the stripy maxi dress

maxi - c/o blue vanilla *  //  denim jacket - zara  //  straw hat - primark  //  trainers - primark  //  choker - asos  

maxi dresses aren't usually my thang. . . i love maxi skirts and i like other people in maxi dresses but i always feel a bit awkward in them, and I never ever know what shoes to wear. i like this one i really do, stripes are always good and its a flattering cut, i feel ok when I hold it up (see second and third picture) but as soon as i let it drop (see last picture) I just feel weird and column like . . . am I the only one who has this maxi dress 'column' phobia? i think its the shoe issue that puts me off the most, i love floating around the house in a maxi, epescially this one, but as soon as i add shoes to the equation it just feels all kinds of wrong. i think i need to live next to/on a beach so i don't need to wear shoes. on the plus side i always love the opportunity to wear my straw hat!

thanks
