Feels Like a Maxi Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine went by so fast that I am not sure I really had one. So, when I woke up this morning it felt like a Maxi Monday. A maxi skirt is one of my go to pieces when the weather gets warm. It is comfortable and stylish. I think the maxi skirt looks great on all body types. One detail that is important to me when I am purchasing a maxi is its length. I don't want a skirt  that ends above my ankles, but I don't want it to drag on the ground either. This skirt is one of my favorite thrift finds and I wore it last here.  Last time I posted it, I wore it with a plain white tee, but I am really trying to work on mixing prints and I must say that I love it with this J.Crew pink gingham shirt.

I also added my new vintage bracelet that I got for a steal at $3.99. Nothing says spring more than a floral bracelet.

If you want to get a vintage bracelet like mine, Esty is always a great option. I found all of these vintage flower bracelets available on Etsy.

Do you have a favorite bracelet? What are your thoughts on the maxi?

  3. Hi there, saw your pic over at Visible Monday and wanted to tell you that I love your outfit! As a huge lover of both vintage and maxis and bracelets, your outfit ticks all my boxes! The print on your skirt is beautiful, and it works very well with the gingham shirt.

  6. I'm sure you get this all the time, but you look like so much like Anne Hathaway... who is gorgeous! I love maxis during the summer too, especially on Mondays! =) It's my "prickliest" day of the week. lol

  8. Yes, please. Works very well, dear Carrie! Also, you remind us that as the temperature rises, the hemlines can go way down to provide some summery freedom. Love to see what you're doing! Always!

  9. You look great. Love the print on the skirt. It reminds me of a quilted maxi dress I ended up selling on eBay (and always regretted it).

    It's beautiful. I love the jewelry too.
