Yes, I am petite and wearing an ankle length dress isn\u2019t necessarily a height builder but, there is nothing more easy and comfortable than throwing on one darling piece and out the door you go.   Fashion naysayers said that it was \u201cover\u201d death to the maxi, but you can&#8217;t bring a good dress down&#8230;my love, they are back!  Now I ask you darling did they really ever go away?  I mean Old Navy has been pumping out the maxi dress for over three years now, not that I would call ON  &#8220;high fashion&#8221; but, it is after all the scene on the streets that dictates is it not?<\/p>\n<p>So this season there are plenty of ways to wear your maxi\u2026other than the standard AZ dress code of pairing it with flip flops, and if you want to get the jump and wear your long dresses now here are a few ways to wear them Pre- Spring.<\/p>\n<p>I just love all the Rachel Pally dresses this season\u2026Ms Rachel always manages to perfectly mix that sophistication with California casual in a way like no one else.  Seriously you can ball up two or three of these dresses in an overnight bag and still look effortless and gorgeous the next day or two.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-5756 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  title=\"rachelpally\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally-80x120.jpg\"  alt=\"\"  width=\"287\"  height=\"431\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally.jpg 287w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally-53x80.jpg 53w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/22053935\/rachelpally-73x109.jpg 73w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This season mix a Rachel maxi with a fitted blazer and chunky heels like these Robert Clergerie platforms at Barney\u2019s for a decidedly downtown vibe.
