5 Maxi Dresses For Spring

September 4, 2012 in Fashion

Spring has finally sprung! And quite frankly, I couldn’t be happier. Spring means the days are starting to get longer and warmer…which seems to improve the mood of many of us!

As you’ve seen from our previous Spring themed posts, we’ve found quite a few ways to bring plenty of colour into our wardrobe.

Today, let’s talk maxi dresses!

The maxi dress is a fabulously versatile item of clothing. It works in a casual setting – think BBQs, picnics or a trip to the shops – with jewelled sandals or your favourite Havi’s and a pair of aviator sunnies. It also works for a more dressy setting – think drinks and dinner – simply by slipping on a pair of heels, some stacked bangles and chandelier earrings.

Here are five marvellous maxi dresses to get you started…

1. ASOS Maxi Dress ($89.46)

This navy chiffon maxi dress with its a scoop neckline, cinched waist and double layered skirt is a stylish and sophisticated take on the maxi. Definitely one that can be dressed up for a special occasion.

 2. Forever New ‘Amelia’ Maxi Dress ($199.99)

The gorgeous print and fabric of this dress makes it perfect for balmy evenings out with a champagne in hand. Accessorise with gold jewellery and you’ve got yourself one glamorous outfit.

3. Betty Basics ‘Monaco’ Maxi Dress from SurfStitch ($32.95)

Now this is a great “throw it on and go” dress and an easy way to make casual look cute. Accessorise with your favourite sunglasses, a pair of earrings and throw your hair into a top knot. Beach to bar in no time!

4. ModCloth ‘The Local Muse’ Maxi Dress ($199.99)

We are in love with the colour turquoise here at Shop Me Chic (obviously!) and one of my dear friends is planning on wearing a dress almost identical to this one to my wedding next year. I happen to think it’s a perfect choice!

5. French Connection ‘London Rock’ Maxi Dress ($199.95)

I love the yellow on this dress – so bright and happy and summery. The pleating and sheer fabric of the skirt add interesting details to this sassy little striped number.

Are you a maxi dress fan? How do you like to wear yours?

Stay Chic,

Answer Me Chic: Trench Coat, Not Lab Coat

April 10, 2012 in Fashion

We put the call out to our lovely Twitter followers to solve any fashion challenge they might have and Katie of Mumma On The Run quickly replied:

“I have a white trench coat which I have no idea how to wear without looking like I work in a lab!! Help!!”

Once we said that we could help, Jaclyn then chimed in with a similar sentiment:

“Yes please! I also have a white trench that has been sitting in my wardrobe for 2+ years and has been worn once.”

OK girls, time to pull out those white trench coats cos here are three ways to look super chic and not super geek…

Michael Kors Trench from Amazon – $110.00

Outfit 1: Weekend Casual

This outfit is perfect for the weekend, when you are grabbing a much needed coffee, catching up for brunch with a fabulous friend or giving your little one ”just one more push” on the swings.

1. Cheap Monday Sunglasses from The Iconic – $50.00

2. Ivys Knit Scarf from Birdsnest – $20.95 (on sale)

3. Betty Basics Top from Birdsnest – $22.95

4. Billie Shoes ‘Poppy’ from SurfStitch – $29.95

5. Jag Mid Rise Boot Jean – $99.95

Outfit 2: Date Night

Time to glam up that trench with a knock out date night look. Keep it all black with accents of metallic to really take it to another level. The beauty of this outfit is that the dress can be worn with or without the skinny pants (weather and spray tan dependant). Va-va-voom!!


 1. Princess Polly ‘Miss You’ Dress – $70.00

2. Mimco ‘Reverie Armour’ Necklace – $249.00

3. Colette ‘Stud Front’ Clutch – $49.50

4. ASOS ‘Pluto’ Heel – $97.32

5. ASOS Leather Look Skinny Pant – $48.66

Outfit 3: Corporate Chic

Finally,  we’ve got a great look for the office. Tailored pants and pussy bow blouse go together perfectly just like you and your Monday morning coffee. Add a ladylike suede heel and a fab bag, and you mean business lady!!

1. Forever New ‘Adelaide’ Blouse – $59.99

2. Wittner ‘Jagged’ Heels – $129.95

3. Witchery ‘Sateen’ Full Length Pant – $129.95

4. Mezi ‘Kelly’ Stud Earrings – $79.00

5. Kate Hill ‘Rikki’ Leather Tote Bag – $99.95 (on sale)

So there you have it ladies, three different looks that all work back with a white trench coat.

I hope your coats will be making an appearance soon – and be sure to tweet us a photo!!
