Out of the Electric Blue: Bright on Bright Style With a Maxi Skirt

Thursday, January 31, 2013

Let’s end January with a bang! Keep your resolution to be open and more creative with fashion by finding your fashion icon. We’ve pegged this particular style blogger to inspire us to wear our maxi skirts bright!

Style Pantry editor Folake Kuye Huntoon pulls off smart, relaxed, and creative in this outfit we found in Chictopia. It may have been done a couple of years back but something so striking and unlikely just begs to be done again and again!

In her post, Folake Kuye Huntoon mentions that she actually made the sheer blue maxi skirt and even created one in taxi yellow. Then she matched the blue with a red, polka dotted blouse. Genius!

I know what you’re thinking. How many of us actually buy an electric blue maxi skirt? Granted, it’s not the most practical piece but you’ll be surprised how a stand out item in your sea of classics can always be in circulation. If you’re still new at doing the bright on bright style, you can always mix it up with neutrals or tamer hues– until you finally get the hang of it!

Do a Retro Chic Maxi Look Like Rachel Zoe

Friday, January 25, 2013

It’s not everyday that you see such a stylish family on a relaxed day out. But for Rachel Zoe and husband Roger Berman, that’s probably a daily family affair. The celebrity stylist was spotted with her two favorite men, her husband Roger and son Skyler, taking a walk after having lunch at Hugo’s restaurant in Los Angeles.

Rachel looked relaxed and bohemian chic in what looks like a long black maxi dress and short-brimmed straw hat. We say ‘looks like’ because with the slim belt cinched around her waist, it can also be a flowy boho top and a floor-skimming maxi skirt. Genius! To complete the look, she had on platform sandals and a large red cross body bag.

The guys matched her casual affair with denim jeans and blue shirts. Roger’s is plaid while Skyler’s plain one is matched with a khaki cardi. It really is such a gorgeous family!
