Casual Christmas Maxi Skirt Outfits

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 

Sharing two casual Christmas maxi skirt outfits I wore recently. The first one for our annual Christmas Eve family day, the second for a couple of Christmas parties. It has been a fun but busy December with all the get togethers.

What I wore:

Earrings: Colette Ciao Bella glitter ball drop earrings
Necklace: Silhoupette gold plated Shih Tzu necklace
Tee: Merry Christmas reindeer antler tee
Skirt: Target navy side split maxi skirt
Shoes: slim navy and pink Havaianas
Bracelets: the usual plus Christmas ribbon bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff unlined saddle bag in cherry red

Why I wore it:

This is what I wore on Christmas eve. The past few years I've worn the same tee on Christmas eve that my sister bought as part of a new tradition, a festive glitter Santa tee. This year I wanted to wear this reindeer tee mum made me - she made matching ones for us all, even the kids. I'd already worn this tee to the Christmas night at Movie Word theme park, and I knew that since it went so well with my red printed maxi skirt then, it would work well with this navy striped maxi skirt too.

This was the same skirt I wore last Christmas eve too - it's a very comfortable stretchy skirt. Perfect for Christmas crafts (machine washable!), making and decorating cookies, and for eating a lot of delicious food, spending time with family, and watching a Christmas movie. Once again we watched the Polar Express, as requested by my sons!

The little red saddle bag fit my wallet, phone, keys and camera, and was a nice matchy-matchy option with the red print on the tee.


Last worn: reindeer Christmas tee, gold bauble earrings, gold necklace, navy stripe maxi skirt, Havaianas, red studded saddle bag.

Other ways to wear: reindeer Christmas tee with red skirt, navy stripe maxi skirt and denim jacket, red studded saddle bag worn 30 ways.

All The Festive Fun From A Previous Christmas (2018)

What I wore:

Earrings: Chanel vintage camellia dangling charm earrings
Tank: Jeanswest 'Darcy' embellished top in winter coral
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Love cross body bag in grey

Why I wore it:

This was another fun, but very hot day, before the one above. We had a kids Christmas party in the afternoon and then a Christmas party with friends in the evening. Which we ended up having to leave early from unfortunately because the kids were just worn out from the huge day!

I figured with two parties in one day it was a good time to get this sequin tank out again. I've worn it to a Christmas party before, and to the office. It's the kind of piece you can wear year-round but it seems extra festive at Christmas time. I thought the black sequins would be so nice with this black maxi skirt. It's perfect for a hot day even though it's a dark colour because it's super light viscose. And thankfully it is easy to wash after there was lots of delicious food dropped and smeared all over it (at both parties!).

The Rebecca Minkoff Love bag is a nice neutral grey that goes with everything, and also matches the grey and silver sequins. Perfect size for the essentials and my camera too.


Last worn: Chanel earrings, burgundy sequin tank, black maxi skirt, studded sandals, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag.

Other ways to wear: burgundy sequin tank and jeans, black maxi skirt and pink tee, studded sandals and shorts, Rebecca Minkoff Love bag with jeans.

Perfect for pregnancy: burgundy sequin tank in second trimester, studded sandals in second trimester, Rebecca Minkoff quilted Love bag in third trimester.

How You Can Wear It:

A maxi skirt is a great option on a hot day, especially if it's from a light material or has a slit up the side. Perfect for a backyard party, or a quiet day visiting family, they are easy to dress up or down.
