One Skirt 3 Ways: Maxi Skirt

One Skirt 3 Ways: Maxi Skirt by mayrabarragan featuring a flower necklace

     A few months ago I bought this LC Lauren Conrad Pink Tulle Skirt at my local Kohl's and ever since then I have loved it! I love maxi skirt but becaouse I am short (5'4) and plus size I never thought I could wear them so I avoided them. But when I saw think muted pink skirt I fell in love with it and I decided to give it a try. Now my rule when buying any item of clothing is that if you don't have at least 3 ways of wearing it then it is not worth the buy, of course there are exceptions but I follow this rule most often. That is the best way to get the most out of your closet. So after I went to the store and tried on and liked how it looked I decided to buy it.

     Above I made a set of the 3 ways that I wear my Pink Tulle Maxi Skirt . . .

• Casual: I wear it with a white v-neck tee, distress jean jacket, black sandals, as for accessories I wear my pastel pink/green/ivory skull bracelets with some gold ball earrings and my Black Ray-Bans.
• Sweet: For my Sweet look I paired the skirt with a beige woven blouse that has ruffle detailed bib, nude scalloped edge flats, and for accessories I wear pale pink flower earrings with a matching gold long pale pink necklace and a multi strand bracelet with small pearls.
• Romantic: Finally for my romantic look I wore my black lace crew neck top, black flats and as for accessories I went simple and wore pearl stud earrings with a pearl bracelet and I wore a pink rose crown on my head.

     These are just a few ways that I wear my maxi skirt. I am so glad that I ended up buying this skirt. It reminds me a bit of a grown up ballerina. It is so sweet and feminine.

Trend to Try: Knitted Headband



All headbands from forever21.com



Last year for Christmas my godmother gave me a pretty knitted headband in a dusty rose color with a flower on the side that was made by hand by my other aunt and I loved it. Not only did I love it because it was made from love but also because it was something different. At that point I hadn't really seen these around where I live which I found really strange because I think they are cute, but this year I've been seeing them sold in stores.

I think these are perfect to wear during the cold months. They keep your ears warm while still making you look cute. Think of it as a chic alternative to beanies. I like wearing mine on my "lazy days" with plain white long sleeve scoop neck shirt from h&m, with dark rinse skinny jeans and my tan Ugg boots. And I also like wearing my sisters red one with white long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, leopard flats and a red knitted scarf. But they are also plenty of stylish ways to wear these, the only limit is your creativity.

 So give them a try this winter season, you might be surprised how great these headband really are, and they really do keep your ears warm.
