Fashion is one thing that is constantly changing.  There are tons of different styles and trends and something for everyone.  Because of such variety, it can be hard for people to find the style that they “fit into” at first.  

Do you like the punk statement, or the preppy, perhaps the flashback to the 80s trend that is super hot right now?  Whatever your preferences may be, there is always something out there.  

Some of the most current trends right now are the maxi dress, as I said before, the flashback to the 80s, and the ever so popular bohemian feel.

The maxi dress, this is one bandwagon I am happy to jump on.  Maxi dresses have been popping up in all types of stores for awhile now, and I am finally the proud owner of one of my own.  

I find that although there is such a variety of styles, fabrics, and patterns, it was very hard to find one that was figure flattering for me.  Being 5′5″ and 110 lbs, im short and pretty small, and i felt like i was drowning in most of the maxi dresses I tried on.  It was an absolute steal too, which of course just made me love it even more, at $49.00 from American Rag.  (Unfortunately I couldn’t get a picture to put up, sorry.)  

Another great thing about Maxi dresses: although they have some extra fabric, they really do vary in price and I even found some for $15 at Wet Seal.  They are also great for hiding problem areas, and fantastic as maternity dresses.  

Also, they are so easy to dress up or down, they are perfect for almost any and all occasions.  Add a pair of  strappy gladiator sandals and you’re ready to run errands or go to the beach.  Or, step  into  some wedges and add a pair of earrings to dress it up for a night out.  

As I said before there really is such a great variety in maxi dresses, not even just the print or color, but you can get other styles.  The tops of these dresses come in a wide variety from strapless, to halter, or spaghetti strap, each have its own personality.  

As a new fan of maxi dresses, and probably a fan for life, I am glad I have accepted this one trend.  Next time, I’ll look into the 80s flashback trend.
