Im wearing a maxi. Yes my mini loving friends, I Short-skirt McGee is wearing a full length dress. I don't do maxi, I dont think I've ever worn something full length! I'm short and I think alot of times unless a maxi is proportioned right it can really drown people like me. Last year I avoided them at all costs, not even considering getting one. However a woman came into New Look the other day wearing this and I knew I had to get my paws on it. I even asked her where she got it from and I NEVER ask stuff like that even when I really want something.
Its a tad ~rocker~ish paired with the leathers and the cross necklace which I think its a little well... passé. Oh well its post-ironic to be a hipster right, so that makes me cool and but not too cool? Hahah! I dunno what I'm even on about anymore!
Oh wow! It looks amazing on you, you should wear maxi dresses more often! I never have before, but I have one but I have not been brave enough to wear it yet!
ReplyDeleteLooks wicked, it's not in-your-face animal print if you know what I mean... that's why I like it!
ReplyDeletePretty lip colour too :-)

I never wear maxi dresses as I feel I'm too tall for them! I love this one though and it looks seriously amazing teamed with the leather jacket.

I've always steered clear of longer lengths as well, but it really suits you x
ReplyDeleteyou and your leopard print! this looks bangin' though x
ReplyDeleteYou wearing stilts or somethin'? You look a crazy kind of tall!! =)
ReplyDeleteI love that maxi! Looks so good. How tall are you? x
ReplyDeleteJust a Thought
I love H&M maxi dresses so much that I never seem to get round to choosing one because I love them all! You look lovely, and definitely shouldn't be worried about being swamped! :)
ReplyDeleteR - hello scrapbook
You've totally inspired me to wear a maxi now! I never ever wear anything that long either, but I love the way you're rocking it! I'm teeny tiny so I can never get one short enough but I actually got one from Generation and hoping it won't make me look stupid!
ReplyDeletexoxo
you look perfect!

That dress is lovely!! I am too short for maxi dresses too but I might just try one on now.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great outfit! I love the turquoise with it.
ReplyDeleteI like you better in minis, but fashion is fun, why shouldn't you wear that dress if you like it?
ReplyDeleteSuch a feisty and edgy look! And you look so pretty in it. Love the entire outfit, hun!

I know what you mean about maxi's "drowing" people, I'm a little under 5ft2 and anything below my knee makes me look like one of the seven dwarves! This really suits you though, love it! xxx
ReplyDeleteloveee it! xoxo

love your jacket !
ReplyDeleteI can relate to how you feel, I'm also short and didn't take a chance with the maxis last summmer, this year I was planning on doing the same, but seeing how nice it looks on you, and by no means does it make you look short, I actually want to try it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think it looks great with the leather jacket
You look GORGEOUS! I want to try a simple maxi dress this year as last year I went for crazy pattern haha...this suits you though!! :) xx
ReplyDeleteps: love the title

ReplyDeleteIt looks fab! I love the splash of turquoise throughout the outfit, very cool!x
ReplyDeletehttp://adressadaykeepsthedoctoraway.blogspot.com/
Love this dress. I have it in the lighter leopard print and have to wear a belt with it so that I don't trip on the hem! I'm definitely going to try to wear more maxis this summer...love how you've styled yours. x
ReplyDeletethis is my favourite of yours lily! the dress really suits you and the leather jacket just tops it all off! love it!
ReplyDeleteomggg I love this on you! xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteToo much love for this look! Hope my local H&M gets this dress in, it's lush!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you next week (providing I get my work done!)
xx
LOOKS HOT. I have a maxi skirt but I'm still scared to wear it :S!!!!!!!!! It may be a bit ott for 6th form? Orrr it may be me making excuses :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove this look! Posted one recently which is almost the same actually, haha! xx
ReplyDeleteOMG I SEEN ONE OF THESE IN THE CALVIN KLEIN S/S 11' TODAY AND WAS THINKING HOUT MY 5'4" ISH SELF WOULD LOVVVVE TO HAVE ONE!
ReplyDeleteI NEED ONE IN AMERICA!!!
LOVE IT YOU LOOK GREAT! 8)
OMG i wont lie to you, you usually wear similar stuff a lot and this just surprised me i love it you look great really like the combo jacket and the maxi x
ReplyDeletehttp://lolitasfashionideas.blogspot.com
I stay away from full length dresses for the same height reasons, but sometimes I think if a dress looks amazing noone is going to care about your height!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great with the jacket and accessories.
It honestly really suits you, it's as if you've gained 5 inches overnight! I normally avoid longer lengths too for the same reason as you and many of the other commentators here [love how we're all in the same boat, it's so cool] but for SS11 with all the cool prints etc my outlook has magically changed. I think there's a maxi for everyone, you just gotta find the right one - congrats for finding yours.
ReplyDeleteAmy xx
I think I'm too short for maxi dresses but this is fab!
ReplyDeleteLove this look on you Lily. xx
ReplyDeletereally like your blog :)
ReplyDeleteand i LOVE the song from your title. <3
perrrrfect outfit! love the dress & jacket. u r adorable!
ReplyDeletemaxi dress is amazing, i think i have a very similar body to yours (just im a tad chubbier LOL) and you pull this maxi off wonderfully, what shoes would you wear with it though? your staple loafers? or heels?
ReplyDeletedeffo going to H&M to try this on!

ReplyDeleteThis has to be one of my favourite outfits from you so far! Rocking! xx :o)
ReplyDeletewaw, the best outfit ever!!! love leopard print and maxi dress combination :)
ReplyDeleteI love this look on you! You should definitely wear maxis more often, it makes you look a lot taller!

Honey you're totally cool!Love the combination leather-animalier!You combined the accessories in a wonderful way!I think that full length can also be adopted by not so tall girls,you just have to find the right thing!:)

The postal service- very nice :) Maxi dress really suits you x
ReplyDeleteThat dress is lush, I love it! I still a little bit scared and haven't bought myself a maxi dress yet but I keep seeing outfit posts with them and it's making me really want one!
ReplyDeletejust recieved some of your rings in the post today and i wanted to say a quick thank you! theyre lovely and ill definitley be spreading the word and ordering some more when my next pay day arrives! haha xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks great on you. Nice to see how you put together outfits out of your comfort zone! And you still always look great :) x
ReplyDeleteYou've probably been asked a millllllllllllllion times, but are you getting in the large precious stone rings? They're gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very petite so if I did get a maxi I'd pair it with my doc marten heel boots!
gorgeous maxi, it's a nice change?
ReplyDeletecan I ask how tall you are? :)
<3
I LOVE this outfit Lily! You've styled the dress perfectly! I've been thinking about getting a maxi for a while but I just know I'll feel awkward in it because I've never worn anything full length before. xx
ReplyDeletei love H&M dress
ReplyDeletehttp://yingsaranporn.blogspot.com/
hey, love your style you're brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of you on lookbook so thought I'd check out the blog too :)
very inspiring xx
Well it looks great on you! I avoided maxis for ages too, but then I did a complete 180 and black maxi dresses and skirts were my staple last winter. I've been avoiding trying on that dress in H&M for ages cause I own way too much leopard print already, but I think I'm going to have to get it now. Damn you! *fist shake*
ReplyDeleteLooovely, you've got such a great eye for colour, textures and pattern:)
ReplyDeletesooooo pretty! that dress works so well on ya!! and the combination is amazing! just perfect! saved in the inspiration folder!!
ReplyDeleteAt five feet tall I avoid full lengths at all costs too! However, you look so fantastic..I'm considering dabbling with the trend. Hmmm...
ReplyDeletelove love love the way you set up your new layout! :)
ReplyDeletei love the dress! i could never pull off something like that!!
ReplyDeletealso i really love the new blog layout :) a subtle change, yet effective aha
xx
Love this dress, its a gorgeous pattern! I'm a tad petite and have always been wary of drowning in maxi dresses. might give one a go now though :)
ReplyDeletep.s. love the new layout x x

ReplyDeleteI love this on you! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://commonsenseandstilettos.blogspot.com/
Oh Lily, just when I think your outfits cant get any better you whip this one outta the bag! This looks absolutely amazing on you :)
ReplyDeletexxx
I have one maxi dress but it's one of those things I like but don't love... it's got sequins on bits and I've only worn it to one drinks party. I'd be tempted by a more casual one now though...
ReplyDeletepreferred the old layout, this looks cheaper somehow x
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing on you! Being a shortie too I only own one maxi and fear it drowns me at times.. x
ReplyDeleteI love this dress :)
