Fall is quickly arriving around here. One day it is over twenty five degrees and today it is about ten degrees. Maxi skirts are a great staple piece to have in your wardrobe, especially in a very neutral colour. You can pretty much wear this year round. Let me show you how I would style this piece from summer to fall. This skirt retails for 38$ from River Island but maxi skirts are an easy piece to find. 
SUMMER EDITION
For the hot temperatures, I would pair this skirt with a breezy tank in a vibrant colour like the one above (Ardène, 15$). Seeing as this skirt is longer, shoes are not a huge factor but I like to pair them with cute sandals in case you sit down and people can see your shoes. I chose a simple white sandal from ASOS (27$) but you could easily pair it with a cheap pair of flip-flops. I would match my bag to my shoes in this case and get a big white bag that you can carry all your stuff in. This specific one is from debenhams and retails for 48$. Seeing as this outfit is pretty casual, you could pair it with some jewelry to add some classiness to the outfit. If you can afford some hefty things, I would consider purchasing a Michael Kors watch. They are a timeless staple to have. This specific model is 

'Bradshaw' Chronograph Bracelet Watch and retails for 245$ from Nordstrom. Add this bracelet from Aldo which retails for 15$ to spice up the arm candy. If you have pierced ears, you can add these little bow studs from Kohls (10$). If you're more of a ring gal, you can add this beauty of a ring from Aldo which retails for under 10$. Leave your hair au natural and add some Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and a bright pink lip to keep the summer theme.

FALL EDITION
For the fall, pair this maxi skirt with a bright knit sweater such as this H&M wool jumper (24$). Add a striped scarf to keep your neck warm (H&M, 10$) When it comes to footwear, pair this outfit with something casual & comfy such as these mint metallic linen TOMS (47$) to add in a pop of colour. For a bag, I would add a large black bag (JustFab 39$). Spruce up your earlobes with these cute bow earrings (avaadorn.com, 12$). As for hair and makeup, throw your hair up in a sock bun! Keep it very laid-back. Throw some Red Velvet Lip Butter by Revlon on those lips of yours and slap some of OPI's Kyoto Pearl on your nails. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this! Let me know if you have any requests :)
