Some things just naturally go together, like apple pie and ice cream, lashes and mascara, and flora dresses and cardigans.
MAXI MAXIMIZED
Truth be told, we love a long, floaty maxi that rustles and moves with every sashay. Merging all that length with a sweater up top means keeping a critical eye on the silhouette.
This long maxi meets cropped cardi shows us how it’s done. And when you add in some hot pink color pop on your toes? Talk about catching the eye from head to toe…
