Outfit of the Day: A Maxi Skirt
Honestly, I am not crazy about this look. I am not sure why I posting it here for you all to see because the photo quality is terrible and the sun is shinning right on my head. These photos are just bad, so sorry! I actually in real life wear what I blog, lots of blogs do not! I do not play dress up and just shoot for fun. I actually wear it all day and have Coach take photos of me sometime when we are together during the day. So again, sorry for the bad photos, but I wanted to show you the look anyways.
So many chic girls can pull off this darling look, but I for some reason feel kind of silly in this. This is just way out of my comfort zone. I bought this black Maxi skirt at H&M, and my simple stripe top is from a local boutique. How do you feel about this look on me? I tried to take some photos that made me look normal and cute, but they just did not come out as great as I thought they would. If you like this look on me, make me feel like it looks cute! Tell me what you think about this and what I can do to improve on the skirt and make it fit my style a little more. I need your opinions and help.

I can’t get into the maxi skirt/dress look either. I feel like it always looks like waaaaaay too much material on me.
I know you said you were not a fan of the look, but I really like it!
Try wearing it around your waist instead of your hips. That should help. I think you look super cute. I love wearing mine!
looking fab!
It is hard to wear something that you are not comfortable in. Not being comfortable in something can make your photos and attitude just seem . . . off. I like the way that this looks on you, but if you don’t like it, or don’t feel comfy, it can put a damper on what you wear. Some styles that are “in” are just not for everyone and that’s ok! I also admire that you actually wear what you photograph all day. I do so as well on my blog. Honesty is the only way to go! And PS-I love your striped top!
I love that you’re so “real”. I also only wear what I blog. I don’t just play dress up either. If I do have to change at the last minute (like a too low cut top!), I try to shoot a pic of that.
Love this look on you! It is difficult to wear something all day when you’re uncomfortable. Would you feel more comfortable wearing the skirt higher up w/ a wide belt?
I think it looks cute! I love the maxi on you. Maybe try pairing it next time with a simple white tee or solid colored top.
I am the same way and only post what I actually wear. I’m not a model so dressing up and posing for the camera in lavish looks isn’t my thing =)
I LOVE wearing maxi skirts and dresses! I agree with Ashley- you may what to wear it a little higher up on the waist versus the hips. Also, I always wear my shirts out (untucked) so you could try that!
maybe pairing it with a tank top instead of the long sleeved shirt. I think it is just too much fabric on you.

it makes you look super slim! but then if you’re not comfortable in it then maybe it’s not meant to be 🙂 x
I think it’s a cute look!! Is the skirt to big?? I’d get a smaller size and wear it high around your true waist! I’d also pair it with a wedge to just elongate the whole look!
