Fashion Forming-To the Max

Emma Roberts at Elizabeth and James textile launch in L.A. via style.com

The maxi dress is back in full force. Sure, the floor-sweeping length has left a lasting impression on the red carpet. But now, the flowing cascade of fabric is gracing the daily grind! Whether your legs are as lengthy as a super model's, or lead you to refer to yourself as "vertically challenged", the maxi dress adds just enough bohemian aura to keep you looking cool as a cucumber. What I love about Emma's look is how the print is subtle, but far from boring, and the belt reminds you that her waist exists beneath the perfectly fitted denim jacket. It's effortless, and ideal for any closet for day-to-night; think of hitting up your favorite museum, jetting off to grab some tea, and ending your evening with a picnic and concert in the park. Yes, perfect summer night, and definitely perfect outfit for such.
