Twirl So Hard

Happy Friday Eve!

I thought we would dress things up around here and play. When we were younger that mean putting on something fun and twirling. We don't twirl enough anymore. Right? You know what twirls super well? Pleated maxi skirts. I really love the patterned ones because they're punchy, unexpected, and twirly.

Picture this: night out with a black silk came and tassel earrings THEN Saturday afternoon chambray button down and tie the waist. 

TJ Maxx, Printed Pleated Maxi Skirt, $75

H&M, Chiffon Skirt, $59

I dare you to have a bad day in this skirt.

Shoptiques, Glam Squad Tribal Maxi Skirt, $34

This pattern has movement, even standing still, it's got style.

So get to twirling. Play with patterns, don't let a maxi skirt shy you away from prints. These skirts make an impact in the best ways possible!

Happy Monday lovebugs,
It was a relaxing weekend here in DC and even though we are still dealing with off and on rain, the sun made a few appearances. Today I thought we would look at a trend that isn't necessarily my favorite style but figuring out how to make it work for me. The bohemian trend. Breezy, cool, and twirly (yes that's the technical term). I'm more of a fitted or structured kind of girl, but I can take the maxi skirt boho trend and make it work for a more streamlined look.

Nordstrom, Catherine Catherine Malandrino Marlena Faux Wrap Skirt, $98

This skirt is going to be a workhorse in your summer wardrobe. Crisp white with a faux wrap silhouette.

Nasty Gal, Bialik Floral Maxi Skirt, $88 $44

Major sale alert! How gorgeous is this red skirt? Zoom in and you can see the feminine lace overlay.

Urban Outfitters, Kimchi Blue Pleated Maxi Skirt, $89 $69

A beautiful blue and pleats that will make your legs look model-like long.

TJMaxx, Polka Dot Maxi Skirt, $19

I'd pair this print with a contrasting one on top like a pink pinstripe of floral.

While the boho trend isn't in my comfort zone, I can play with a piece of this style that work for me. Don't shy away from trends, make them work for you!

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.

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.
