Maxi dresses are once again dominating the high street this Spring and after they appeared in many different designs on the catwalks, it should come as no surprise really. Last summer I searched for the perfect maxi dress and ended up with three, this year, I have added another to that collection and spent all of yesterday out in the sun in a maxi dress. Here are my top picks from the high street, for wallets of all sizes:

SAVE:

Dorothy Perkins pink/orange stripe maxi dress

Miss Selfridge Aztec Print Shirred Maxi Dress

SPEND:


Warehouse Glamazon Maxi Dress

Miss Selfridge Gold Belted Pleated Maxi Dress

SPLURGE:


Monsoon Delano Maxi Dress

Monsoon Mirage Pleated Maxi Dress

What have you been wearing in this gorgeous sunny Spring weather? Will you be rocking a maxi? Or pulling one out of last summer's pile?
