Thursday Trend: Daytime Maxi Dress

| Fashion and Style, presents, Rent the Runway, Thursday Trend, Washington D.C.

Spring has sprung!  Yesterday it was in the mid seventies in New York and I am so excited the warm weather has actually arrived!  I almost wore this beautiful snake print maxi dress today to celebrate the warm weather but then remembered it is not exactly an office dress.  However, I absolutely love this gorgeous floor length sheath and am going to have to find a place to wear it VERY soon.

This dress is a recent addition to my closet – my good friend Liz gave it to me as a belated birthday and Christmas present when I went to visit her in Washington, D.C. for Easter, see more photos from that trip here.   Yes, it is a few months delayed but I am so glad she waited because this dress, from a boutique in Southern California, fits like a glove and is absolutely my style!

This maxi dress honestly makes me happy and over the course of the past two weeks I have been searching for a more work appropriate dress (this is how I am rationalizing the purchase).   I am majorly crushing on these four TWELFTH STREET BY CYNTHIA VINCENT maxi dresses from Rent the Runway but I really can not justify spending over $400 on one, even if it is adorable printed silk. These are my four favorites:

 

Rent the Runway Maxi Dresses for Daytime

 

While these Cynthia Vincent dresses are absolutely gorgeous my search for a more reasonable, but equally as cute option has turned up some really amazing options.  It was really hard to pick which ones   to share with all of you, but I have narrowed it down to these five all of which are under $100!

    I love a great maxidress. Took me a long time before I bought one (as I’m quite petite), but they are so comfy and effortlessly stylish, I own three at the moment (no prints yet). Love the gorgeous blue with the tropical print on the bottom 🙂

    I was just looking online for some new maxis! I live in Hawaii, land of maxi dresses and I only own one. So not okay. I love all your picks! Soooo cute!

    I love maxi dresses! I’m very picky about the ones I will buy, though, because some (the strapless ones, in particular) look really weird on me. I have two…both from Old Navy. The one I just got is a jersey material, and it’s SUPER comfy. I wore it to work with a cropped cardi (also from ON) on Tuesday. It was glorious! 🙂

    I love them. I only have one and it’s too bright and fancy to wear often. It is my mission to buy some for this summer. They are so easy to live in!

    I loooove maxi dresses. I used to hate them but since I found a few that flatter me, I’m all over them. For work, top them with a fun cardigan of cropped denim jacket or shirt.

    You’re so pretty!! I love the look of maxi’s but they’re one of those items I definitely need to try on in the store…sometimes they fall so weird on me! I love the floral and tie-dye versions you chose.

    You look fab in the maxi!! They are so versatile and can totally be work appropriate. I love the purple maxi you chose so gorgeous!!

    I barely ever wear maxi dresses, I feel like they take away my waist. I love yours on you though, out of these I really like the tribal one and I have a similar one to it. xx
