I love it!!</p> <p>To dress it up I would wear it with a tighter, plain tee and pearls or a tight camisole and a cardigan. I also have a lace top that dresses up any outfit. Statement jewelry is key! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-973140 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:29:15 +0000 MrsMccarthy 973140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scarves, loose belts, a long necklace, a cool tunic or a vest left open. I also love big hats. They really make the rest of you look little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-973093 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:15:29 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 973093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with above and maybe add wedges instead of sandals? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-973058 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 14:06:57 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 973058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Yes, for the most part. They say it's business casual, but you see people wearing just about anything here (including baseball hats!). I want to keep it closer to the "business casual" spectrum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972898 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:28:15 +0000 littlek 972898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: pants aren't allowed? Not even nice business pants? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972894 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:27:25 +0000 littlek 972894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Is your business dress code casual? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972891 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:26:48 +0000 LuLu Mom 972891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm rocking a maxi skirt right now with a cardigan buttoned up and a nice shirt underneath it that peaks out and flats. I work in a business professional place, but for some reason they are letting us get away with these...I love it and feel like I'm wearing pants (which aren't allowed.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972884 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:23:54 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 972884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wear them with a tight top and a big chunky statement necklace. And cute sandals (not flip flops)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972844 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:12:27 +0000 MrsKoala 972844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to wear mine with statement necklaces. I think that dresses it up more. I also usually choose a dressier top/cardigan to pair with the maxi and try to put my hair up to feel more professional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972836 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:10:05 +0000 MsLipGloss 972836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I agree . . . it's totally an accessory wardrobe piece in that shoes, scarves, and jewelry can make or break whether the outfit meets a certain criteria. You could even do a jacket with a close-fitting shell/tank/cami underneath with a scarf or statement necklace. </p> <p>As an aside, I would avoid bangles/stacks of bangles, as I think those would bring the formality down (although a cuff bracelet would work). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972827 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:07:11 +0000 looch 972827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do a striped or printed top, with jewlery in a fun color. I saw a woman with a black and white striped tee, a black maxi skirt and highlighter yellow cross body bag. Looked really chic.</p> <p>I think she had the tee tucked into the skirt, though. Not sure about a long tee over a fold over skirt. I also wear my maxis with ballet flats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972822 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:05:52 +0000 sarah.clarisse 972822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My go-to work outfit is a maxi skirt w/ a long tank from old navy &amp; a short sleeve or 3/4 sleeve cardigan (not buttoned &amp; not maternity). I was wearing cute flats with it, but my feet don't seem to fit in them anymore so I'm sneaking around with sandals!</p> <p>I also wear the skirt with gap maternity shirts. The fitted v-neck ones. Our office is biz casual at best, so I'm not sure if that would be dressy enough elsewhere.</p> <p>maxi skirts are SO comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972821 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:05:46 +0000 wahine08 972821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been living in maxi's at work. I usually wear mine with a short blazer (I have a black one that I wear with my striped or royal blue maxi.. and a black and white striped cropped one that I wear with my black maxi) usually a plain top underneath.</p> <p>We're pretty casual here at my work, but I've been wearing maxi skirts and dresses and just making sure my shoes and hair/make up look more put together than normal.</p> <p>Hope that helps a little! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972811 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 13:04:36 +0000 Smurfette 972811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jewelry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dress-up-a-maxi-skirt#post-972772 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 12:58:30 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 972772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my maxi skirts, but I don't know what to wear with them. I would love to be able to wear it to work so that I'm comfortable all day, but I don't know if that's dressy enough?</p> <p>ETA: We have a pretty casual work environment and I can wear jeans everyday, but I like to try to dress it up. </p> <p>[attach=1632/13/mqplxj.410x410.14269628_121128023542.jpg] </p>
