Nude and Maxi - Styling ideas

Nude by fourtyand featuring a lace top

Yesterday, I chose tan colors for the office. I combined my maxi skirt with a white lace tee and a light beige leather jacket. My maxiskirt is pleated and a little darker shade than the skirt in this picture. Lighter tones are easy to combine. Nearly every other color goes with it. For the office I styled it more elegantly, therefore I wore high pumps, a classic bag and jewelry in silver and pearls. This way, the maxi skirt is suitable for the office and not only for evening or the beach. 

I like maxi skirts a lot and they fit me well because I am tall. For hot summer days they are very airy and light and you can easily hide white legs, maybe more sturdy calves or hair stubbles. You should put your top into the skirt, it always looks good. To emphasize a small waist, you can wear a belt at yor waist. Sometimes, I combine a cropped top, however, I try not to show my belly. If you prefer longer tops outside, you should definitely wear a belt. I don't like this styling, since it doesn't look very modern. 

For colder days, short jackets - best made of leather or denim look great with the long skirt. I wear high shoes with it or for casual occasions also flat shoes or sandals. These are ideal for the 70s trend. Boots also go very well with this style. 

For every occasion and for every mood there is a styling possibility for the maxi skirt. On my Pinterest board "Maxiskirts" you can get more styling ideas. 

Cannes 2

Rachel Weisz is very beautiful. I like her face a lot, elegant and timeless. 

With her 45 years she was brilliant in a teal silk evening gown. The Prada dress remined me of a Hollywood-Diva. It had a eyehole cleavage and it fitted her expertly. She wore it with glittering earrings and a black clutch. I like the color of the dress very much. The fabric is beautiful but not very figure forgiving. Unfortunately, this dress is only for models and actresses.

Which dress did you like the most in Cannes this year?

Pretty in pastels

Pretty in pastels by fourtyand on polyvore

Today, I wore pastels in the office. Since the weather outside wasn't so nice, I decided to go on the lighter colors. I love pink anyway and my high-waisted jeans are also a very pale shade of denim. Together with the nude pumps and the light tanned bag, it was an appropriate outfit for a rainy day at the office. The center of the look is definetely my pink and white tweed jacket which I like a lot. Mine is from Zara and I bought it already a couple of years back. Chanel-inspired jackets will never go out of style, so I will wear mine for the next 10 years at least and I love the color!
