get the look: RACHEL ZOE BLACK MAXI AND BELT

Maxi dresses are so easy and comfortable but sometimes they lack in the shape department.  Rachel Zoe solved that problem by throwing on a wide waist belt with her loose black maxi dress.  She finished the look off with a fanned bib statement necklace and simple clutch.  Simple, elegant and so easy!

Here is how you can put this look together:
- Extra Long Boy Tank Dress by Otis and Maclain - Retail $160 / Sale $46
- Cleopatra Necklace by Lisa K - Retail $350 / Sale $65
- Waist Belt with Flat Studs by Linea Pelle - Retail $150 / Sale $75
- Rose Foldover Clutch by Tucker Paisley - $225

GTBB,
Bad Joan

    I love this look on R Zoe but somehow when I try to belt a maxi it never looks so flattering. Great finds I like the clutch you featured more than Zoe's! I live in maxi dresses in the summer and this year I'm going to try and wear my maxi's into the fall. Last year I put them away much too quickly.

    Love those bib necklaces. They are so gorgeous. And look at her rocking brown and black together! I love ladies that break the rules. :)

    I personally LOVE maxi dresses. I think they are so so comfy. I can't wait to wear some of mine this fall (some were too warm for summer)


    Thanks so much for your comment

    This is such an easy look to pull off and probably already own everything in my closet already :)

    It's really best to cinch a maxi with a wide waisted belt. I love that black maxi she's wearing. :-)
