Two Ways to Wear Denim Maxi Skirt in Summer: Printed and Plain Tanks

Last time I did a ways to wear post on this skirt it was winter. I've been wearing it a lot lately so thought it was time to do a 2 ways to wear post for summer, with some basic tanks.

Despite the chambray being a bit of a pain to iron I'm really glad I got this skirt. I'd been thinking about a denim maxi for a while before I got this one. I still have a lot of outfit ideas for it. It's so simple to wear.

What I wore:

Balenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete SGH | AwayFromTheBlue
SunglassesRay-Ban new Wayfarers
Necklace: Ruby Olive Softies Charlotte teething necklace
TankAtmos & Here Oregon stripe tank
SkirtNoisy May long denim maxi skirt
Shoesblack slim Havaianas thongs
BagBalenciaga giant hardware Day bag in 2009 tempete

Why I wore it:

It had been a while since I last wore this striped tank and it met a few of the days style challenges on Instagram. I wasn't sure how the trapeze style tank would work with the voluminous maxi skirt but half-tucked in it works.

I tend to do a half-tuck with most of my tops, it's a style trick I use when looking for different ways to wear things as well as when I need to stop things overwhelming my petite frame. I really liked this outfit, ideal for running a few errands. I liked it last time I wore this chambray skirt with stripes too.

NailsOPI Breakfast at Tiffany collection 'I believe in manicures' and 'Sunrise...bedtime'

Why I wore it:

Although it's the 11th time I've worn this chambray maxi skirt, it's the first time I've tucked a top in to show off the elastic waistband. Maxi skirts with elastic waists are the most comfortable item of clothing I own, even though they look like you put more effort when compared to jeans. I wore them a lot in the post-partum days, after enjoying their stretchiness across pregnancy.

Hit just two style challenges on Instagram as I wore this to the annual Chinese New Year banquet with the in-laws and wanted to wear something red - this tank being the only red thing I can breastfeed in (and even then it's not ideal for feeding). I did briefly consider wearing shorts and my red kimono, but wanted to look a little more dressed up for dinner so a maxi skirt was perfect. The yellow bag and teething necklace aren't quite gold, but it was as close as I could get to a red and gold outfit while staying baby-friendly!


Last worn: red tank, chambray maxi skirt (above), gold Havaianas, Rebecca Minkoff mustard yellow Regan bag.

  4. I am a big fan of maxi skirts, but I never thought about wearing them in denim. Isn't that quite hot in the summer?

  14. That's such a great skirt--it's SO versatile, which I love. Both outfits are fun, I love the stripes in the first one. You have such a great collection of teething necklaces too. I just got a couple and I'm really excited to use them--I didn't have any when Jona was a baby.

  20. I love that you've styled the denim maxi with a fitted top tucked in and a looser one tucked out. It's pretty amazing that one small detail can really change the overall appearance of the ensemble! I can't wait until it is warm enough to start wearing outfits like these again =)

  21. I am loving denim maxi skirts at the moment! I bought an a-line one from the thrift store and I wear almost every weekend (only on weekends because I need more office-appropriate clothes for weekdays). :)

  26. I've never owned a chambray maxi before, but I love the look of yours and now, I think I may want to get one for the spring. Especially since they're what I'm looking forward to most come spring and early summer, when my bump will be the largest. Thanks for sharing and I hope you're having a great start to your week so far!

  34. I have always been a fan of half tucking tops! I am chesty, so tucking something all the way in gives me an odd shape. When I have tuck it gives the illusion that I am proportionate, which couldn't be farther from reality. (; I call it "smizing." Another blogger friend on here taught me the word and it's basically dressing yourself to give the illusion of a smaller frame. I do it all the time now! However Joshua doesn't really "get" it. lol
