Faux Separate Maxi Dresses for Everyday Style

I love the versatility of the simplest styles of maxi dresses. My favorite is what I call the faux-separate style which features a colored or patterned top, and a separate-looking skirt. For short girls like me, this gives an illusion of longer body length plus I like how I can wear the color block ones to work by just donning a crisp looking blazer and matching it with a pair of platform sandals or pumps. At Shopbop, we found these 4 faux-separate maxi dresses you can use for everyday.
