  The Nordstrom sale is crazy! I got this really cute ombre maxi there: http://detroitduchess.com/get-the-ombre-look-for-less  permalink

  I love shopping Nordstrom online! You really can't go wrong with free shipping and free returns all the time. I originally bought this maxi in a medium but had to exchange it for a small as it does run rather large, but their online return policy made it effortless.  permalink

  So badly wish I could pull off a maxi dress, but I feel like I am just TOO short. UGH. I need a fashion makeover, though, for sure!

  Guys, is the lush one the same one that she has on in the above Instagram picture? the stripes don't look the same colour?  permalink

  Emily, how tall are you? I am 5'9" and can never seem to find maxi's long enough!  permalink

• Makenzie Adams May 30, 2013 at 8:05 am

  If I am 5'6 almost 5'7... Would they not be long enough on me do you think? Because if you're 5'2 and they fit you, then I'm assuming they may be shorter on me so that's why I'm nervous about ordering it without trying it on.  permalink

  I have (surprisingly) found all of my favorite maxi's at Target. When shopping there I know it needs to be considered 'disposable fashion' but man -- they've got some great dresses going on this year and last!  permalink

• Karla May 30, 2013 at 8:34 am

  I have three of these Lush dresses! They're my favorite!  permalink

• Melissa May 30, 2013 at 8:35 am

  Thanks for sharing Emily! This dress is the perfect mix of fresh colors for the summer. I have been looking for a new maxi, so I ordered one before they are all gone!  permalink

  I have been looking for a good maxi! Thanks! I just bought an awesome pair of wedges - so its time I get one!
  
  Thanks!

  What other print were you heading back to Nordstrom to get? Would love to know what you had your eye on :))  permalink

Em, you would be a S, not an XS.. http://www.c21stores.com/product/printed-maxi-dress-soul-harmony-en xo, hugs & ::))  permalink

  I am 5'8" 135lbs and want to order this dress but can't decide between a S and M, anyone my size have a suggestion?
  
  Thanks!  permalink

• Elise May 31, 2013 at 12:13 pm

  I love this dress, but because of the spaghetti straps it would need a strapless bra and I've never found a really great one. Does anyone have a strapless bra they love?  permalink

• Eleanor  /  website May 31, 2013 at 11:25 pm

  Emily,
  Thanks for the suggestion! My sister and I also love Nordstrom; they're customer service is second to none, in my opinion. And goodness, that sale of the year... yes, please! :) We both just bought this dress along with a couple other Lush maxi dresses. They're the best maxi dresses I've worn - perfect fabric, enough length to shorten (if necessary), and ever so flattering.

  The greatest of these is love. The second greatest must be the man who is loved and respected by Emily.  permalink

  Hey emily wanted to ask you what you think is the best outfit to wear to a high school graduation?  permalink

• Ned Steele  /  website June 4, 2013 at 12:11 am

  The maxi skirt is the best way to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring. Olivia is wearing this trans-seasonal piece a lot lately. She has them in all shapes: ankle length to show off her sandals, or a floor-sweeping version for a super elegant silhouette. To create a casual look Olivia keeps it basic on the top with a white jersey tee and a black leather jacket, or a warm turtleneck knit. For a more chic version of the maxi skirt she pairs it with a fur vest and high-heel leopard print ankle booties. To add more shape she accentuates the waist with a leather belt. Take a look at these maxi skirts in classic black, green or beige, a brighter color in baby blue or bright coral, or a printed floral one. What do you think of this maxi trend?  permalink

  Hey Emily - I love this maxi dress and I wanted to get your opinion on something. Do you wear any type of slip under maxis? Seems that even the perfect fitting maxis still show my panty lines!  permalink

• Stephanie June 22, 2013 at 4:26 am

  Hi Emily! I never bought a Lush maxi dress from Nordstrom, just always buy the short dresses there because I am only 5'2, but I love this maxi dress!! Do you have to get it shortened to wear with sandals or is the length ok to wear with sandals without a hem? Please let me know :-)
  Thank you!!  permalink
