Maxi Skirts for Spring 2011

 Jill Sander S/S 2011

Hey ladies! So Spring is here (even though the temps are a little chilly) finally! I want to tell you guys about another super cute trend that Miranda and I both love! Maxi Skirts!! I'm a huge fan of maxi dresses, even though I'm short, but maxi skirts are going to be another fave of mine this spring and summer. Before you go "I'm too short/curvy to wear one" I'll share a few tips on how to pull it off effortlessly! Maxi skirts are perfect for when it's a little nippy to wear a mini and too warm to wear pants.

1. Clinching your waist with a cute belt will give you a distinct silhouette. Don't hide your body under too much fabric, define that waist!


2. Because your entire bottom is covered, pair your maxi skirt with a sexy v-neck t-shirt or tank top. Don't be afraid to show a little skin on top.


 

3. Proportion is key. Keep it simple, if your skirt is more voluminous your top should be more fitting.
