What I'm Wearing | Perfect Combination: Chambray Shirt + Maxi Skirt!
10:00 AM
For the last couple of years, they go-to clothing item of spring and summer is the maxi skirt. And one of it's perfect partners is the chambray shirt.
Inspired by Pinterest
A chambray shirt and maxi skirt is a perfect transitional outfit.
On a day like yesterday where the temps hovered around the mid-60s, this was a fabulous way to still represent a boho-chic spring.
Any color or print maxi would work great with a chambray shirt. But I chose my yellow maxi, because y'all know how I feel about the color yellow!

DeleteOh, I love this! I love maxi skirts and dresses, and your skirt is beautiful! and yellow! <3
ReplyDeleteJust too lovely.
ReplyDeleteI feel like heading straight down to the fabric shops.
Is this a gathered skirt. Looks like 3-4 metres of fabric
Zoeope, it is! Very easy. Thanks!
DeleteFantastic as always! I love the yellow.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly!
Deleteso glad i didnt give my jean shirt away!!! yellow is your color. nice look!
ReplyDeleteThanks gg!
DeleteGorgeous!! I did the same last Friday with my fav floral diy maxi skirt. You would think I had on a two-piece thong bikini the way people were staring (I don't think everyone's ready for spring/summer...SHAME on them)!
ReplyDeleteLoving that yellow! You are SERVING the camera in that "sitting on the bench" pose! :)
Regardless of the mercury, it's spring. They need to get over it! LOL Thanks Divamazon!
DeleteSuper cute! A maxi skirt is my new go-to item as well. Casual and comfy, but sophisticated and on trend all at the same time. I expect to make several before the summer is through!
ReplyDeleteThanks katahdinchicklet!
DeleteFab combination!
ReplyDeleteIf the skirt is gathered (and un-hemmed?) is it as straightforward as sewing a band at the top and inserting elastic? Or am I over-simplifying?
Abby
That's pretty much it. Just that simple. Thanks!
DeleteGorgeous Erica!
ReplyDeleteThanks Candice!
DeleteI love the structure of the top and the flow of the maxi. And the chambray and yellow is so summery! Love it! If only we weren't heading into winter... ;)
ReplyDeleteAmanda, this would make a great transitional outfit in either direction. Thanks!
DeleteLove this look! Thanks for being such an inspiration when it comes to pairing up pieces. I'm definitely not creative on my own and get a lot of ideas from your blog! Now I just need to execute some of these looks. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Levone!

ReplyDeleteThanks Tracie!
DeleteLove the maxi skirt and the gorgeous yellow color! What pattern did you use for this maxi? I need to make me a maxi this summer. I have a gorgeous bamboo in yellow that would be perfect for a maxi skirt. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteIt's a maxi skirt... no pattern needed. Just to pieces of fabric seam on the sides and elastic at the waist. It didn't even require a hem!
DeleteGlad I was searching for a pattern and came across your blog. I love it!
