The Charcoal Gray Maxi

I never understood the hype about maxi skirts until I picked up this gray one from Brandy Melville. Suddenly, a bright light flashed and all my problems were solved -- well not that dramatic, but I realized that I had been missing a piece of clothing that does not sacrifice comfort for style. I find that anyone can look instantly more stunning just by throwing on a maxi skirt and a simple t-shirt, like the one I am wearing from Vero Moda. I am now on the hunt for another maxi skirt.. or two...

I paired my maxi skirt with muted accessories: a white and gold bracelet from a craft fair, a forever 21 white and gold ring, a forever 21 gold necklace and a pink clutch from a local boutique. As for shoes, these Zara sandals provide a pop of pattern without distracting from the rest. 

What is your view on the maxi skirt trend? and which color or style should I try next?
