Maxi or Mini?

Frances Valentine

 

I think it's really fun seeing this dress in both a mini and maxi version. I love both lengths here in Florida, although I am tending to wear maxis more because I have so embraced caftans. Do you tend to wear short or long dresses or both?

They just got the caftan in this medium blue that I absolutely love.

This great dress also comes in a mini and maxi version.

Lots of women who are petite think they can't wear maxi's - to the contrary, it gives a long line that is quite flattering. And for me the trick with mini's is to choose ones that are a little looser in the body and a bit more covered up in the sleeves and neckline to stay elegant.

I also have a necklace to share. With statement dresses like these lots of people pass on a necklace. I personally love the look of adding a bold statement necklace like this one. And the price is great.

  2. There's another collaboration with Bella Bliss this year and some adorable Mommy and Me Frances Valentine choices. Even a few things for boys. They have the best sales too! One of my favorite sources for children's clothing.

    1. I love FV. I grabbed more caftans on their last big sale.

  3. I absolutely want to start wearing caftans and putting my hair in a turban - so very 40's! Unfortunately, the weather in Seattle somehow just doesn't lend itself to that style - I think I have to wait till I move to a warmer clime...

    1. It would hide your hair - I've always thought my hair would be a mess all the time with all the rainy weather.
