I bought this pink ballet maxi skirt earlier in the month, and posted about not being sure how to pull it off. I still need to find a good black and white striped top (what kind of blogger am I to not own one!?), but I’ve owned the skirt for three weeks and worn it three times. Pretty good for a completely impractical item of clothing, I’d say.

Leather Obi Belt
Similar — mine was from Anthropologie. -
Fanned Alloy Necklace
Similar — mine was from J.Crew. -
Regina Wedges
You’ve seen these before. -
Brass Teardrop Bangles
Similar — I’ve had mine for ages. -
All of Blushing Bag
OK, this would probably rip the skirt to shreds. “Look out kids, mama’s got her spikes today!”

May 24, 2012 at 8:03 amYou look great! This is such a nice combo.
A couple of weeks ago you posted an instagram with a flowery pencil skirt that matched the gift wrap in your hands. You also had fabric flowers on the white shirt – it looked stunning. Could you do a post on that look?

May 24, 2012 at 9:08 amYour post really made me smile today. I love the soft feminine fabric and color choice, the muted “antiquey” hues which compliment so beautifully.
But what has me really smiling, is that like you, I spent a great deal of my youth in a uniform of BLACK. And now, here we are embracing and loving the feminine, beautiful lines of a pleated baby pink maxi skirt. It feels good, doesn’t it?
You look gorgeous.

May 24, 2012 at 9:24 amHow dreamy! I don’t own any maxi skirts, but I’m thinking that needs to change soon…

May 24, 2012 at 9:38 amNice! I found that maxi skirts are no more impractical than long slacks; they just take a little getting used to, like everything new. Nowadays I actually own more maxi skirts than shorter ones!

May 24, 2012 at 12:50 pmOh, you look amazing! So feminine and elegant. I found your blog recently, and you make me smile every day. Now I might have to find a skirt like that for myself. Wonder if it will be hot in 100 degree weather.

May 24, 2012 at 2:46 pmI just started reading your blog and found the dinosaur murals you painted for your nephews. I love them! I really want to do the paint-by-number mural also. As a short/squat kind of gal, I shall enjoy the pink maxi skirt vicariously through you! Great blog.

May 24, 2012 at 5:59 pmI love mixing the green belt with your pink skirt! Precious choice.
I got an olive-green maxi skirt last year and I haven’t been able to figure out how to pair it but your post reminded me of a pale-pink men’s button down that would look super fantastic.
Love your blog, by the way. Long time listener, first time caller. ;)

May 24, 2012 at 6:06 pmYou should be able to find some really GREAT 3/4 sleeve black and white stripe tops from both Target and Old Navy, actually. I also found some great cardis is colors that would work from there too. (I recently jumped on the maxi band wagon too!- so fun being an adult- right!)

May 24, 2012 at 8:03 pmThis is so gorgeous – so feminine without being too fussy! I’m heading out to look for one and the shoes are ab fab!

May 26, 2012 at 10:09 amYou definitely pulled this off SO well!
Oh and the peonies are like pom-poms who are cheering you on – so very pretty!
I finally planted some of them in my front yard -although blooming season is almost over, hoping they can turn out great next year – all happy like yours!

May 27, 2012 at 9:43 amI love anything pink, and I’ve wanted a pink pleated maxi for the longest time. This skirt suits you so well! I don’t think it’s impractical at all! Looks great.
Hope you have fun in lovely Toronto! Maybe we’ll bump into each other :)
