken right?

The dress I am wearing is from M&Co a couple of years ago now, but I loved the animal print and the bold colours of it, but I have only ever worn it twice as I am so unsure what to wear it with.

I tried to show how I have worn it during the day before and how I have worn it out for a party.



This picture was just for you guys :)

I decided to team my zebra print bracelet from Funk and Finery with it to keep the animal print.
The shoes are from Tescos last year and the cardi is TKMaxx

I don't feel like this is the most exciting outfit in the world but I do love maxi dresses, I think I just need to find my confidence with them, I plan on finding the perfect pair of sandals to team them with in the sunshine. 

Do you have your perfect maxi dress, what does it look like? feel free to post it to me on twitter, any help is appreciated.

Don't forget to head over and check out all the other lovely ladies in there fabulous maxi creations.

    I love a good maxi dress, and love the skirt of this one. I think rules are made to be broken- you were wise to ignore the maxi rule because it looks good on you! I usually team mine with a pair of gladiator sandals, a cropped cardigan to cover up my arms and a colourful bracelet or necklace. I posted one on my blog a week or so ago, and sure i will be wearing them a lot when the weather gets warmer!

      Cropped cardis are something I desperately need, I alway used to get longer ones to hide myself, haven't really updated them yet, I will be. X x

    I love how colorful the dress is! I think you did a great job styling it. I really like the look with the denim jacket; I think it would also look great with a cropped denim vest or cardigan for warmer weather. ;D

      Thank you Molly, I love it with the denim jacket too, on the look out for a shorter cardi to wear with it, I rarely go out with bare arms in the summer, mainly because I burn so badly in the sun. xx

      I feel so silly in front of the camera that I usually end up pulling silly faces to calm myself down, this is one of those moments :) xx

    That is an amazing dress! Gorgeous vibrant colors, and I love the animal print. ;) You shouldn't be afraid to wear a maxi dress, you look great in this! And pairing it with a denim jacket was a really good idea that I will HAVE to try myself. :)
