When I saw this photo on the Sartorialist, I immediately knew it would serve as inspiration for one of my outfits. Below, is said outfit. I received this bespoke maxi skirt as a gift from my dad a couple of weeks ago. I love the full skirt, print and colours; such a nice change from my plainer maxis. It makes a nice swooshing sound with every step I take, and all I wanted to do was twirl around just to hear it swish swish. There's something to be said for maxi skirts and dresses, that makes me want to stand taller and walk with a straighter back. Do you find that?
I spent the most part of last night watching the US Open. Roger Federer played against Brian Dabul, and the highlight of the game was by far the between-the-legs, cross-court win by Federer. This man plays with such skill and ease, making the game of tennis look effortless especially when compared to his opponent (sorry Dabul). I love the way he moves with such grace and fluidity across the court. Whatever it is I end up doing in the future, I hope I am to that field, what Federer is to tennis.
Anna Wintour was in the stands, with her sunnies of course. I am so amazed by her hair, and how it is ever so consistent, with not one single strand out of place. Now that's true dedication, and I aim for that too ;)
Are any of you following the games? Your thoughts?
Hope you are all having a fab week so far.
Bisous,
Abs

Great outfit! Love that skirt. :)SarahD
I love your maxi dress, Abi. Especially how you layered the top over it. :)
Love
Maxi dresses do something to your self esteem, as you said; you stand more straight and walk more feminine.. It's crazy! Maybe because it's such a victorian feeling :)
I love the pattern and the combination with the fringe top.
Thanks for your comment babe

This is a delightful skirt! The print and colors are perfect. On another note, tennis is my absolute favorite sport to watch! I was able to catch some of the LA Men's Tennis Open because it played on our campus courts! I scored a peek of Andre Agassi! I'm only bummed that I won't be able to catch the US Open live. I'm flying to NY once it's over! I guess there's always next year!

Wow, I love how you styled this. You look amazing. That skirt is an amazing cut - fitted but flowy too.
That photo on the Sartorialist is an excellent source of inspiration. Your skirt is gorgeous, I love wearing such long, floaty skirts, for me it's the feeling of summer!

I've never worn a maxi skirt. I'm afraid it will make me look smaller but you convinced me with your "swish swish" !
You have done a marvelous job! I am really inspired with your work.

You look great, as usual. Love your style
I don't understand tennis at all, but I lovvve the proportions of your outfit. The intense colour with the black, the drapey bits of the top, it's great. If you're interested, head over to my latest post, I tagged you in a blog award-type-thing. (More of a share-yourself thing, but anyway) ; )
