When it comes to super-sized style, maxi dresses and excessive accessories make for a kitsch-tastic combo. I'm talking about maximalism, the aesthetic that flouts the old-school edict of taking one thing off before leaving the house and instead adding five more. I remember being excited when I found out that it was a thing. Deep down, I'd always known it was okay to look like a try-hard Christmas tree. So, it's with unabashed enthusiasm that I share these fits. Stacking the flair is not only fun but functional because I like to have things to look at throughout the day. It's why the idea of a uniform -- by which I mean anything from a school-issued skirt and blouse to a pants suit -- sends me into, to quote Anne of Green Gables, "the depths of despair."
That said, Anne, with her love of whimsy and pretty things, would've been a maximalist of the first order.
