This maxi is stellar on you! I'm still trying to find a maxi skirt or dress that would work for me, because I think they look awesome and I just need to find the right one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598569 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:05:44 +0000 Sara L. 598569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like maxi skirts and dresses. I don't really understand the bias against them. I think your's looks especially good. I recently received a maxi dress as a gift and am really enjoying all the different ways I can style it (and it's not even summer yet!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598453 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:18:37 +0000 fashionista 598453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Truly, madly, deeply in love with your look esp the 1 with the white jacket on. No suggestions to give you any!!! And I think embellished strapped flats would look great with that skirt. Oh I so love your belted look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598452 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:14:16 +0000 ManidipaM 598452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me like maxi! Janet, this is a superb look. GREAT choice of print and silhouette, very clever colour combinations and layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598379 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:38:18 +0000 Deborah 598379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is how it's done Janet Im not a maxi lover but seriously this looks amazing. Please wear this frequently </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598234 Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:30:51 +0000 Aida 598234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm one of those not-usually-a-maxi-fans but I really like this outfit Janet! I really like the springy white and turquoise here. If the skirt is this length with flat sandals I think platforms are going to be a bit too high. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598144 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:47:19 +0000 Anonymous 598144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Every now and then I see a maxi that really looks good on someone. This is one of those times! I love the styling and whatever shoes you have on are working. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598140 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:40:53 +0000 Mona 598140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this is how we make maxi's work!!!Love your outfit! wonderful styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598120 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:38:20 +0000 Ana 598120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is outstanding, Janet! I love how you've styled the maxi, especially with the white denim jacket. It looks very cool and chic. I love this! I'm taking notes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598098 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:19:43 +0000 Sarah 598098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this with the jacket. shh...I'm a maxi-lover! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598087 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:11:19 +0000 Jonesy 598087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great, especially with the jacket. Somehow I'm not so keen on that belt, but I'm in the minority, obviously :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598074 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:00:25 +0000 Shu 598074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! I love maxis and you're wearing this ensemble beautifully. Personally, I prefer the almost floor-grazing length you're sporting to a larger gap that platforms may produce. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but I feel it's a more elegant and elongating look. You can always try it with platforms and see what you think :). I think it's a matter of preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598061 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:39:23 +0000 san 598061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the pattern on the skirt and they way you have styled it. You did a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-598059 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:39:00 +0000 biscuitsmom 598059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! I love how you styled this also </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597971 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:52:34 +0000 Sarah A 597971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>more maxi love from me! i like that the pattern is modern and geometric, as my usual objection to maxi's is that they look too boho for me. great outfit and like the red bag and blue shirt to make a bright contrast with the neutrals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597966 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:46:39 +0000 Meredith1953 597966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!!! You look so beautiful in a maxi! I love the white denim jacket with it. You are so nice and tall. I don't consider myself short but I always feel like I'm dressing up in my mama's clothing when I attempt dresses or skirts that are that long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597964 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:44:07 +0000 K. Period. 597964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*ENVY* You are exactly the reason that maxis are so tempting! You look great in this. The proportions would never work for me, but on you this is gorgeous! As you said, slouchy, cool, effortless looking. Just beautiful! And now I have new inspiration on how to style my layered, striped 3/4 length dress this summer. You rock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597960 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:38:56 +0000 Kiwichik 597960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597942 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:58:14 +0000 Diana 597942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray for maxis! I really like how you have styled it here with the blue and the white... so fresh and cool looking. I think you can definitely do platforms underneath - I've worn my grey maxi with platform clog booties underneath and it worked out great, so I'm definitely planning to wear it w/ my platform sandals in the summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597940 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:57:01 +0000 rae 597940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, now I'm kicking myself for passing up a $1 maxi over the weekend!</p> <p>My objection to them is usually that they look too formal or too bohemian - the print you chose is actually casual, cool, and YOU, so I love the look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597920 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:30:02 +0000 celia 597920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very good on you. Love everything about it.<br /> Regarding the platforms, personally I prefer this style with flatter shoes but I think the lenght of this skirt would allow platforms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597918 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:29:28 +0000 Janet 597918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad it's getting some love so far! Looking at the pictures, I was thinking it really does accentuate how short-torsoed I am (or if I look at it more positively, how long my legs are!), but I think the belted tee is doing some of that. The tee alone definitely seemed to need something to break it up, hence the belt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597916 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:27:09 +0000 citygirldc 597916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks horrible... JUST KIDDING!!!! </p> <p>Love this look on you and the proportion are just right on you. I like the idea of a maxi dress/skirt but haven't really thought of getting one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597912 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:23:49 +0000 Astrid 597912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, the proportions look perfect! I always loved maxis, but all my old ones weren't acceptable in YLF terms and were purged some time ago. But I think I'll definitely buy a new one if I find one that looks as great on me as this one looks on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597909 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:21:43 +0000 Anonymous 597909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the white and red to brighten the outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597903 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:18:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 597903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AMAZING! Really. Truly. Honestly. Seriously. YOWZA! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597902 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:17:24 +0000 catgirl 597902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Janet - this is smashing on you! Maxis are difficult but your proportions are perfect for them. I really like the styling. Sorry I have no suggestions as I am maxi-challenged... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-maxi-in-summery-weather#post-597901 Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:15:41 +0000 Janet 597901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know maxis aren't popular around YLF, so this won't be everyone's cuppa. I like how cool and casual they can be while still covering up a bit. You know, like when you don't feel like shaving your legs everyday. </p> <p>This is my first outing of a new maxi skirt from Nordstrom Rack, with some old favorites: my Angie-approved white denim workhorse jacket, flat black sandals, an old thrifted belt, teal tee, and my new red Marc Jacobs bag, which is also turning into a workhorse.</p> <p>Styling suggestions on this skirt welcome -- do you think it's long enough to wear with platforms? </p>
