I’m kind of shocked by this – but my husband loves this skirt. I think this is the first maxi anything I’ve ever heard him say he likes. This makes me very happy :) I think i will now proceed to make 3.

Now here’s the question, would you like a tutorial?

Skirt: Megan Nielsen
Tank: Witchery
Cropped Cardi: Witchery
Belt: Jcrew
Shoes: c/o Wanted
Necklace: Vintage via Ebay
Bangles: Vintage family heirloom from my MIL, 2 from my parents and 1 from Chris
Watch: DIY, get the tutorial here

I don’t know what it is, but there something different about this skirt compared to the other maxi skirts. I just can’t pinpoint it that makes it work. It may the material. It has just the right amount of fullness to it. It looks very elegant on you. This one is certainly a winner. Sure. A tutorial would be great.

I second Trudy’s comment. There is something different about this skirt. Hope I can replicate it :)

So pretty! What sort of fabric did you use? I made a “quick and dirty” maxi recently out of some jersey and *love* it… I pretty much wear it as my “lounge around the house” outfit with a cute top. ;) hehe.

Like Trudy said, there’s something about this skirt that makes it the perfect maxi! I love how it looks so floaty and light, while being so long! So beautiful!
