Seasonal Transition Maxi Skirts Part I

Hi guys! I had a post prepared for three maxi skirt looks I have put together recently. Unfortunately I am on my way to a play and ran out of time to download all of the pictures. I figured I will post the rest tomorrow night when I get the chance. So either tomorrow or Sunday will have two posts as I play catch up.

I love a maxi. I think you can carry it into every season.

The Ping Maxi Skirt is one of my favorites. I think a pop of just about any color works with it. Although, it is great with lace and denim as well. The other day I paired it with a simple mustard layering top from H & M. The necklace is Betsy Johnson via Nordstrom Rack.

What is your favorite maxi in your closet?

We are in the process of a mini home facelift. My house is a disaster zone. Every single piece of furniture has been moved away from the walls. My dresser drawers are overflowing in my living room. There are stacks of towels and bowls all over the kitchen countertop. And it is extremely stressful.

But, also, I am secretly loving it. I get to be lazy and messy. With good reason. Kind of lovely with the kids having their last week of school.

I am hiring everybody individually. It is a high-wire act of timing. I have to schedule the next guy to come at the perfect time following the previous job. If not, we might never exit this overflowing mound of chaos.

What is my point?

Well, I have not been too concerned about my outfits this week. Oh. That is not true. But I have not really taken pictures or had room to take pictures. Or found the camera in this craziness to take pictures.

Sorry.

I do, however, have a backlog of photos I have not posted yet. They are from the beginning of the year.

First up is the Free People Tuxedo Top. I love this top. There is something very feminine about a woman wearing a “tuxedo” top. Why is that? I am generally not a jeans girl. However, this top changes my mind. I love the pop of yellow my Anthropologie bag gives to the outfit.

How have I not posted about this dress? I had to go back and check. Sure enough. Nothing! It is the Miles of Henley dress. I love this dress. I am about ten pounds heavier in the pictures above than I am now. It is the dress in my old header (which I just changed).

The dress is a fantastic price. It comes in so many great colors. I am obsessed with the new rust orange. I might have to own three of these. I all ready own it in charcoal and rosewood. The bottom is really long. The great thing about this, is it fits all heights. The hem is unfinished, so you can just cut it to the length that fits you best.

I love these leggings. I pair them with my black Anthropologie jersey dress from many years ago. They are Modcloth Fresh Take Leggings in Fauna. They are sold out, but they have some adorable ones with a swan print. And they are cheaper than the fauna ones were!

Okay, that is all for today. Back to our hovel:

Here is a peek of what we are living in. It should be back to normal soon. Right? Right?

I hope your day is wonderful!
