Do you remember how we ate enough to sink a ship in Italy?
It is all very well to swoon over warm Foccacia and Genovese Pesto, but let me tell you something – decadent Italian food does no favours to ones wardrobe.Β I promise you this – a week of savouring Italian delicacies will leave your jeans feeling snugger and dresses feeling tighter than usual. So what’s a girl gotta do? Give up the antipasti and apertifs? Starve to fit into a dress? No way!
I have a better solution – give in to gluttony and pick a dress that covers a multitude of sins. After all, you’re on holiday!
This might be why I am so fond of Maxi Dresses π I chose a bright maxi dress for our whirlwind tour of Genoa’s trattorias and gelaterias. This dress is pleated all the way through. The vivid colours make it quite a bold piece so I stuck to simple accessories – a black bag, mirrored gold aviators, and chunky gold earrings. I pulled my hair in a top-knot to keep it out the way and pulled the whole look together with a waist-cinching black and gold belt.
And that is how you set the stage for culinary indulgence- tadaaa

Love how almost all titles of the blog-are alliterative-good ol’ habits :). I love love this look..:) Also I think maxi dresses flatter a particular body type- ‘the tall-slim one’ ,isn’t it?? Saviiiii…suggest some for the not-so tall π
Tall slim- er there’s noone like that around here Ratika π I think maxi dresses look nice on everyone. I’m no expert, but try a bandeau-style maxi-dress, it will elongate your torso and make you look taller
I like the vibrant hue of the maxi dress….but the earring and the belt is what i have set my eyes on….overall amazing look…u can pull of anything, don’t u π
Anu thank you for indulging me so much. To be fair, a maxi dress is probably the easiest thing in the world to pull off π
Both of you guys always make me say wow! in everything you do.

I adore maxis and wear them often. Not only do I love the look, but it lessens the need for maintenance of the legs during the summer:) Yours in this photo is a dream! I love the belt!

Well here in Hawaii, they tend to wear very loose muumuus especially for big potluck gatherings so its easy to overindulge. That blue outfit looks gorgeous on your, I think you probably wear any color well!
Thanks Noel- you’re always so generous. I like the sound of loose muumuus – I definitely need to get myself a couple of them π
Such a pretty, sweet dress this, honey :)…xoxox
