What first caught my eye about this skirt was the ombre effect–this is enhance by the bottom part of the skirt not having a “slip” under it. Plus, it’s flowy and cool for summer temperatures! Maxi skirts are very versatile, and can be dressed up or dressed down depending on what look you’re going for. Here, I’ve pair the maxi skirt with a tee to dress it down and a cami + cardi to dress it up. Both looks are work appropriate, but would transition well to a night out!
OUTFIT 1: Casual and Cute
To dress down a maxi skirt, throw on a tee. For plain maxi skirts, I think that graphic tees look adorable! Since this maxi skirt was patterned, I opted for a simple ivory tee and tossed on a statement necklace to pull the look together. A statement necklace + tee is one of my all-time favorite looks and super versatile!

OUTFIT 2: Dolled-Up for Date Night
I picked up this cardigan when we were on vacation in Charleston. I’m really drawn to anything beached/nautical themed, so those seahorses suckered me in! I tucked in my shirt for this look, but I think it could work with the shirt untucked as well, so long as the shirt is form-fitting.

Cute skirt! I love the sequin accent top in the first outfit. I have my eye out for one!
I love that sea horse cardigan! So cute. Love these Wardrobe Re-Wear posts!
Thanks! I have the tee in ivory and pink, since they were super cheap when I got them.
Thanks! I've enjoyed them too. Sometimes I have posts that I want to write, but then they're so hard to write when I sit down to do it. These just flow!
