Maxi skirts are great for summer! They’re light and airy, and I really like how they blow in the wind. This maxi and floral top are from my Mother’s Day shopping spree. I was a little concerned about the color and whether I would be able to pair it with enough tops, but in the end I decided it was definitely worth it the risk because it’s so pretty. I wore this outfit to have lunch with Nick, and then go grocery shopping with Sebastian. Lately my days consist of playing with Sebastian, grocery shopping, and then going for after-dinner walks in the evenings. It’s really nice but I think I’m ready to get back out there into the working world. And this outfit is perfect for doing just that!

With this heat (and gross humidity we’ve had in NC) I want my clothes to be light and comfortable, but I don’t want to wear a plain t-shirt all the time so I was drawn to this top as soon as I saw it. The colors are so pretty and the pattern is really fun, and it has a few interesting details like the cute sleeve to give it a little something extra. All that makes it perfect for casual errand running or an office setting.

The thing I think I love most about maxi skirts are that they’re super easy to dress down or up. I swapped out my flats for some cute wedges and it still looks amazing!
