Timing

What I'm wearing: Victoria's Secret PINK tee, Forever 21 maxi skirt, Banana Republic outlet sandals, H&M necklace, Vintage cuff bracelet

I've been looking for a maxi skirt since early spring, and I finally found one...right when summer is about to end. Rather unfortunate timing, but I'm determined to get some good use out of it before it gets too chilly out. And did I mention it was only $13?! Yes, I give you permission to stop whatever you're doing right now and run to your nearest Forever 21 and snag one for yourself. Come on, you know you want to! I wore this outfit on Tuesday night for dinner with an old friend who I hadn't seen since before I left for New York. I was so happy I got to see her before I left again for Columbus. As you're reading this, I'm back in Columbus, sitting here in gym clothes looking very unglamorous, but sometimes that's necessary when you've had a whole day of moving boxes and organizing. I'm looking forward to sharing pictures with you of the new place all decorated up with my DIYs once my internet is installed (hopefully by Monday). Until then, have a good weekend!

To the Max(i)

Last night, my roommate texted me from across the apartment (yes, we're that lazy) to tell me about a dress she was thinking about ordering online. I promptly pulled out my laptop and hopped on over to Modcloth to see said dress (the Style on the Side dress), and while I was on the site, I decided to browse around a little. And then I found this...

Basic Wonder skirt

I've recently developed a mild obsession with all things maxi. I had my eye on this skirt from American Apparel, but it was a little pricier than I was willing to pay for a trend that I'm trying out for the first time. So when I spotted this Basic Wonder skirt ($32, one left, and in my size!), I had to give it a go. So I once again caved to the temptation that is Modcloth. So now that I'm a proud owner of a maxi skirt, how do I wear it? I need help from all you fashionistas! How would you style up this maxi skirt for spring/summer?

Update: Just joined Pinterest (thanks Amy!), so check out my stylish inspiration board to see how other ladies are rocking their maxis.
