The perfect maxi dress


Haven’t had a chance to shop for one of my favourite high-street brands, Mango, after they closed all their stores in Sydney.. I wonder why! The other Spanish label Zara seems to be doing crazily well here :) But I got to check out their latest FW offerings in Kuala Lumpur and found the perfect loose-fit maxi dress in a dark hunter-green (leopard?) print, that’s actually all-season appropriate for me. An easy, throw-on for summer and plenty of room to layer long sleeve tops underneath, and studded denim bikers on top when it gets cold again. And for $70? What a steal! I’ve only worn it four times this week! What do you think?

    I love it - it has a great print, and is so nice and floaty it will keep you cool in the summer, I can only imagine how perfect it will be! :)

    Lovely - I immediately went to the Mango website to do a reccy and stopped myself as I thought - that is waaaay too long for me! But it’s lovely on you - such a cool print and colour too. Has a touch of the LV camouflage colours about it?

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      I think it would be fine on you Sue. They do run rather large though, this is an S, I usually wear M/L! I fell in love with the print immediately, must be something to do with it being in the khaki-olive range.. it’s all I seem to be buying these days!

    It looks great on you! I’m so jealous that you’re going into summer soon! I don’t like winter at all.

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      Wouldn’t it be nice if you could spend your winter here and I do the same in Greece? Hehe.

    All I can say it what a brilliant buy! I’m loving it. There is nothing like a gorgeous flowing dress to make you feel like a million dollars and as you say, there is so many ways you can style this dress I’m sure it will be on regular rotation. I can’t believe the price too! What a steal.

    Thanks for the super sweet comment on my blog. If you are ever in Melbourne make sure you drop me a message

      Thanks Mandi! I just love maxis for the fact that they are no-brainer outfit starters. Also the loose fit is great for ‘fat days’ and hiding food babies haha x

    I love Mango too, but it is loosing its popularity in Korea as well!!!! Most of shops closed and there remains only one Mango shop in Busan (5 million residents). Zara is crazy popular here…
    I like this maxi, beautiful dress.

    Steph! I love your Maxi dress! I really like how you paired it with the sandals. Cool and breezy chic. How odd they close the Mango stores in Australia. My favorite leather jacket which is all beaten up came from their outlet when I was on holiday there.

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      My fave leather jacket is from Mango too! Though I seem to have misplaced it. The new Kate Moss collection is amazing <3

    Lovely dress on you! What a great print and love the length on you. I only saw Mango when we were in Europe. You’re right, they are hard to come by now.

    The dress is beautiful, the oversized, loose shape is so perfect with the (Floral? Camo? Leopard?!) print. I can’t believe the price, such a steal! Really loving those sandals too, and of course the Celines!
    How odd that they would close all the stores! I really like Mango, but their website is a pain (& awful delivery service) & we don’t have one near us either, so I never get to buy as much as I’d like from there. I am a bit obsessed with Zara though, we recently got a store in our city, so I’ve been spending quite a lot of time in there! :)

    • http://www.absolutely-fuzzy.com Stephanie

      Thanks Steph.. In the UK you can buy Mango from ASOS which is nice, they don’t ship the brand outside of the UK which is a bummer!

    Love your studded bracelet as well!
    kisses baby.
