STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Live Life On The Maxi Side

Just because summer is coming to a close does not mean we should stray away from warm weather fashion—especially the maxi skirt. I found this Fashionista strutting the streets downtown in this stunning ensemble. What caught my eye was the pattern of her maxi skirt and the way it flowed in the wind as she walked. She kept it all balanced out with her solid black tank and dainty accessories. I love the way she made her outfit dressier with a platform sandal, but casual at the same time. She made sure that all of the focus was on the skirt, as it should be.

Similar to the “no white pants after Labor Day” rule, so many people think that they should strictly keep maxi skirts and bright patterns stuffed away in their summer closet. Let’s be honest, what is so bad about wearing them all year-round? They are comfortable, stylish and come in the most adorable styles for fall. Designers themselves think that maxi skirts are always in season, which is why they constantly have them on the runways and in their lines. Even if you have a maxi skirt already, try styling it with a long sleeve shirt and some cute booties and you’ve got yourself the perfect look.

Whether you are shorter, tall or somewhere in the middle, maxi skirts flatter any and all kinds of body types, so give one a try! You never know, you just might fall in love with it.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “My advice is to have fun while shopping for a maxi skirt! You want one that will make a statement with or without a fancy top to go with it. Buy one that you love, and figure the rest out later.”
