THE MAXI SKIRT

This floor length maxi skirt is actually a dress from Witchery. It works a lot better as a skirt, even though styling it is a bit challenging due to its bright printed nature. What I love most about this skirt/dress is the flowiness and lightness of the fabric making it perfect for hot summer days. I wore this outfit to an outdoor lunch; the cotton felt breathable and the fabric was not sticking to my body.

I decided to style the skirt with more prints...going for a print on print look. I knew it was a risky move; usually you would want to tone down a printed piece with a mono colored piece.  

The bra top is one of my favorite trends, it allows you to show off a little bit of flesh without feeling too exposed.  The playfull, almost tribal yellow pattern is what attracted to this bratop. I added a beaded neck piece to complete the look. I love beaded statement neck pieces. I felt the tibal feel brought my the beads would complement the tribal print on the top.

I guess this look is not your typical laid back maxi dress look at all; it's a little hard working, a little complex but it really felt comfortable..which is essential for any look.
