How to Wear DIY: A little leather, a little edgy

  • 6.18.2012

Mmmmm, early summer. It's finally here.  Still sort of moody weather here, so I'm rocking the transitional looks--it was super hot a little this weekend but is supposed to be back to 61 today.  You never know in Oregon.

But, I love that maxi skirts are still in, been super into them the past few weeks!  I think I want to make myself the perfect light colored maxi dress, but until I find the perfect fabric, I have been wearing a couple of maxi skirts I have.  Over the weekend I paired this tee with a black J.Crew maxi skirt I've had since, about, 2002. ;) Some basics are in style for a looong time!

And it's been a tad humid, hence the frizzy hair. ;)
 Skirt: J.Crew, c. 2002! (similar) Sandals: JC Penney. Bracelet: eBay.
Lipstick: Radiant Flamenco. Necklace: Forever 21 (similar/similar). Tee: DIY!

I wanna know, have you been wearing maxi skirts this spring or summer?  Do you dress yours up or down?

    I'm still looking for the perfect maxi skirt! I guess I could make one..but like you, haven't spotted the "right" fabric! I love this outfit, your hair, and that lipstick color is fabulous! :)

    no maxi skirts for me. I'm really short, so they don't look good on me. At least those I've tried so far.

    And your hair looks great!

      Thanks!
