READER SUBMISSION

We are so excited to have Annie here today!  Isn't she gorgeous?  I am so happy that Annie emailed us this post, because it lead me to her blog-- which I have spent the past hour perusing.  You guys have to go check it out.  There is some super inspiring stuff over there.  But, in the mean time let's help her out with her maxi question.


***

Hi Roomies!

I'm Annie and I blog about my special little version of mommyhood over at SMARDy Pants

My question today is about a maxi skirt I got in the mail this week.  It is my first (post-1997) maxi.  I am admittedly a little slow to warm to certain trends, and this was one of them.  So it didn't exactly inspire confidence in my already-lukewarm feelings about this skirt when I tried it on and my husband laughed at me and said I looked like I was on my way to a drum circle at the hippie commune.

Skirt: Old Navy   Top: F21   Necklace: Twisted Silver



So...too tribal?  Too hideous?  Should I stay away from maxis?  Or just this maxi?  Help a hippie sister out.

Husbands are the last one to take fashion advice from... haha
I like it, it's a great color & the print isn't too wild. I've recently jumped on the maxi train too - best idea ever. I never want to wear pants again!

Pretty! Love the color! Maybe wear some cute wedges with it to give you some height.. the skirt looks a tad too long.

I love it! It is awesome and you look awesome in it! And Monica and Whitney are right- you are so pretty!

I love this skirt and need it!!:)

You paired it perfectly with the gray shirt and necklace! I would rock this with a denim jacket and a bunch of silver bangles!

Annie, I think it looks great! And what a fantastic color combo!!

Laura said...

I love it on you! I think if you added a fun neon skinny belt would be super cute. And I agree it does look a tad too long, so wedges would be awesome with it.

I also struggle with pulling off this look, but you can ROCK it! and you are beautiful :)

I love it! Love your styling, but it does look a tad long. What shoes are you wearing? Maybe pair it with some chunky heels and you are good to go!

Whatever. Your husband has no idea what he's talking about. You look like a babe. I'm totally loving the maxi look:) You're gorgeous, my friend.
