The only thing better than a maxi skirt is a mermaid maxi skirt! I could hardly contain my excitement when I laid eyes on this stunner at Current Clothing! Whether you are a bride-to-be, festival junkie, or simply chic, this maxi skirt deserves a special spot in your closet. The princess seams guarantee you a swoon-worthy fit, while the subtle chevron print ups its versatility. With the right additions, this skirt can easily go from noon to five. For a daytime affair, pair this beauty with a cropped off-the-shoulder top, a jean jacket, and a side braid.

With a cocktail party in Las Vegas coming up, I chose the latter, and styled this mermaid skirt for the evening. To compliment the shapely lower half, I paired it with a feminine structured top. Although a classic black or white would have worked, I took advantage of the opportunity to add a pop of color by incorporating this magenta peplum top into the mix. I know I always say to keep the accessories to a minimum when you are working with a statement piece, but when it comes to Vegas, the bigger the better! That is why I chosen a very gaudy pearl necklace.

When I laid eyes on this dress, one word came to mind…RETRO! There is something so fun about a full skirt like this. It reminds me of the dance off scene in the gymnasium in the movie Grease. No wonder I cannot help but twirl around in this little number! Aside from its great movement, the silhouette is ultra feminine. The fitted bodice and darts outline your figure nicely, while the open back adds a bit of flirty flair. The sweeping halter straps create just enough drama – something that is very necessary with a solid colored garment. To go along with the whole retro vibe, I paired this dress with vintage gold pearls and my new favorite heels (featured in last week’s Wish List Wednesday article). I polished off the look with a dainty box clutch, a pink lip, and high ponytail – the bow back is too good to coverup. How is that for some Old Hollywood glam?

1.) Emma Stone: This ensemble is PERFECTION. I love a good pants look (if you can’t already tell from yesterday’s post “Can’t Get Enough Peplum”), and I love when celebrities, or women in general, are brave enough to rock one rather than a dress. Emma killed it in this jumpsuit by Lanvin. The bedazzled bodice adds a touch of glam to this piece – it balances out the tailored pants, and the over-sized sash adds just enough drama.

2.) Jennifer Lopez: never ceases to amaze. J. Lo. stopped people in their tracks wearing a gorgeous cape-like Zuhair Murad dress. This glistening gown was pleasing to the eye from every angle. The fit and flare silhouette perfectly showcased her just-right curves while the deep v neck and high slit showed off her youthful bronzed complexion. From the back, this dress could fool you. At a first glance you might think decked out potato sack…that it ain’t!

3.) Nancy O’Dell was beautiful in blue, by Angel Sanchez. This vibrant hue was exquisite against her skin and blonde hair. The one shoulder neckline with exaggerated ruffle took this simple dress to the next level. The hip hugging silhouette suited her well and the thigh high leg slit was an excellant way to break up the solid pattern. Pulled back hair and dramatic earrings were definitely the way to go.
