Shop My Style: The Maxi Dress

I don’t know about you, but I love a good maxi dress. Let’s have a look at the reasons why:

1. They’re comfortable.
2. They hide all those pesky lumps and bumps that somehow seem to magically appear over the Christmas/New Year break.
3. They are surprisingly cool to wear on a hot Summer day.
4. You don’t have to shave your legs to wear one.
5. You can dress up a maxi dress with heels and statement jewellery, or keep it casual with flats and simple accessories.

Shop My Style: The Maxi Dress

I received this gorgeous Ruby Yaya Amalfi maxi dress from Brisbane boutique, House On Oxford last week. My heart skipped a beat when I unwrapped it, as it ticked ALL of the maxi dress boxes:

• a gorgeous print? tick!
• flattering v-neckline? tick!
• a split sleeve that provides just the right amount of arm coverage? tick!
• tassels? tick!
• pockets? tick!

I’m wearing a M (could’ve sized down to a S).

House On Oxford have limited sizes still available and it’s also available from birdsnest. Find it here.
