One important key to making these dresses work for you is choosing the right fit and the right accessories and of course Kim and Vanessa  pull it off perfectly. The cute sandals, over-sized handbags,and chunky jewelry add a chic touch to the casual maxi dresses.

Jamie makes the tank maxi dress look stylish and comfortable.


Rihanna


Rihanna makes the maxi-dress look pop by pairing it with a pair of sneakers. Leave it to her to keep the look fresh and new.

But Rihanna's not the only one to pair the maxi-dress with sneakers and make it work. I must say Jennifer's cotton look dress works well with the Converse sneakers.

Say Yes to Style!!

A while back I talked about this awesome site (H & M)  I found, with all the latest styles at very affordable prices. One problem (for some of us) they have stores in a few locations and they are not in this country and do not ship to the U.S.A. Bummer! If you are one of the luck ones who can shop there check them out H & M


Their site is awesome and their prices are even better. If you are lucky enough to shop with them

Sign-up for their newsletter to keep up with their sales, things sell out quickly.
They have a really good sale going on. I found another really great site, prices are a little higher but they still have really nice clothes, at a reasonable price. They sell mostly Asian fashion, but they also carry handbags, beauty products and perfume. They also carry men's fashions.


Speaking of handbags they have an awesome and trendy collection.
