Skirt Growth Spurt

Let's take it to the max today. No, not Saved by the Bell The Max, I'm talking maxi skirts. Flowing, breezy, easy for summer skirts. These skirts are statement makers but sometimes you just need a staple, a neutral, the black pant of maxi skirts. Oh and you need it on sale. I give you the foundational maxi skirt under $50.

This skirt is downright whimsical. I love the blush tone and the skirt is 60% off.

The seaming on this skirt gives it a sweeping effect. I love the amber color as well.

Windsor, Black Grand Scuba Maxi Skirt, $32

I wish you didn't look at the price of this skirt. Doesn't this look black tie ready? You've GOT to see the pink version.

Maximum Sheer

This summer was all about the maxi dress, but when I'm looking for a summer to fall transition piece I'm thinking maxi skirt. One trend I'm loving right now is the sheer maxi skirt. It's interesting and different and I think it's a breezy way to greet September.

Dorothy Perkins, Alice & You Floral Sheer Maxi Skirt, $29

A big, blooming print that is so feminine.

Charlotte Russe, Neon High-Waisted Chiffon Maxi Skirt, $22 $15

A pop of pink for your weekend outings.

Urban Outfitters, Kimchi Blue Accordion-Pleat Chiffon Maxi Skirt, $79

And speaking of pink, how about this blush option? The pleats offer so much movement.

Shoptiques, Color-block Maxi Skirt, $68

A great multicolor option that you can dress up or down with something as simple as a denim jacket.

The sheer maxi is a fun option to mix in to your fall wardrobe when it's not quite cool outside yet. Have fun with colors and mix in your cardigans or tees for a more casual look.

Maximum Sleeves

We all know and love maxis, they're comfy, versatile and they've been a huge trend this summer. So how do we fall-ify them? Simple, just change the material to something a little heavier and add some sleeves. Let your accessories do the rest.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin Rugby Stripe Sweater Maxi, $79

A peek a boo leg slit is the perfect surprise to this simple sweater dress.

Old Navy, Belted Jersey Maxi, $25

The dolman sleeves dress up this otherwise simple dress. There is so much you can do to accessorize: jewelry, denim jacket, switch out the belt, the list goes on.

Bon Ton, Calvin Klein Variegated Stripe Maxi, $68

This scoop neck is a great contrast to the horizontal stripes. I'm liking the braided belt as well.

Nordstrom, Ruched Maxi Dress, $88

A beautiful emerald color makes this dress look like a tall drink of water.

Maxis aren't going anywhere with the weather changing, change up the layers and the accessories and you keep the look.

Hot and Unbalanced

And I'm not just talking about myself! Today, we're looking at one shoulder maxi dresses; I love maxis, and we looked at some maxi skirts last week, but today we're taking the maxi dress and cutting off a shoulder.

Willow & Clay, Zig Zag Belted Maxi Dress, $84

This flirty and fun maxi is perfect for day or night with the appropriate shoes.

Hive & Honey, Maxi Shirred Dress, $49

This also comes in navy. I think either color is the perfect neutral canvas to add some big and colorful jewelry.

Tinley Road, One Shoulder Maxi, $29

This is a little bridesmaid worthy, but also lovely for an outdoor dressy wedding.

KAS New York, Sue Bead-Neck Maxi, $98

Want to feel like a Grecian goddess? Throw this on and be ready to turn heads.

I love the idea of a dramatic neckline created by a one shoulder dress. These beauties really are a tall glass of water.
