I do agree that fashion rules are meant to be broken, but with one exception–
every women should have at least one simple, elegant, go-with-everything LBD. And I consider this not a “rule”, but a “law”.

Dress: Prana

Bag: Fendi (great style here, similar here)

Scarf: Fendi  (nice pattern on sale here)

Shoes: Whistles (love this go-with-everything version)

As a “scarf collector”, I thought I was very good at scarf styling, but never thought of this way! What she did is actually very simple–knot in front of –here comes the unexpected part–a casual sundress.

I can’t think of a reason not to wear maxi dresses. Some petites friends may think maxi dress will swallow their figures. But trust me (I’m also a petite), by adding a belt to cinch the waist  and slipping on a pair of sky-high platform sandals or heeled booties, a maxi dress with lightweight material(which lets the dress fall softly over our body), sleek design (which won’t drew attention to our bottom half) and the right length (which almost graze the floor), you will look even more sexy and elegant than you are in your favorite minis.
