For the Love of Maxi Skirts
Posted January 30, 2017
on:I think the reason I was so inspired about my recent Nina Proudman obsession ,
is because of her so many outfits with maxi dresses and skirts…
So I decided to go through my own looks with maxi skirts to see where I’ve been
as I look forward to where I’d like to be going with my love of maxi skirts…
Warning I made this longer than I anticipated…
I wore this outfit this Fall, but could easily change it up to add
boots for a more Nina Inspired winter outfit..
Here, it’s hard to see , but I took a basic graphic tee
and tied a pink sash around my waist to blouse it a bit..
I think a white maxi is so versatile for Summer and have barely
scratched the surface of ways to style it…
A tucked in crotchet detail top, has a bit of boho charm without being over the top.
Paired with wedges for summer here, but I could add a leather jacket
and boots to winterize this one.
a velvet floral top and obi belt made this plain skirt
appropriate for a special date night .
A gingham top, knotted at the waist
is a very casual weekend way I wore a maxi
This orange skirt isn’t quite long enough to qualify as a maxi skirt, but
the idea of a striped tank and denim vest is a sound one for a maxi skirt look.
A striped straight maxi skirt with peplum t-shirt
and classic jean jacket…
Switching my sandals to navy suede boots with
make this a great Nina Proudman inspired version.
If only I hadn’t gained weight, lol as I couldn’t fit this skirt right now…
This striped one with white jean jacket, might just be one of
my all time favorite looks….
With a thrifted crotchet detail sweater.
I think I’d like to take a nod from Nina Proudman
and lighten this look up with a white top instead of the black.
This is a maxi dress with a sweater over top, and jean jacket,
another favorite.
This could easily be more Nina inspired by adding in boots and a scarf.
This black top was another outfit I wore for a date night.
I like this as is and wouldn’t change a thing,
except to perhaps wear one of my sister’s necklaces.
This time I patterned mixed with polka dot sweater
and floral wedges. This showcases a very different side of me
that is not at all boho, lol
If I switched my with slip on sneakers for grey
suede tall boots, it would be a great Nina inspired version.
Imagine how many different bright solid colored scarves could be
added to make this a very versatile outfit formula.
Once again switching mu flats for boots and adding
a scarf would add more boho chic flair I am craving…
These colors just scream Fall to me…
I’d love to try this skirt with a pair of boots, sweater and scarf too.
This version with a bomber jacket and flats…
I’d like to try this one with my red leather jacket and boots for winter.
A cute ruffled neckline t-shirt and vest.
I think a light kimono over the t-shirt in the shorter lengths
that Nina Proudman wears a lot , would be a great way to switch
this to a more boho inspired version.
I absolutely adored this when I wore it.
I loved these short sleeve sweaters, but feel they are more
conservative than I’d like these days…
I hope to try this with a kimono type sweater.
A lace baseball shirt , is definitely a surprise to
pair with a maxi skirt.
Layering a few necklaces might make up the boho vibe of this look.
This one I actually paired with boots and a scarf, lol
If I had paired this with a jean jacket, it would be more Nina Proudman style.
I think my maxi lengths for flats don’t work to well with boots,
so perhaps that is why I haven’t done this more often and a problem
I’d need to solve….
Well this makes 20 outfits with maxi’s so I think
it’s time to stop, lol…
I think this open weave jacket is boho enough to keep for my
new direction of how I would like to wear maxi skirts.
and a good thing too as I own it in hot pink and yellow as well.
Dear Readers, If you made it this far reading this,
Thanks for hanging in as I went down memory lane to see where I have been
as I begin to switch my style as I look forward to Spring and Summer…

So many cute looks. I think my favs are the striped skirt with the white jean jacket and the one with the lace baseball shirt. You look great in hats, also!


Normally I do not wear long skirts. After seeing the cute ways you have styled I may branch out.
Thank you for sharing these cute looks
I can’t pick just one favorite!!!


I love maxi calipers, too. I loved seeing how you styled yours.
