Maxi Skirts and Sweaters

How many of you are looking forward to summer fun? I know I am! We have several visits with friends planned, as well as family fun around the home. In anticipation of this, I have been revamping and updating my wardrobe. After going through my closet and weeding out some old pieces, I went shopping! I ended up getting several new tops, and my favorite-several maxi skirts! Maxi skirts are my go-to wardrobe staple, especially during the warmer months. They're so light and cool, and you can pair them with anything-a button up blouse, womens sweaters-or my favorite for summer picnics and barbecues, a maxi and one of my dozens of tee shirts! (Okay, I don't really have dozens, but I do have quite a collection :) I think pairing this short sleeve cardigan with my favorite black maxi skirt would be the perfect look for an evening around town this summer! I love stripes, and this cardi looks so cool and comfortable. Trying to stay modest during the summer really isn't hard; especially with companies like Downeast Basics, that offer many choices in cool blouses or tees. They even have some new maxi skirts that I have my eye on-nice and long, with a variety of colors!

This is a sponsored post for Downeast Basics, however, all the points and views are my own.
