I like the maxi on you, maybe a belt you make it feel less overwhelming? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1010164 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:21:50 +0000 Deborah 1010164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love a bIt of drama and I think this looks good on you Hil. To some degree it's a matter of personal taste. I look weird in maxi's but you look comfortable and like "you". Wear and enjoy:)</p> <p>I do tend to prefer a maxi in summer as I feel visually having some skin showing balances the coverage of the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1009738 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 16:55:14 +0000 ManidipaM 1009738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might guess I would love this, mightn't you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1009731 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 16:27:11 +0000 Joan Joplin 1009731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with you on the drama.

YAY, maxi-lovers, unite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1009706 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:32:30 +0000 rute 1009706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's a bit overwhelming, but this is so you! I love the way you wear dramatic volume so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1009691 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:17:03 +0000 Anonymous 1009691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think just making the hem high-low would get thumbs up. The bottom line though is if it makes you happy! Aesthetics are specific to time, place, culture, mood etc. so going against the general trend isn't always a bad thing.</p> <p>You look good in maxis! I tried one the other day and it looked like a wizard robe (in a bad costumey way, says the Gandalf fangirl). </p> <p>The purple and black looks lovely with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-why-do-i-love-thee#post-1009677 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 15:05:27 +0000 Hil 1009677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is what I wore today and I'm pretty sure it's not going to get lots of YLF love. </p> <p>I don't wear the maxi thing much anymore because I know it's overwhelming and not figure flattering but somehow I like the drama of it as well as the comfort. </p>
