CopyCat Friday–To the Max
27 Jul
Blouse – Macy’s | Dress (as a skirt) – Max Studio via Nordstrom Rack | Belt – Target | Necklace – The Limited | Shoes – SE Boutique via DSW
Today is CopyCat Friday!
I was torn as to what to wear so I turned to Facebook for help deciding. Thanks to those of you who weighed in! The consensus was that I should go for a maxi skirt look.
This outfit from Lilly’s Style turned out to be perfect. One of the reasons was that her skirt? Exact same style and brand as my dress! Now that’s a copy cat idea if I ever saw one.
I believe this is my first attempt at actually wearing a dress as a skirt. How do you think it turned out?
And don’t forget about the jewelry giveaway! You still have some great chances to win!

Here are my takes on four different ways you can make your maxi skirt work for the office.
Cat prints can be worn to the office when you keep them simple and sophisticated. Here are six options.
This week is Bike to Work Week in Chicago and since I only live 1.5 miles from my office I do occasionally bike there. 
The great thing about a denim or jean jacket is that you can find one at literally every price point. 
Sometimes you see an outfit on someone and you think, “That works, but I don’t know why.” 
HOW DID YOU HAVE THAT EXACT SAME SKIRT?! Amazing! Looks great on you too! Thanks for participating : )
I know, right? And the crazy thing is I pinned this photo before I even looked to see where she got her skirt. Serendipity!
I like the dress as a skirt look! Very clever way to make more use of your dresses! I have kind of done that – but with a cardigan over, instead of a blouse, so not quite the same thing!
I’m thinking I’m going to try it more in the fall with different tops. Great way to transition a dress from summer to fall/winter!
I love all the layers on that skirt! Awesome look.
Thanks! This skirt/dress always gets compliments when I wear it. Must be the layers!
Great look. That skirt is amazing
Thanks, Laura!
Well that’s an amazing copycat look! It looks spot-on AND it looks great on you. That dress works amazingly well as a skirt.
Thanks! I actually pinned this image before I realized her skirt and my dress were both Max Studio brand!
Did you fold the shirt ends up inside? You’ve got a great tucked in look that makes it not look like a dress!
Yeah, the shirt ends are folded up under and then I put the belt over the top to hold them in place.
Yay! Love your first foray into the dresses-as-skirts look — one of my favorite ways to mix up my wardrobe! Nice mix of casual and tailored, and that belt is fantastic!
Thanks! And I love that you used it for inspiration
This is perfect, it turned out wonderfully. I would never have known that it was a dress and not a skirt. It’s lovely, I want one!
Thanks! The downside to buying something at a place like Nordstrom Rack is that I can’t tell people to go buy one! You never know what they’re going to have from day to day.
