I think tie dye looks less boho in neutrals. Would have loved the UO dress if it didn't expose bumpage, but I think the skirt will look like you with one of your simple tops to tone down the bohemian vibe. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxis---the-skirt-won-out-over-the-dress#post-927275 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:05:09 +0000 Angie 927275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like this pattern more because it's less boho, (not that boho is bad at all! You mentioned that it wasn't your thing so it's in that context). The only way to know is to try the frock! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxis---the-skirt-won-out-over-the-dress#post-927270 Wed, 08 May 2013 02:00:30 +0000 bj1111 927270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I didnt geta chance to comment on the original thread, the skirt is actually cute waterside lounging clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/maxis---the-skirt-won-out-over-the-dress#post-926291 Mon, 06 May 2013 19:52:30 +0000 Mo 926291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As discussed here<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-a-maxi-skirt">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....maxi-skirt</a>&nbsp;I was debating on maxi choices.&nbsp;The blue dress came. &nbsp;As I suspected, the unlined bottom was a no-go. &nbsp;It was a cute style, but the idea was for an easy, breezy dress, not wearing a slip or worrying about my panty lines or bathing suit bulges. &nbsp;<br />I know that many of you, and Angie, saw the subtle tie dye print on the skirt&nbsp;as boho, but I found it more reminiscent of clouds for some reason, and not really hippie at all. &nbsp;Maybe even a blurred geo print.&nbsp;Not to mention, the print detracts from possible lumps and bumps. &nbsp; <br />Funny thing, when I looked back&nbsp;at a few dresses and shirts I was contemplating recently, several of them were a blurry white/black tie dye.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-GUESS-89-Classic-Silk-Button-down-Tie-Dye-Boyfriend-Shirt-Top-Grey-M-6-7-/110993694652?pt=US_CSA_WC_Shirts_Tops&amp;var=&amp;hash=item19d7bd5fbc">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-GU.....19d7bd5fbc</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mimi-chica-tie-dye-cutout-back-tiered-maxi-dress-juniors/3445520?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=Navy&amp;resultback=652&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_2_C">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....ts-_-1_2_C</a>&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.6pm.com/kensie-l-s-maxi-shirtdress-dark-storm-multi">http://www.6pm.com/kensie-l-s-.....torm-multi</a>&nbsp; My mind must have been there without me realizing it. &nbsp;Hmm.<br />Anyway, I know it's not a 10 for my style but it's a good solid 8 for what I need it for, and that's okay with me! &nbsp;This is honestly like a lakeside sweat pant alternative. (&nbsp;I may have a very small amount of flowy, new age in me that might come out more 20 years from now, so this really isn't a&nbsp;<i>huge</i> style departure. )&nbsp;
