A very simple ensemble today to showcase the beautiful vintage maxi skirt (from Germany!) I found on Boxing Day of all days. The rounded, pleated waistline is oh so flattering and differentiates it just enough to place it in a class all its own. These were taken on a perfectly windy day and the skirt flowed beautifully in the breeze!
Last month I mentioned in my Flare Magazine feature that Amrita Singh is my current favourite jewelry designer. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when they kindly sent over these pretty Breese earrings. Check back in a few days for a chance to win a pair of your own, valued at $100USD!
P.S. I apologize for the blurriness in some of the photos, they were snapped quickly and in low light!
Wearing: BB Dakota jacket, ProperTy tshirt (best tees ever!), vintage maxi skirt, Halston Heritage flats, earrings courtesy of Amrita Singh
Gorgeous outfit! And especially love your nails and lipstick!
I think Kileen from cute and little has the same jacket! I like it on both of you! You look so elegant in that maxi skirt – it really elongates your body. How tall are you? 😀

that skirt is so perfecT!
Love the maxi skirt. You look absolutely adorable in this outfit. You wear the bright red lipstick so well. I’ve tried to wear the same color last week but it didn’t look so good on me.
Oh my word, this outfit is stunning! I love the simple, classic black and white, the jacket adds some fun and pattern and the gold accessories are PERFECT.
That maxi skirt is gorgeous on you! I really, really love this. You look fantastic!
You look gorgeous my dear. I love this outfit. white and black are always timeless and beautiful! 🙂

Holy smokes you look SO ELEGANT and gorgeous in these photos! Utterly breathtaking. I love this outfit head to toe and would wear it in a heartbeat. Wow. And it sure doesn’t hurt either that you’re GORGEOUS!
That skirt is so delicate, and I love the beautiful earrings. . 🙂
you look great!
Simple, elegant, and beautiful. I love how the maxi skirt adds drama, and seeing how good it looks on you just goes to disprove the notion that petite girls can’t wear maxi skirts without looking short!
Gorgeous! I’ve been loving the maxi dress trend but beeing a shorted legged person I am having such a hard time finding one that isn’t insanely long.
Your vintage one is so flattering – I wish it was in my closet =P

You look so wonderful, girly! I love the maxi skirt. The waist is genius and I love the look of the jacket with it. I don’t know that I would’ve thought to do that. Congrats on the earrings! I love Amrita Singh! It’s so cool how fashion blogging opens up opportunities for designers and their admirers to connect, you know?
Enjoy your weekend! xo
Wow love your jacket and skirt!! x

The skirt is beautiful. I reminds me of those tuxedos where they have that band for the waist.
I will definitely check back as those earings are beauitful
Jen! If I haven’t congratulated you yet on the feature.. then congrats! 😉
The maxi skirt is all kinds of amazingness! If we lived closer and I was as teeny as you, I’d ask to borrow it!! Well, this is, if you wanted to share. hee hee. I’ve been wanting a long chiffon maxi for so long, and have found serveral that I really like, but I’m also not willing to spend a couple hundred on one. :/ So, I bought black chiffon a couple months ago, in hopes of sewing myself a skirt, but still haven’t gotten around to making one. Hopefully soon!
Well, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far my dear… and I voted for you! Can we only vote once? Or can we vote everyday?
xx Love & Aloha
p.s. I’m also lovin’ you earrings! I’d love a pair for myself. 🙂
