Spring Must-Have: Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses are a must-have this season.  If you're shorter, pick one that is not as full so you don't drown in it.  Pair it with cute flip flops or the new simpler gladiator sandals.  Choose a maxi dress in a print and kill two trends with one purchase.

Ooh I have a maxi dress that I love to death but I am having so much trouble figuring out what kind of purse and shoes to pair it with!

The best shoes to wear with maxi dresses are flats, a nice leather sandal whether it's a fun flip flop or a gladiator type sandal will be a great fit. Try something like this one:

Or some summery wedges would be fab. As far as a bag, there are many options that would work but an oversize clutch would be great with the maxi dress as well as stylishly up to date.
