Maximizing the Maxi

Despite the everlasting wet curbs of Winter in NYC, maxi-dresses (cleverly disguised for the cold!) are everywhere. This little blurb from Glamour shows ever-tanned Cali chicks wearing them bare in the daytime for a one-piece casual look. Please note: as Paris Hilton is demonstrating, wearing a white babydoll maxi will not negate your skank factor. CHOOSE WISELY, ladies!

(And can anyone tell us who the two chicks on the right are??)

But what do you do when it's 20 degrees (11 with windchill!) and those long, strappy dresses are beckoning? Megan found this sweet article in Lucky magazine (our favorite!).

Start with a turtleneck, add a long straight dress, and add a blazer (or a cardigan, for less meek more chic). Exaggerated jewelry, simple hair, and your favorite boots- and you're ready to rock that maxi through the cold, hard, NYC winter.

That's a Wrap (Sweater)

It's hot. It's REALLY hot. Even the thought of wearing much more than a shift dress and flip-flops is uncomfortable. Which, of course, makes the realization that Fall is just around the corner so much more difficult.

I don't know about you all, but come September I'm freezing in the mornings and sweating by early afternoon. The easy fix? A light stowable cardigan.

We're going to have to agree with Lucky Magazine here: a super-soft, super-thin long wrap cardi is the way to go. No buttons mean no fuss, and the extra fabric makes them perfect to throw on and schmo around in.



And furthermore, we heartily approve of their top two choices in sweaters (which you can, of course, find at tee-zone.com)! The first is Velvet's chic little Ruffle Wrap Sweater, a nice twist on the basic wrap cardi and best for grabbing to go out. The second is C&C California's easy Agnes Cardigan, with a contrast ribbed back that makes it even more comfy cool.
