Bloggers Do It Better #5

by Kristina on July 8, 2011 · 66 comments

The Challenge

I’ll admit that assignment #5 for Bloggers Do It Better didn’t come easily to me. The truth is, we’ve kind of “maxed out” (pardon the pun) Spring 2011′s trends, and I hate to start moving backwards in the seasons. Since we are kind of in-between right now (and I’m pretty sure you don’t want to have a bathing suit “resort-wear” edition), I turned to a perennial trend that is suitable for those of us in tropical heat as well as those still experiencing cooler temps. Enter: the maxi skirt.

Bloggers Do It Better Maxi Skirt Assignment

Ruffles or pleats, tiers or slits, this challenge is pretty open. The only requirement is that it be a maxi skirt (not a dress), for uniformity. That’s it! Any color, any style, dress it up or dress it down. Be yourself, and have fun with it! I’m already thinking about which of my maxi’s to pull out of my closet (this one or this one)…

How to Participate

Please see the official BDIB page for rules (including the required sidebar badge).

Deadline

i do have a post with a maxi dress..but i don't even own a maxi skirt..not one for long skirts as they dwarf me if i dont wear high heels along with it..:(

Kristina July 10th, 2011 at 6:22 am

Oh no! I'm short too, debi, but I love wearing maxi skirts! I just wear mine with super high heels (like my platform Sam Edelman booties). I'm certain you could make it work, if you owned one.

i sure will keep that in mind the next time i go shopping..i can't be left out like this on BDIB challenges..i was so excited last time.

Kristina July 10th, 2011 at 1:13 pm

The only thing I can think of is you can try and wear the maxi dress as a skirt. Anyway, better luck next time!

debi July 10th, 2011 at 1:20 pm: i can do that?then i will give this look a shot.

Great. I can't wait to participate and have to figure out which one of my skirt's to use.

For your choices I definitely like the first one!
