Fresh New Fit: The chiffon maxi skirt

By: LL
Even though flowy materials are not necessarily "traditional" for winter, this past season, chiffon maxi skirts (and dresses) have been popping up in fashion (Helena of Brooklyn Blonde's soft chiffon maxi or Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps's pleated chiffon maxi). Maybe you are interested in incorporating this fresh new fit into your wardrobe, but are waiting until warmer days. Why wait? Break out of the traditional concepts of appropriate outfits for winter and pick up a flowy, fun maxi skirt to begin wearing now and into the summer. Below are a few different ways to style this new fit into winter, spring, and summer. I've used the Fantasia Blue version from Express, which is currently on sale for $34.95 - with multiple sizes remaining!

Layered for Winter:

1. Coral Necklace - Stella & Dot
2. Grey Button-Sleeve Cardigan - Old Navy
3. Citrus Button Down - J. Crew
4. Leopard Calfhair Belt - J. Crew
5. Black Leather Day Bag - Coach
6. Grey Faux Suede Booties - Mossimo (Target)

Showing Some Skin for Spring:


1. Silk Scarf - Finley
2. Striped 3/4 Sleeve T-shirt - TopShop
3. Mustard Mini Crossbody Purse - Cole Haan
4. Camel Suede Sandals - Nine West

Stripped Down for Summer:


1. Gold Necklace - Stella & Dot
2. Crocheted Cropped Tank - TopShop
3. Amanda Adams Beach Bag - J. Crew
4. Gold T-Strap Sandals - Frye

Maxi skirts (and similar dresses) are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and price points. I quickly found this Old Navy version in Parading Peacock for only $9.95. And this beautiful Halston Heritage skirt in Coral for a splurge of $425. So, definitely a lot of variety to this fresh new fit.
