The Long and Short of It

I used to think you had to be built like Giselle in order to gracefully pull off a maxi dress. While I admit they're a bit tricky, you don't need to be 6' or stick skinny to make them work. Whether you choose to accessorize with a wide belt, a long necklace or some pretty sandals, they're an easy way to glide through warmer weather while looking chic and understated. Alice + Olivia -
