I am so glad to finally be on time to participate in Every body, Every wear! I’ve been following a long (always a day or 2 too late) and love seeing the different outfits everyone comes up with when wearing similar items. Such a fun idea!

Now, I have never been much of a maxi person. I wasn’t really a fan at all, until this season. And now I am becoming somewhat obsessed. What can I say? Sometimes it takes me some time to warm up to something and then once I’m warmed up… BAM! I need it all. The maxi skirt is the perfect example of this behavior. I have always ignored and maybe even judged them. The past few weeks I have been on mad hunts for them. I picked one up on a thrift shopping trip last week. I have a few on various wishlists that I keep on favorite shopping sites, AND I even made myself one!  Today’s outfit features a super long maxi I whipped up on my own sewing machine It’s nothing special. Just a very simple elastic waist long, long skirt. But I like it. I wanted one that went straight to the floor. With my height (and budget) it wasn’t easy to find. But, I had some nice fabric that would make a great skirt, and went for it. Here is the result.

Vneck tee: Truly Madly Deeply via Urban Outfitters

Jean Jacket: Gap

Maxi skirt: Handmade by me.

Flats: Urban Outfitters

Striped clutch: Krust.

I did learn that to the floor is slightly impractical. I think I am going to take up the length a bit, or wear it with wedges. I really wish I did wear it with wedges actually… okay, next time wedges, and then maybe I’ll take it up if I still want to.

Also! Check out my new clutch! I LOVE it! It’s the perfect clutch. Maybe I say that every time. But, really, each one I make I LOVE more than the last. So, to me they are just getting better and better everyday! This one, really though. There is NOTHING you can’t wear this clutch with… (Oooh, that might be a fun challenge!) Check it out in the shop!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Hope it’s great <3
