My Recent Infashuation: Maxi Shirts


Getting bored of your usual winter look? Try a maxi skirt! I used to picture maxi skirts as s flowing white or floral skirt that you would wear on a warm summer day. However, my latest infashuation is maxi skirts for the winter! I recently bought two ( a black one and a gray one, both a jersey knit) but it took me a little while to gather up the courage to wear them! It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to wear a maxi shirt, I just didn’t know where to wear it (I didn’t want to look like a total diva!). When I finally did, I got a lot of complements and didn’t feel overdressed (even though I was just going to class!) So if you’re interested in this look but not quite sure how to pull it off here’s some tips:
  • Wear a simple top and tuck it in
  •  If you need some height, wear heeled boots (flats and combat boots also work well with the look)
  •   Wear an interesting belt or statement necklace
  • Pair a fitted maxi skirt with a chunky sweater and suede booties
  • Extra chilly outside? Wear tights underneath for warmth!
If you think you can pull it off (or act like you can) then everyone else will believe it! The most important accessory when trying a new look is confidence! A bonus to the maxi skirt? The look can be carried in to spring!

BE MINE?

Don’t have a valentine for the quickly approaching holiday? Not to fret, you aren’t alone on the disliked mushy day! Just because you haven’t found prince charming yet, doesn’t mean you can’t show a little love for February 14th. Gather up some fellow single ladies and celebrate with heart cookies and sappy love movies (I’ll just stick with the cookies). Make valentines for your friends, have conversation hearts with every meal, or decorate your room! I LOVE Valentine’s Day! Any excuse to wear pink, eat candy, and make cute cards is good with me! I highly recommend being your own valentine! Who knows what you love better than yourself? Here are a few Valentine’s Day presents (from Urban Outfitters) you might want to buy yourself!
