Rocking The Maxi
Everyone loves maxi skirts! They are easy and comfortable and stylish but you have to be careful to not have them look too maternal. You also donʼt want to look like you don’t have a clue about fit. So there are a lot of cool style ideas that you can try out to change-up the look when you rock your maxi skirt. So what tops look good with a maxi? Here are some fresh new ideas to help you along:
Look 1. Add a T-shirt: This is a more youthful, fun, and kicked-back look. It’s full of that boho chic mixed with an edge! This is my type of girl but you need to understand that this look is not for everyone. But for the bold girl who knows how to flaunt what she’s got then itʼs fun to take a sheer, fancy lace maxi skirt and then dress it down with a fun Rolling Stones tank for spring. Then it’s really fun to dress it back up with some funky fun accessories. Layer and Layer because with this look the layered up necklaces rock! If you are nervous about there being a chill in the air, a big baggy sweater or cardigan will top this look off sweetly. Now for my faovrite part, the shoes…….what could be better than a big black gladiator sandal that will sing to your heart?!
This look is relaxed and great for concerts in the summer time or just throwing a Frisbee in the park. Get creative with all sorts of your favorite t-shirts, mixed with a maxi this year. I love this amazing fun tank top from forever 21 mixed with the lace shear Maxi skirt in this yummy wine color only $17.50 from Forever 21 this is a must buy…so cute
Look 2. Add a Blazer: This look is if you want your maxi skirt to look more official, clean, and church worthy. This is a look that you can rock to the office with style even when itʼs a long length. Sometimes office wear can be frumpy and too boring, but not today! I love a cute basic long black maxi that you can throw on with a blouse and a blazer. Just by adding that boyfriend blazer you now can play the official badge! Boyfriend blazers are always a safe bet to add instant style to anything. Blazer under $40 is perfect price and perfect style to wear at work with style.
Look 3. Add a sweater: When you are feeling like you want your maxi to be more casual and unique then pair it with a sweater thrown on for a night out to the movies or a great date night. It’s also way cute to wear to school or to a casual job. Try to think out of the box when it comes to changing up your tops to change the feel of your maxi skirts.
Look 4. Add a button down shirt: Ok I fell in love with this look when I first say Drew Barrymore rocking it at lunch. Amazingly super rad and just by adding a belt makes it super unique and is great for an all-around style moment. With this look you can go anywhere really. It is dressed up enough to meet the in-laws but dressed down enough to walk your kids around the park.This look is just a must this spring. You can try it with any color on top and you will be great. Just add some accessories and you are ready to go. What makes the look even better is my go to Current Elliott Perfect Shirt. And it really is Perfect I wear it with everything and anything. What I love most is my $200 dollar top with a $12.50 forever 21 skirt. Love to mix and match.

Have fun with maxiʼs this year! Also I love a cute prego women in a maxi skirt or dress! The look just works for pregnancy and it is also super comfortable. I love that I can cross my legs in them still and look nice! Really itʼs true. Plus a good maxi in the summer is timeless so hurry and try styling your maxi this spring with all my top ideas.
