It's the bargain thread.

Ok so don't say I never give you anything - I have had so so many requests for dresses that are on trend (and YES - I hate to break it to you but maxi dresses are very much a mainstream fashion item - not just the random thing I've been touting for a year or so!). 

BUT that don't cost a fortune.  So may I present the more cost effective maxi dress.  It can be done.  Actually I should interject and say some of these are midi as I completely appreciate a full on maxi may still not be for everyone. 

The joy of these is that they are so easy to wear.  I know I extoll their virtues consistently but they really are simply so easy to wear.  Just one item to think about.  One thing to wear.  Throw on with absolutely any footwear you can think of.  Ankle boots, trainers, heels, loafers, mules or sandals - genuinely anything will work with them.  

Coat wise - right now, a denim jacket for cool days, a leather biker is perfect, a trench will also work.  I'm also going to throw it out there that you can ring the changes this season and wear a blazer with them.  I promise it works.  Not to mention a long chunky cardigan. 

And these are a selection that won't break the bank.  None of them are above £70 and most are a LOT less.
