It’s been a few weeks since the BR x Trina Turk collaboration hit stores and I’ve fallen in love with a maxi dress! Bright colors, fun prints, and super flattering silhouettes…it’s so perfect for summer!
I’m a firm believer that petites can wear maxi dresses and this dress is no exception. Made specifically in petite proportions, this maxi dress makes you look slim and tall.
I paired this dress with a gray vest to make it a little different. Sure, you can totally wear this dress without additional accessories, but sometimes, it’s nice when you can add your own flair to a dress. I think the vest tones down the bright colors of the maxi. Instead of a Palm Springs feel, it’s now more of a casual boho look.

You look adorable in the dress! How’s the fit for the maxi? I’ve been eyeing that one for awhile but (as a petite gal) have always hesitated about taking the plunge into maxis! You look great in it.
Love, S

You look amazing Jess! I refused to pay full price for this collection (errr I usually hate paying full price for anything) but no coupon codes would work for the collection! Finally it was discounted and I got an additional 25% off! So I picked up the same maxi and the twist strap dress. I really only wanted the pieces made from silk.
That dress looks FANTASTIC on you, Jess…love the colors and retro print. Too cute!
