The Ideal Maxi Dress Is Real High Maintenance

Oh, but it's beautiful. The dress in question is by Vince. It's silk satin, which means it sticks to your skin in static-heavy situations. And it's also not surprisingly dry clean only. It's worth the extra effort though, because in it I feel statuesque, put together, and real lady like. There are very few items in my closet that can achieve this with only one piece of clothing.

Oh, Rosie Huntington Whiteley. Always Looking So Effortlessly Put Together, Working the Trendy High-Slit Skirts, Always In Neutral Fresh Colors.

Layering Over Pleated Maxi Skirts

UPDATE: Get The Trend: Pleated Maxi Skirts!

BUYERS BEWARE: This style runs very small. I would recommend sizing up, maybe 2 sizes. Free People tends to run itty bitty, but this particular style is especially small in the waist. The tie is held by oh-so delicate buttons, which will come apart at the slightest movement (like...SITTING DOWN). to avoid this, SIZE UP.

For example, I am typically a Small, but will order a Medium, or maybe even a Large.

-------------

You can find these two pretty options at Free People. although, warning: it's backordered. shocker.

You'll want to order a slip while you're at it, since this style is sheer. But if it wasn't sheer it just wouldn't be one of 2011's hottest spring trends.

DO IT. DO IT NOW.

Feel free to hate Erin Wasson for her effortlessly cool outfits at any time. This outfit is just so amazing for its proportions, the accessories & fit
