Oye With the Maxi Skirts Already!

Alternative name for this post: "Halloween in July"




Skirt and Top: Forever21, here and here/Bag: Michael Kors/Shoes: Aldo/Headband: F21/Necklace: LOFT (old)/Watch: MbyMJ/Shades: Ray-Ban/Bangle: F21 (similar here)/Nails: Revlon, "Lily"

I really hope none of my readers are vehemently opposed to maxi skirts.  But let's be honest, if they were they probably would have stopped following me by now anyway.  This skirt is actually advertised on Forever21's site as a "midi" skirt, but I'm not sure to whom this would be a midi skirt.  Maybe to all those super models out there shopping at Forever21.

I digress.

Let's talk about this shirt for a hot sec.  This cut-out shoulder situation is one of my favorite trends going on right now (besides maxi skirts that is).  It hints at a subtle sexiness, without being at all trashy.  I mean, if you were wearing just a tank top you'd certainly be showing more skin than this, but just the inherent nature of cut-outs, skin is exposed where you expect fabric to be, makes the piece more alluring and visually interesting.  I know, quite the analysis of a $14 top, right?

So tell me ladies (and by all means gentlemen) have you tried the cut-out shoulder trend?

Oh, p.s. This isn't the last maxi skirt.  I have a really exciting one coming up soon. Hint: It's MINT!

p.p.s. It's not too late to get your arm party started by entering my Tara Lane Designs giveaway here!
