I originally had a fear of maxi dresses, midi dresses, A-line dresses...Let's start over; I had a lot of fashion fears. This blog pushes me to try new things; walk outside of my comfort zone. As easy as jeans and a tee are, I want to keep my readers inspired and encourage you to do the same.

When maxi skirts and dresses first came out, I didn't dare go near them. I kept imagining myself being swallowed alive by the fabric, tripping all over myself, and swearing like a sailor all the way down to the ground.
I cringe at the thought.

One day, while browsing through my daily fashion blog reel, someone posted an outfit of herself in a maxi dress. She looked like a modern day Grecian goddess who looked right at home between towering skyscrapers and over-sized sunglasses. I attributed this to her height. I thought "anything looks good on a girl who is 6 feet tall whose legs go on for miles." Not long after, maxi skirts started popping up all over, and they looked good on everyone!

I figured let me buy an inexpensive maxi dress, and experiment with it. If it worked out, then yay for me! If it didn't, then I wouldn't be too put out. Not only did I luck out with a beautiful burnt orange, the dress also came with adjustable straps so I could get away with flats some days.

Although maxis are associated with sunny beaches and palm trees, they are just as season appropriate on Jersey's coldest winter days. Just throw a chunky knit sweater or turtleneck as I did, and some ankle boots with thick knit socks, and you're ready to take on this 'winter wonderland' ;)
