Designer v Highstreet: The Floral Maxi
This summer it’s all about the floral maxi, and the nature of maxi’s eliminate the need to coordinate a whole outfit and are so comfortable and breezy in the hot weather, they make it an essential summer buy for me!
I love the designer option here by Diane von Furstenberg – this is their #17 look from their spring runway show and is such a feminine, pretty ensemble but at £356 it is on the expensive size.
The Highstreet option is from Mango and is considerably cheaper at £85, especially as it is 100% silk.
Team you maxi dress with caged heels and a glam jacket to emulate the DVF look, or simply with a skinny cardy and flipflops for a laid back look.

Love the maxi dress! I’m so glad it is the staple of this season. I’ve already bought one for myself, but unfortunately it is still too cold to wear it in Ottawa
Love your blog, keep it up!
