Coral, Floral, Pink, and Navy
I’m still loving pink (always), and my crazy floral pumps, but I’ve also been drawn to coral and navy a lot lately. Here’s what I’ve had my eye on for spring.
1. Button-Up Top
  This is the top I’m wearing in yesterday’s post.
2. Wardour Dress
  So me. I really want this one.
3. Crepe Scalloped Hem Top
  I tried this on in yellow and didn’t realize it came in navy. Navy is far superior.
4. Vintage Glasses
  I have a pair of peach glasses! If I didn’t, I’d be very tempted by these.
5. Fluid Henley Blouse
  Fantastic color. I bought this in the floral print version (#8).
6. Ultra Skinny Printed Pants
  I tend to have good luck with the fit of Gap pants, and these were no exception. Love the print.
7. Brass Chevron Necklace
  I’m always a fan of pink and brass together, especially in simple, modern designs.
8. Floral Fluid Henley Blouse
  My new favorite shirt. Looks fantastic over cropped skinnies or tucked into a pencil skirt.
9. Everly Liberty Art Fabric Pumps
  I do like these more than mine, but mine were much less expensive (and I still like them a lot).
10. Striped Dress
  I have too many striped dresses to add another, but if you’re looking, this is a good (and affordable) one.
11. Structured Crepe Pocket Blouse
  Works better on a more boyish figure than mine, alas.
12. Sailor Skirt
  Hey, sailor.

What Do You Wear with a Maxi Skirt?

I bought a pink ballet maxi skirt the other day. I had to think twice, even with a 25% off coupon in hand, but I love it. It’s so feminine! It’s so beautiful! It’s so impractical!

If I have to bend over to pick something up (say, I don’t know, a child or two), the skirt touches the ground. Fine in a dressing room, not so great when out and about. Yet I still love it.

The skirt nearly grazes the floor if I wear flats, so heels or wedges are a good idea with it. And I kind of have no idea what to wear on top, because I haven’t worn a maxi skirt since I was a teenage goth (and duh, you just wore a black band tee with your black skirt back then). The shirt I tried on with it looks good, but the skirt needs to have more than one partner. I like my clothes to be polyamorous.

Hey there, black and white striped sweater that I saw in the window of J.Crew (and that I can’t afford). I feel like you would go nicely. I want this whole look, actually.

Now that I see how much I like the longer skirt length on me, I’d wear this dress too, but the ballet maxi is the only big clothing purchase for me right now. I know I can find another striped top to wear with the skirt, and a white cotton tee in the right cut would look fantastic too.

It’s times like these that I wish I kept up with fashion blogs and glossies, because I’m sure I’d have a million more ideas. I know the maxi skirt trend has been going strong for a while and I’m just jumping on board now, so any tips?
