Tie-Dye Maxi Skirt

{Billabong Locket Convertible Maxi Skirt / Similar}

I have been waiting so long to wear this skirt! I bought it near the end of my pregnancy thinking I could wear it for the rest of the pregnancy, but when I received it, I found the fabric wasn't as stretchy as most maxi skirts I own, so I had a hard time hiking 'er over the thighs! I tried again shortly after having Farrah to no avail. But I pulled it out again yesterday to give it a shot, and to my surprise, I was able to slink it on no problem! Yay for postpartum weightloss progress!

It's no secret I love tie-dye, so when I came across this at Tilly's online, I knew I had to have it. And at under $40 at the time, it was a no-brainer. The colors are my favorite too. I think tie-dye is like camo or leopard...it will never really go out of style as long as it's done right.

Check out this picture I got my 4-year-old to take...not too bad!

It can also be worn as a full-length maxi dress:

Currently Crushing...The Maxi

We're in for warmer weather this week and it's got me all revved up for spring. I just can't wait to live the rest of this pregnancy in maxi skirts, tank tops and flip flops...comfort is a must!

Laid my eyes upon this gorgeous maxi dress this weekend...ugh, just so gorgeous.

And let's be real, I'm going to live in maxi dresses all summer as I work to get rid of my post-baby belly and get back into my jeans in time for fall. I am so sad this one is out of stock...I'm going to watch it like a hawk and pray it comes back in stock. {Totally didn't mean to rhyme there...but I guess I've got a gift.}

Call me a hippie, but I'm slightly in love with all things tie-dye and this Billabong maxi is no exception. It might be a little "loud" for some, but for me, bright colors is what spring and summer is all about!

And I totally ordered it. It was on sale for $39.99 with free next day shipping, and it's 100% viscose, a quality fabric I love...so well worth it. I will pair it with a white or black tank top.

This next little number is a slightly different style than I'm used to in a maxi, but I think I love it.

Black & White Maxi Skirt {3 Ways}

The other day, I was perusing Marshall's and literally ended up spending a small fortune. I found so many cute things for summer and just simply couldn't resist. One of my favorite finds of the day was a black & white striped Michael Kors maxi skirt for $34.99. I was just playing around with some things in my closet and put together some quick ensembles with it. {Sorry in advance for some of the smudgies - didn't realize how my mirror needed a good cleaning - thanks DSLR for pointing that out!}

The top in this first pic is from Target. I got them on a buy 1 get one half off sale, so one was $10, the next was $5. The bauble necklace is that infamous J.Crew lookalike I got off of eBay for $14.99 {sure beats the $150.00 J.Crew price tag!}

The top in this second picture is from Kohl's last year. I love the shoulder cut-outs and the color. I got it in a few different colors at the time since it was such a steal. Feel free to shop Kohl's tops collection here. {They are actually giving a 10% online discount to everyone through May 10th, just use the promo code BLOGS10 at checkout!} Again, another J.Crew look-a-like bauble.

And lastly, this is the skirt paired with just a simple black tank. I tucked it in to give more waistline definition.

I have so many other things I can pair with this skirt - its classic lines and colors make it so versatile. It's going to be a spring/summer staple for sure. It's so comfy, I could live in it all summer - maybe I will. xoxo

Fitting Room Fun

I found some time last week to hit Target sans kids so I thought it would be best to take advantage of the opportunity to actually get to try on some clothes in the dressing rooms.

I found some cute things...

Thought I'd go ahead and get that one out of the way...I was actually going back and forth on sharing this one here...but hey, if this blog is going to be honest and raw...then I have to let go of some insecurities, right?

I tried on this bikini and I actually really liked it. The bottom seemed kind of baggy, but I felt if I went down a size, it wouldn't give the coverage I like on the backside {thank you, Tanner & Breckin}. I'm still in the midst of getting in bikini shape for summer. I didn't get this, but maybe if it's still in stock a month from now, I'll try it on again.

I loved the color of these shorts {could not find link online, but check your local store}. And the length was just right - flattering because it didn't show too much upper thigh. I'll feel like I can bend over safely when chasing my little one at the play parks and such.

I also went ahead and bought them in jean blue...

That top is also great...I mentioned it in this post last week. It goes great with leggings, I had been looking for a light, layering sweater to pair with leggings and skinnies.

Lastly, I loved this bright blue maxi skirt. It is longer in the back than the front.

I am so in the mood for spring weather so I can start rocking these things!
