This past weekend was the first weekend of summer and fittingly it was the first time the June Gloom burned away to reveal some glorious sun. I had a BBQ to attend and decided a breezy maxi skirt was the way to go.
If you remember from this past post, I had my eye on a striped maxi skirt from Urban Outfitters. But, $200 was just too much for this gal. So, I found an alternative that was much easier on the wallet at a local boutique. I paired it with a black jersey raw edge loose tank, flat sandals, and a turquoise drop necklace for the look below.
I felt stylish and comfortable - my favorite combination - especially when chasing after too kids and making sure they don't drown or eat sand. (I succeeded in preventing drowning, didn't fare too well on the other.)
I have recreated the look below with similar items and links to individual items. Click 'em to buy 'em.
Love this look. You look fabulous. I sometimes have a problem with long skirts and long tops--I think it should look cool, but then, not so much. Do you think the maxis are here to stay for a season or two? (Hope the sand wasn't too problematic. ;-) )
ReplyDeleteThanks e! Sometimes it is tough to balance. I thought this combo worked because the skirt is fitted and slim while the top flows. I think that is key. Personally, I stay away from pleats at the waist, elastic or any volume in maxis. Maxis have been around a few years now and I think they still have some life in em.
