It’s finally (almost) the weekend, woohoo! And not just any weekend, it’s the weekend before a much needed long weekend! This week in Ohio has been an interesting one. I was planning on writing this post on Wednesday night but the power went out at our hotel from about 9PM to midnight so I ended up going to sleep early since there was nothing to do. I was sad to miss the American Idol finale and then kind of sad to find out the result afterwards (I’m a Lauren fan) especially since I voted incessantly for Lauren too! Who were you rooting for? But at least Hines won for Dancing With The Stars so at least that made me happy! 🙂
For this week’s Flavors To Follow… I wanted to share my latest obsession of maxi dresses. They are just the perfect summer outfit, matched with a chunky necklace, sandals and a fedora hat. That just spells perfection, doesn’t it?
1 Smocked Strapless Maxi from Threadsence
2 Sandbar Sunrise Dress from ModCloth
3 Smocked Waist Maxi Dress from Yesstyle
4 Amare La Vita Paisley Maxi Dress from Shop Ruche
5 Floral Maxi Dress from Yesstyle
6 Eden Maxi Dress with Belt from Forever 21
7 Gorgeous at Game Time Dress from ModCloth
8 Windswept Wonder Dress from ModCloth
*SWOON* Can I please just buy them all or can someone buy them for me? *wink wink* What do you think? Are you obsessed with maxi dresses like I am or are you not really a fan?

What are your Memorial weekend plans?
I never used to like maxi dresses but I’m becoming a fast fan. They seem to be one of the best things to wear in spring/summer. And they have a certain elegance even when it’s casual.
Ohh! Gorgeous picks! I am especially loving #7! 🙂
I LOVE maxi dresses! I’m short so they’ve been so hard to fit right :/ it’s my mission this summer to find one that works with my height!! I love #3 the best!!
#3 looks super cute! Makes me want to shop 🙁
For memorial weekend I’m going to a craft show, but other than that I’m not sure what the plans are.. sleep in for sure thoug! haha
AAAHHHHH!!!! So, I was about to say, Wow, I really number five. I, in fact, clicked on the link to see the dress. AND THEN I read that I won and I started yelling really loudly. Thank you! Thank you so much! Emailing you now!
I love maxi dresses (especially all of the ones from Modcloth) but unfortunately I’m too short for most maxi dresses & too lazy to get them hemmed!
I had never really been interested in maxi dresses, but recently decided to give it a go. I’m not sure how often I’ll wear mine, but at least it’s something fun to throw in the mix!
And for the short ladies, I’m 5’3″ and I got mine from Walmart and it hits just above my feet! And you can always hem a too-long one (sewing or iron on hem tape if you’re not a sewer).
I loooove maxi dresses. Some of them can get pretty expensive, so I just make my own. I love the Modcloth, Yesstyle, and XXI maxi dress!
love maxi dresses/skirts! I’m probably too short to wear them but I don’t care!
I LOVE maxis, I actually wore a maxi skirt today! It makes you feel so girly. I am not sure if the maxi trend actually suits me but I dont care because I love it 😛
Jealous of your long weekend, enjoy and relax x
fantastic round up! i really want a nice printed maxi dress! have a fun weekend!! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
I just adore maxi dresses. They’re pretty and comfortable! That second one you posted a picture of is just beautiful!
I have 5 maxi dresses in my closet right now…I do really like them! And Florida winters? Perfect for church, with a sweater & leggings underneath. 🙂
I don’t own any maxi dresses, but I wish I did!
I’m hanging out at home, having a bbq, and maybe going to the Nelson! So ready for a long weekend!
eeeek!!! i love all of them!!!! did you buy any?!!!! i still love that YESSTYLE one sooo much!!!
I’m totally a fan of maxi dresses!! Perfect for the summer 🙂
We will probably have some grilled pizza this weekend and just rest rest rest. Have a great weekend Sandy!
Cute collection of maxi dresses!! I need to add more to my closet for the summer…:)
No plans for Memorial Day weekend – just catching up with old friends and relaxing. I love weekends like that 🙂
Have a wonderful one, Sandy!!
I never used to like maxi dresses but I just got one from F21 and I LOVE it! I’m officially in love!
Such gorgeous picks! I love maxi-dresses, so fun to wear! My favs are number 3 and 5 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
– the runaway
So far, I’ll be going to the library and doing lots of cleaning (thrilling, huh?)
I love maxi dresses but I’m not confident I can pull them off – hubby claims I look pregnant in them! 🙂
Maxi dresses or regular dresses — all I know is that I need more of them for the summer. I have a friend visiting for the weekend and we’re off to the San Diego zoo today, so I’ll catch up with you more soon, Sandy! Hope you have a great long weekend!
I’m a recent maxi dress convert, and I’ve realized that they’re the most comfortable things ever! I love the Shop Ruche dress that you picked!! And I’m just going to be hanging out with friends and relaxing during the long weekend.
lots of friends & food & family time on the agenda!!
Oh, I hope you find one you like soon! I’m still on the lookout for my perfect one:)
Have a great holiday!!
