Collins svart polkaprickig maxikjol

Of all the maxi skirts I've tried, this one actually makes my waist look defined instead of swallowed. The pleats add just enough swing without being too bulky, and the black on white dots pairs perfectly with my nude flats for brunch.

The pleats on this maxi skirt hold their shape really well even after sitting through a long dinner, and the polka dots read playful without being loud. I paired it with a tucked-in white tee and flats and it looked effortlessly put together.

Wore this to a baby shower with a plain white tee and flats, and got compliments all afternoon. The polka dots are subtle enough to feel grown-up, and the maxi length hits right at my ankles so it works with sneakers too.
