The mini is out and the MAXI is in!

The trend for the past decade or so of mini skirts, short shorts, and legs that go on for miles may be coming to a close.  It's time for a renaissance and the maxi skirt is returning to blanket the bottom half of the ladies this spring.

Yes, nude heels and sandals are popular and DO add length to those stems - BUT a sultry way to lengthen your look is by letting your hem line down.

The key to the maxi skirt look is a draped fabric and basic color.  No one wants to look like peasants or hippies even if '70s style is coming back.  This undergarment-inspired skirt is sleek and sexy - looking great paired with a boxy tee and chunky jewelry.

Romance is the word when it comes to the maxi skirt.  Who knew covering up could look so good?

This sheer variation from American Apparel comes in several colors, to satisfy everyone's color preference.
Chiffon Double-Layer Full Length Skirt - $58
The maxi skirt can be dressed up and down of course, making it a great running errands around town outfit that transitions to a girls night out dinner.  Add on past season's long-sleeve tee and faux fur vest or silk blouse and leather jacket.  A maxi skirt can be worn with flat sandals or heels depending on the occasion!

Happy hunting fashionistas!

Love, 
LoJo
