Navy Times Two

blouse (Morton James), belt (HM), skirt (Chico's See Similar HERE c/o), clutch (Clare Vivier, Omar + Elsie also available HERE), sneaks (Vans), heels (Rebecca Minkoff, love THESE and THESE), bracelets (Morton James Cuff, Omar + Elsie, Kate Spade), rings (lagos, Anna Beck), hat (HM, see SIMILAR), necklace (Page Sargisson)

As a single working mom, I've got a certain number of criteria my threads must meet.  Style aside, I opt for pieces that are flattering, comfy, age appropriate, a good investment (think Bags, Denim, and Shades)--meaning am I going to get enough wear out of the pieces to justify the price--but most importantly for me--versatility.  Is the piece going to allow me to wear it in a multitude of ways?  Well this Navy Maxi Skirt definitely meets all of my requirements.  Check.  

I wanted to showcase the Maxi's ability to be easy going and casual with a hat & Sneaks, but also that she can be spruced up with some heels and a patterned Clutch.  Perfect little number for my lifestyle and also moving into the warmer months--although how cute would she be paired with a chunky knit for the fall? It also bears mentioning that while we're revving up for vacations and travel plans, the Maxi is sure to make any Destination Fabulous--easy to toss in the suitcase, and adorable with a slew of summer threads (tunics, tanks, bikini tops, summer sweaters).  
Alright gang, make it a good one---another gorg day in Lex--we'll be grilling out tonight for sure!
