Today I'm showing some love for a recent sale purchase at Anthropologie, the gray Water's Edge Skirt. I do have two maxi dresses, and I wore them this summer and was a fan. I hadn't yet given in to the maxi skirt trend, until I tried this baby on. It doesn't look like much in the product shot, but darn if it isn't the most versatile skirt ever for summer and fall! (Winter too, layered of course) LOVE. Bonus: it's on sale!
The skirt is a perfect length for me, allowing me to wear flats (and flat boots), as I am mostly want to do on a daily basis. But the real star element of this skirt, is that it has a slip sewn in! Woohoo! Brilliance. Why don't they all have this?? I actually sized up to a size medium in this, which it seems like most reviewers have done (but I don't know if you *must* do this). It also comes in blue, and I'm hoping they'll add more colors.
Anyway, I started making styling sets on Polyvore, and I could.not.stop. It goes with everything. Everything I tell you! Here is the link to my Polyvore set collection for this skirt (which includes sets made by me and others). Some of my styling favorites:

(Notes: My usual picture-taking spot is being held hostage by piles and piles of rummage sale prep. Also, my toddler was running me ragged, so I didn't have energy to do IRL styling.)
See it looking amazing on Villasba here. Have you tried this skirt? Are you into the maxi skirt trend for fall?
Have a wonderful day!
Hi M, great skirt! I just got my first maxi this week as well from ON (click here) - granted, it's maternity, but I think that it could be worn by those who aren't expecting. The color is darker than the Water's Edge, but it's super soft and goes with everything. I never wear maxi skirts but this one has changed my mind - I may purchase the black now as well.
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I want a grey maxi skirt now so I can copy every one of your Polyvore outfits?
ReplyDeleteI just bought this skirt today. I could no longer rest the Polyvore hype! They only had an XS in store (I am NOT an XS) but even though it was saran-wrap tight, I could get a feel for how a larger size might fit. The slip is heaven sent. I can't wait to try it when it arrives in a bigger size. I hope it looks as good on me as it does on you!

That looks good. Cute polyvores as usual :)
ReplyDeletesilver_lining - Congrats!!! I saw your reveal on The Mothership yesterday or the other day. I'm so happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteM - Is the tag still on that skirt? You might have a look at Nordy's Bobeau maxi, which comes in the same or similar color. It also comes in petite, for anyone who needs a shorter length. Marked down to $29.90 now.
The skirt is really cute, and I have loved wearing a couple of maxis this summer, but I never thought about them for fall. Your polyvores are helping me see the possibilities...thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove the maxi on you, M! Love seeing it on you and Villasba IRL!! Wore mine the other day and just loved it. Think I'll love it even more in the fall!
