God Bless The Maxi Dress and All Its Disciples

It's hot outside - yes I know. Just imagine for me, if you will. You are looking forward to enjoying the sun. But wait! You've remembered that we do in actual fact live in the UK. A country so renowned for it's unpredictable weather, many a comedian 'wittily' uses this fact as comic fodder. So with the possibility of sun, rain, wind, fog and hail stones and in the one day (trust me, it has been known) what do you wear? To that I cry, the maxi dress!

Always on the trend menu for a summer day to night look, the maxi is my new go to outfit when weather can be an issue. From plain to patterned, spaghetti to strapless, jersey to silk and indeed Edinburgh to Cannes, the maxi will take you from plain summer wear to bang-on-trend. Should the weather take a turn for the worse, simply add another layer (and yet another, most likely) and carry on looking fabulous.

H&M do some lovely maxi dresses for penny pinching prices. I myself have partaken in more than a few. A few being at least six. Uh hem. So next time you are standing in your pants in front of your wardrobe screaming profanities, heed to my words of wisdom.
