I've been dreaming of trying out the MAXI SKIRT trend but I can't due to the following reasons:

* I don't have a long dress anymore which I can use as a maxi skirt, I gave it all away. HAHA.

* I don't have a maxi skirt, and I'm still in the process of searching ;)

* I am too scared to try. YES, I'm that scared to leave my comfort zone. I'm thinking of a lot of things like it may not suit my personality, I might not carry myself in such trends, etc. But I am being inspired by a lot of bloggers in chictopia and lookbook. I see a lot of people wearing maxi skirt and I wanna give it a try! Also the quote "Dress for yourself not for other people" stucks into my head now. Like what I've said in my previous post, you'll never know if it looks good if you've never tried it out.

So I dragged my boyfriend with me in my MAXI SKIRT search. I am initially in search of a sheer one but I ended up getting the one i'm wearing.

Sheer top, semi sheer maxi skirt plus color blocked bag is a slight indicator that the hotness of summer is already coming.

Wore flats because I'm going to do lotsa errands today. That's why I wore a sheer top as well. I want everything to be comfy! What I love about owning a maxi skirt is that you is is unlimited. You can style it in many ways. Tie it to become shorter, make drapes by pinning up one side, etc.

Now, my target is to have a printed/colored maxi skirt!

Be inspired and spread the fashion word!

They say unique pieces are often found in vintage pieces and true fashionistas appreciate it.

One chictopia style icon I know often mix her vintage pieces with modern ones which makes her look extraordinary yet fabulous - Aisa Ipac.
