Styling tips: A maxi dress

A good friend of ours asked us to help her with something. She has got this fabulous maxi dress from Topshop, and she loves it. But she never really gets to wear the dress. She has a kind of beach feeling wearing it, and a maxi dress seems difficult to team up with something else. We were so exciting about our first ´official´ styling mission and we thought to make a post out of it:) 

The target of the mission is a maxi dress from Topshop.


The agent is in her 20-s and lives in a city. 

Mission accomplished - Check!

The first set is more comfort and long walks on weekends. It is the everyday version of the set with elements of Western and makes the dress a bit more edgy.

(scarf - Gucci, ring - Juicy Couture, bag - DKNY, bracelet - Tinley Road Rose, Jean Jacket - H&M, sandals - Franco Satro)

 The second set is a little less about comfort but more about city and dates, and is more 70s inspired. 
(vest - Li Indiana Joe, bangs - Ralph Lauren, bracelet - Tinley Road Rose, bag - Mango, sunglasses - Linda Farrow, necklace - Hive & Honey)

Yeah, and before we forget: 3 biggest ´no-no´-s with a maxi dress, and it´s not even about height:)
- Do not wear it with a trench coat over or any other jacket that is about the length of the knees.
- Do not wear it with slim high heels (unless the occasion is a wedding or a prom)
- Do not wear it if it´s too long: have it rather shortened than risk falling down because of your own dress:)

We thought this was really fun. So, should you have something in your wardrobe that´s so fine and never worn, let us know, we will happily do some shopping research for you and post the results:)
