The Max(i) Factor

Via Inslee

The maxi continues to be Summer's "go to" dress.  I can see why. It's effortlessly chic. Just throw it on and go. The fabrics are lightweight and loose. Even with their length, a maxi is often so much cooler than a pant. I think most of us enjoy feeling a bit Bohemian and free spirited in the warmer months. The maxi is just fun, and appears to never go out of style. Isn't it time to update your collection? 

HERE: 15 Marvelous Maxi's

BB Dakota 'Deklyn' Maxi Dress
Let the sunshine in with this bright and bold dress. Important to know that it is under $100 and up to $20 less than other stores are selling it for. It pays to shop around!
Nordstrom

Chloe Silk Voile Maxi
As seen on the runways, this is how I like a maxi best. Love the flowing fabric worn with flat sandals. Now reduced by 30%.
Matches Fashion

Strapless Sequin Maxi 
This sale style is poolside perfect.
Boston Proper

Ralph Lauren Collection
The Polka Dot silk Clarissa dress is both charming and chic. It's pricey but a great bargain as it has been reduced by over $1,000.
Ralph Lauren

The Slimming Maxi Dress
This dress had me at "slimming." I also loved the solid sophisticated colors and the addition of the optional sash, which gives an optical illusion.
Soft Surroundings

Alice + Olivia Yulisa Maxi
I just love this dress and its' sunset colors.
Alice + Olivia

Mara Hoffman
This may be my favorite of the entire edit. The colors are soft but sensational. The back of the dress is even better than the front. This sporty but sophisticated number also features pockets. That's fun!
Zappos

Michael Stars Gauze Maxi

I would live in these dresses. As a matter of fact, I think I need both them. It is very hard to find a long sleeve maxi, to boot.  I would wear it as a swim coverup, lounging in the house, and on the patio!
