Wearing: Maxi

Sunday, April 24, 2011

Aahh...the maxi.
I thrifted this navy, Karen Kane skirt at the local mission
a few weeks ago and I'm sure it was the
best that Macy's had to offer in 1993. =)
These skirts are just all over the place again
and that really makes me wish I'd
saved the nine other maxi skirts
I owned when I was 14!

(Thrifted maxi skirt, LOFT blouse and scarf, Crown Vintage oxfords, Nine & Co. bag, UO leather belt, Anthro umbrella)

My family and I enjoyed an amazing
Easter weekend...in spite of the rain.
No matter how much I think about it,
I'm always overwhelmed at
the price Christ paid so that I
could stand before Him completely
blameless and fully pleasing.
What a challenge...living my life
with such gratitude to God
for His astounding love.

  3. I just have to say...you have beautiful eyes. Love the reference to the 90s...if only then I would have savored finding treasures from thrift stores instead of dreading that my Mom made me look there first to see if we could find anything. Love a good bargain and it looks like you found a good one here.

  4. You look lovely, Kris! And we had a lovely Easter too, despite the rain as well. Okay, so it wasn't really rain. Just a drizzle. In southern California, that counts as rain. ^_-

  6. Leah, I felt the same way back then...I still don't thrift much, but everyone in a while I'll ramble through one and I always buy something!

    Carol--I'll take your drizzle anyday! It's pouring here every single day...thunderstorms!

    Jenni--you must try one...so liberating!

  7. I've been hesitant to embrace the maxi skirt trend since I just got on board with the maxi dress, but you've won me over. I am totally going to fold down my
    Black maxi dress to make a similar skirt and steal your idea!

    I can't believe that you could find such a gorgeous skirt in the thrift store! Nice! I should check out my neighbor thrift store, too.
