STYLE GURU STYLE: The Maxi(mum) Look

Colorado is famous for its sunshine so the rainy days are always a surprise. Although I love the sun, I appreciate the days when I don’t have to spend all my time sitting in front of an air conditioner. But cooler days also mean pulling out the layers that have been stuffed in the back of my closet.

One of my favorite rainy day fashions is the maxi skirt because it’s the perfect combination of summer style and warmth. I love the Louis Vuitton 2016 resort collection combination of a maxi skirt and a bulky sweater. The blend of textures and fabrics creates an unexpected outfit that’s perfect for the chilliest days.

I paired a patterned maxi skirt with a chunky cable-knit sweater. My sweater kept me perfectly cozy in the cold rain while my boho skirt paid tribute to the hiding summer sun. I kept things casual with chunky sandals and simple gold jewelry. With a combination of colors, textures and patterns I followed Louis Vuitton’s lead and had a lovely and cozy outfit for a rainy day.

Maxi skirts come in all different patterns and textures so don’t be afraid to mix and match. A bold pattern combines beautifully with a texture that pops so however you rock it, a maxi skirt is the perfect rainy day ensemble. And in three easy steps, you can rock a runway look, just like I did!
