Be Inspired: Full Length Coats Over Maxis

Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Those of you who are my regular readers must know by now that I am simply c-ray-zay about wearing maxis over maxis (e.g. maxi cardi over maxi dress).

I just saw a photo of Codie Young in magazine featuring a shoot for Rodarte, and guess what? It was a maxi coat over a maxi dress... So what do I do? I google her and the Rodarte style. Mmmmm mmmm! I found some gorgeous inspirations for this look... modest yet trendy... well, more pretty than trendy! I prefer pretty to trendy since trends don't last. :)

Soooo, if it's cold out where you are (as it is here down under in the land of Oz), you too can rock the same look with minimal effort. :)


This was the image that got me started...


I love this...

I am so loving this...

and this...


How very feminine, pretty, elegant, lady-like... modest... I absolutely love this look.

So okay, now I need a full length coat! Looks better than a maxi cardi LOL
