OOTD - Black Maxi Skirt


Oh Monday, why must you sneak up on us so soon?  Coming off of a busy but incredible weekend, Monday is a tough pill to swallow.  The weather has been amazing lately, and this weekend I took full advantage by spending the vast majority of my time outside.  By the time Sunday evening had rolled around, I was feeling a little drained from spending so much time in the sun and needed a no-brain outfit to get me through the evening.  Enter my trusty black maxi skirt, which I've worn before here during the winter, a simple white bustier-tank and some Ray Ban wayfarers that I borrowed from my husband's sunglasses collection.  Finish off with a simple red lip and a messy low-bun - Sunday evening spent in simple style.  Read on for additional photos and outfit details.

Sunglasses -  Ray Ban, Lip - MAC's Ruby Woo + Cherry lip liner


I really like this Clare V leopard fold over clutch.  Like really, really like it.  I had no idea that I would have gotten so much use out of it, but it seems to come with me anytime I need to add a little pizzaz to a simple outfit.  Judging by how much I have enjoyed this clutch, I'm now on the hunt for another statement clutch - does anyone have any recommendations?

Not the most flattering of photos, but you get the idea.
How was your weekend?  Did you get out in the sun?  Let me know!

    1. Thanks Sabrina! I love this clutch for just that reason - adding a little something to an otherwise very modest outfit :)

  2. I love the simplicity of this outfit. I'm also quite jealous at the way you can wear your hair in a messy bun and it looks like a nice updo. I still haven't mastered the nice/messy hairstyle yet.

    Happy Monday :)

    1. HAHA - thats so nice of you to say! I usually just throw it up and don't even bother looking in the mirror (more for fear of the reflection than anything ;)

  3. Lovely outfit! I felt totally drained because of the sun too, but all the time spent outside was worth it.
    Color-blocked clutches are great statement pieces. I especially like the ones where one side is one color, and the other a different color. That way when you fold over, you get both!

  5. Red, black and white are always classics in my book! What I love about this outfit is that it is an easy way to look dressy but be casual, and it's SUCH an easy look to pull together. And of course, I can't say no to any Clare V clutch.

    1. I agree, simplicity is key for me! Clare V clutches are my vice, and I already have my eye on another one ;)
