Yes, judging by these photos you might think that it’s either unusually warm
 or that I have recently moved to California.  Unfortunately, neither is true.
I actually shot these a few weeks back when the winter chill hadn’t quite hit
yet and I was still able to wear such seasonally inappropriate attire without
getting sever hypothermia.


I did, however, use one of the oldest tricks in the book in order to
get away with this outfit.  By simply wearing a pair of leggings underneath
the maxi skirt, I was able to keep my legs warm without being too bulky or 
uncomfortable.  Just a little layering magic trick, you’re welcome 😉

    I wear leggings or tights under maxis to 'warm' them up too! The only problem I find sometimes though is the skirt then clings a bit. This looks gorgeous on you! 🙂

    I was planning on doing the exact same thing tomorrow with a skirt since it will be really cold and rainy.

    Great tip, that way you can still wear several of your clothes into winter or until weather will permit.

    I always have to wear something under a maxi skirt in the winter! Otherwise it's too cold! But i always have an issue with static then. What do you do to make sure the maxi doesn't stick to your leggings?

    Fabulous outfit (I don't know why but I've never thought of wearing leggings under a maxi skirt – genius!)

    You are so gorgeous! I love high waisted skirts, they are always so flattering.
    The hair looks like you just walked out of a salon with a blowout! Teach me the ways!
