As much as I hated last week's maxi skirt, I'm not quite ready to give up on the trend just yet. I loved all the suggestions I got, and I am definitely going to re-work the outfit and re-blog it (probably next week). I literally sat down with a notebook and wrote down all of your suggestions, and I am ready to go! In the meantime, as you will see from today's outfit, I took to heart many of the suggestions and I think this may be one of my favorite outfits to date!
Curtis and I got up super early and drove downtown, looking for cool places for pictures. We were stopped at a red light when Curtis pointed out this magnificent church. It's over one hundred years old and the pillars and curving stairs, all in marble, make for a breathtaking sight.
You notice I am wearing a v-neck t-shirt, a long necklace, heels, and a super confident attitude! I felt great :) The skirt is currently on clearance at Old Navy, so if you want it, you better buy it now!

Katie! I LOVE this! The pattern of that maxi is so unique, and pairing it with the yellow tee was genius - looks awesome :)

Fantastic pairing with yellow, i love it!
I think this maxi is a win! You look beautiful :) The church you chose is beautiful as well. All that marble is breathtaking!
I LOVE the print of the maxi skirt. It is so cute! And it looks fabulous with the yellow shirt. The background was great! I am always looking for new places for pictures but sometimes the only thing I can do is the driveway. My little boys usually dictate when/if and where pictures will happen...

I love everything about this outfit, but I especially love your big smile in that last photo. You look comfortable, confident, happy, and that's better than any accessory:)
Love it all! Glad you're going to give the other skirt another chance, also! BTW, I meant to tell you - I think you have pretty arms! You have great skin. So don't be ashamed of them!
Ah I love this! This might be one of MY favorites for you too! The skirt is super cute and I love it with the tee, you look fabulous. That last picture of you... love.

I wore a similar outfit this week but did not tuck in the tee. Should have done that. Love that yellow paired with the black and white and love your style

Yay! I love it! Even though you aren't smiling in most of the pictures, you look confident rather than unhappy. I love the "smize" in the first picture :)
The yellow with navy and white is a lovely color combo (one of my favorite to wear), the silver bangles are great, and the location is inspired. Love, love, LOVE!
YOU'RE AWESOME. I love you.
love it! the print on the maxi is soo good and teamed with yellow is just fabulous and great accessories - weep just a little for me as old navy is unavailable in uk boo!! ps beautiful church
you look beautiful & the skirt looks very slimming! :)
These photos are so pretty. It makes your print and color really pop off the background of the church. I wish my hubby could go with me in the morning scouting for outfit picture spots!

I love maxi dresses, especially for summer. Lookin' great Katie!
Looked at the skirt and instantly had a "want this bad" moment...and then saw your little blip about it being on clearance. Hmmm. How can I resist this?

very nice! I'm wearing an identical yellow v-neck tee today! I paired mine with a light grey knee-length skirt (A-line!) and yellow sandals, topped with a jean jacket. I feel like we're sort of twinkies!
ZOMG! This outfit is KILLIN' me! You are really rockin' some of my fave things ever.
P.S. I found homemade vegan Nutella: http://chockohlawtay.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-nutella.html
I haven't tried the maxi skirt yet... I haven't found one my size that fits my height and the one's I've tried aren't flattering on me. You look super cute and comfy so you've inspired me to try it out!
I absolutely love this outfit! The pop of color with the yellow shirt, the long necklace and most of all how happy you look in it! Just great!
YOU LOOK AWESOME! I've always loved that skirt but never came to the point of buying it, so I will live vicariously through you. And as always, you have the best shoes.
You look great!!! I love this outfit on you!!!

Thank you, Kacie! I felt pretty glamorous!
I saw these shoes on Currently Coveting! Erin was comparing them to a pair of Steve Madden wedges. These are from Payless :) Pretty comfy and super high heel!
I felt pretty darn good! Thanks, Mel!
You might have to wear heels like I did. Yay for short and squat :/ However I felt very statuesque with the wedges on!
Thanks for the recipe! I will have to give it a try! And I'm glad you like it. It really is one of my favs too!
Ooh, that sounds super cute! I am never comfortable in jean jackets, which is a shame because I love them. I always feel like Chris Farley- "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" :)
It is SOOO worth it. I wish they had it inn other colors and patterns. It' a great piece!
Thank you, Ashley!
I really love the time we spend together, and truth be told, I don't think he minds too much either. It's nice to just look at things with :different eyes" you know?
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
I shouldn't tease you so! I've bet you've got all kinds of places that I should be shopping at as well. Any with US counterparts or online shopping?
Thank you, secret 18 year old girl! You're awesome too! ;)
Love, love, love! You look great! I love the pic with the super pouty model face. ; )
Thank you, Selah! We make fun of my "smizing" all the time ;)
I love the yellow and navy too. It's a really fun and sophisticated!
Thank you, Kemi! I am checking out your blog right now!
Thank you! Thank you! I am blushing now :)
Thank you so much for all of those compliments! I really appreciate it :)
I agree 100%! Thank you Tashia!
I completely understand that! Sometimes we are able to do it before picking up my son, other times he wants to star in the photos with me! WE do what we have to do!
It was overwhelming because it is SO big! Crazy the way things used to be made! And thank you!
Thank you, Natasha!
Yay! Thank you, Annie! Thanks so much! I'm glad it looked as good as I thought it did!
What a fun blog! You are absolutely gorgeous! We're now following you and hope you'll do the same!!

OMG Love the skirt!!! The yellow top is perfect with it!
I LOVE the navy paired with the yellow top! The way you styled this maxi is great, Katie! I actually gave in and purchased my first maxi dress in the Bahamas so I need as many styling ideas as I can get :)
PS Thanks again for filling in for me while I was gone!
