DO MAXI DRESSES LOOK GOOD ON ANYONE BESIDES PREGNANT ANGELINA JOLIE? I'M DECIDING YES.

Despite my friend Lara's many protests to the contrary ("You'll look like you're hiding something!" "It's just much too much fabric for anyone!" "They make your butt enormous!"), I really want to purchase a big, airy maxi dress and wear it with flat Grecian sandals and pretend I am walking in the South of France with 18 of Brad Pitt's children. Finding one that doesn't look like something out of the Mrs. Roper wardrobe vault (or like a print threw up on a pattern) has not been the easiest task.

However, today on eBay, these caught my eye: This sunny yellow boob-supporting style, which I feel like Jessica Alba would've worn pre-pregnancy, post-emaciation. I also like this bold blue one's daring neckline and graphic feel. And perhaps this beaded Victoria's Secret style should scare me, but I actually find it very island-esque and fun.
