If you stopped by my house unexpectedly one day, you would probably find me in my comfy clothes and my hair in a messy bun. I’d either be wearing yoga pants and a t-shirt or my painting clothes. You wouldn’t guess that I used to work at Nordstrom or that I used to wear stylish suits everyday as a bank manager. But if you happened to run into me at church or out on a date with my husband, I’d be wearing a cute dress, shoes, and accessories, with my hair done nicely. My style has changed because my responsibilities have changed, but I’ll always be a fashionista at heart. (Vogue was my first magazine subscription!)
The maxi is probably my favorite spring and summer fashion trend- especially when it’s starting to warm up but your legs haven’t seen much of the sun yet. 😉 You can dress a maxi up or down by the top, shoes, and accessories you wear with it.
I’ve chosen 19 of my favorite looks from around the web featuring maxi skirts and dresses – I hope you find some summer wardrobe inspiration!
