maxi skirt!

Nov022010_0045
After seeing Kim of eat.sleep.wear and Taylor of Sterling Style pull off maxi skirts and dresses seamlessly and so beautifully, I decided I’d give one a try as well! Instead of spending a ton of money on one, I scored one for less than $4 at Goodwill and leopard print no less!
And whoa. I just realized how long my hair is getting. Lately, I’ve noticed an increase of it ending up in my  beverages (and other people’s cups) and generally making it’s way into other people’s personal space. It really has a life of its own. I’ve been growing it out since my heinous hair days of various colors, styles and straightening products. Glad I figured out how to work with my hair. Only took me 22-24 years!

    That skirt is so great!! I love your hair, I straighten it now, but my hair was like that when I was in college and I just could never work with it…

    I love it, what a great thrift find! You styled it up so well!
    I hear you on the hair thing…I am trying to grow mine out at well. I brushed mine out when it was dry today because it was really pissing me off, and now it is HUGE! Major curly hair fail. YOurs is sooo glamorous and amazing looking!

    I didn't know I had curly hair until I was about 20 (I am 27 now) I would force it straight and all it would be was a HUGE puff ball. When I finally found out it was curly, I would pack it sooooo full of gel and product that it would be so crunch. It wasn't until about 1 year ago. I found my glorious hairstylist. He is TO.DIE.FOR!! HE actually knows how to cut curly hair. I no longer put any gel or product in it. Just a little hairspray to keep the frizzies down and WHAAAMO, I am good to go!

    Love the blog 🙂 🙂

    Loving the look, as usual! I just moved out to the East Coast and the other day I wore a maxi dress and someone told me it made me look so midwestern. I wasn't sure if that was a compliment or an insult. But since you are rocking this and midwestern I'm going to think that is a good thing! – Katy

    I just feel like I can't pull off maxi skirts! But then everyone else looks so good in them (ie you, Kim, Taylor) that I want one! But then I remember I'm short and have child bearing hips and I remember why they don't work on my.

    But you look great! Love the matching belt and bag, great detail.

    xoxo, Ashley
