STYLE MAXI-MIZATION

It is finally starting to feel like summer, which means I will be living in skirts and dresses for the next few months! While the weather is nicer, I do have to be weary of the cooler evenings, planning outfits accordingly, especially since I don't always go home after work but end up drinking wine or doing some other fancy thing with one of my friends or colleagues. This is where the ever-perfect maxi skirt comes into play; a flowy skirt that covers your legs for the chillier weather, but keeps you cool during the day with its sexy, above the knee slits on both sides. Today's choice was high-wasted, a look I often run from, but one that was appropriate and comfortable for this occasion. I created a more bronzed makeup look which really highlighted my face in all the right places, and gave me the glow I will hopefully achieve naturally over summer after spending lots of time in the sun. But until then, the power of makeup saves the day and helps me look "sun kissed" instead. This outfit is extremely versatile- you can pair it with heels and a nicer shirt for a fancier occasion, or a t-shirt and flats, like I did, when you are just going to a garden party to drink and watch the Real Madrid soccer game with friends. Either way, it's the perfect spring outfit for any occasion. #dianasays
