maxi up

October 24, 2012

I love maxi skirts styled casually, and as well as dressed up. I think a proper equivalent to Barney Stinson's "Suit Up!," would be "Maxi Up!" Maxi dresses and maxi skirts are classic and perfectly dramatic. This one feels even more luxe with it's a soft gold color and beautiful pleating. I was inspired by Stuart Weitzman's "Walking After Midnight" campaign, created by James Franco, to show how you can wear a chic and feminine look in the evening. It's the perfect after hours outfit!

I hope you all are having a great Wednesday! 
I'm feeling slightly under the weather so I'm taking Emergen C and some cold medicine around the clock. 
I need to fight this thing!
