{Fashion}/Wardrobe Staple: Maxi skirt/dress (under $100)

July 19, 2011
Gotta love a skirt that’s easy to wear and has full coverage (no worries about exposing too much leg!)  I love maxi skirts because they are such versatile pieces – it adds a refined air to even a more casual cut.  Maxi skirts get extra points if it can easily become a dress (I have one from Charlotte Solicki and it’s awesome).  I’d definitely consider maxi skirts wardrobe staples because they are relatively season-less and are transforming into classic as opposed to trendy pieces of apparel.Here are some of my favorite maxi skirts:

    I LOVE the Splendid Maxi Convertible Tube Skirt/Dress – gorg!! 🙂

  • Alyson July 19, 2011 at 13:12

    Gorgeous, really want a maxi skirt… have not yet made the plunge, mostly because I haven’t tried any on yet. Need to venture to H&M and F21!

  • LindseyD July 19, 2011 at 13:12

    Beautiful! I love long light-weight dresses in the summer. I saw a really pretty one in InStyle a couple of months ago. It was a blue, patterned Tommy by Tommy Hilfiger. Unfortunately, like all good things in magazines…it has disappeared. Really love the selection you have here though!

  • Josie July 19, 2011 at 13:16

    Oooh, could do with that first one. Although I’ve never bought a maxi skirt. Think I’m too short for some reason.

  • quintessence July 19, 2011 at 13:30

    I am just loving all the new maxi skirts – I have one but it is a little dressier so I don’t feel I can just wear it around. I think I need one more like the gray Splendid example!!

  • {The Perfect Palette} July 19, 2011 at 13:35

    cute skirts!! Great style.

    Gorgeous maxis, loving the first one!

  • Kim July 19, 2011 at 13:49

    Great choices! I just started wearing maxi dresses last year. I always thought I was too short to pull off the look, but the addition of wedge heels works wonderfully.

  • Fashion Me Chic July 19, 2011 at 14:22

    I don’t have a favorite one but I have to say that this yellow dress above is hot.

  • jos xx July 19, 2011 at 18:37
