Floral Print Maxi Skirt & Tank Top: Roundup Of Randomness

I have a few topics for blog posts on deck, however since it’s been awhile I thought I’d share some random tidbits from around the Internet that I’ve enjoyed recently…

THE STORY

…I enjoy doing my Roundup of Randomness posts because I think it’s good for all of us to, every once in awhile, just take a moment to appreciate the little things. Whether it be some funny memes, a mindless but relatable list of nonsense, an interesting discovery or a touching human interest story it does us good to get out of our own headspace for a minute or two.

  • I saw these photoshopped images by Dutch artist Ard Gelinch the other day and thought they were the coolest thing. He photoshops images of celebrities next to their younger selves and it’s nothing short genius. Be sure to check out his Instagram too because there are many more images there. I particularly love the image of Sir Anthony Hopkins…dang, was he a hottie back in the day!

THE OUTFIT

I wore this floral print maxi skirt, tank top and my pink Birkenstocks a few weeks back for a day of errand running and grocery gettin’. Some of you might be thinking that this is a bit extra for Walmart, but since I don’t work in the summer I like to put in at least a modicum of effort when I actually do leave the house during those lazy months.

The floral print maxi skirt was a find on the clearance rack at H&M a few years ago; I think it cost me all of $7. Since it’s obviously not still available I’ve included a few similar options for you below.

Today I paired it with a pink tank top from H&M’s basics collection and a high neck lace bralette. This particular bralette is no longer available, but this one is definitely a beautiful alternative.

In the past I’ve styled the skirt with a graphic tee and in the winter with a sweater and ankle boots. I really like that it buttons the entire way up the front making it easy to choose how much or how little leg to show.

THE TIP

Don’t forget that many items in your closet can be seasonless, the easiest being skirts and sundresses. With just a few minor tweaks, you can take a summery skirt and style it clear through the dark snowy months of winter. Simply add a sweater, boots and tights or leggings and you’re good to go.

Hahaha, shame on you for taking me down the photoshopped pictures and naughty cats rabbit hole! I recently did random errands in a maxi skirt, too–they are so darned simple in the summer.

Ohmygosh, thank you for the chuckle. I’m not a cat person, but those were hilarious.

That skirt is so pretty. I really like the entire outfit.

Wow, I really enjoyed those celeb photoshop pics! My heart broke a little seeing Robin Williams, Amy Winehouse, and Luke Perry – so tragic. But I agree – genius! Wouldn’t it be fun to do that with our own pictures?!
You’ve worn that skirt before and I love it each time I see it! Those colors are just so perfect and it is beautiful!
xo,
Kellyann

I am a fan of the new shark species found! Too cute and I am not even scared because I am the biggest chicken you’ll meet. Yes I still get scared at night! What a great idea to do young and old photos side by side. It’s amazing at how years can really do their magic on us or not! I love this colorful skirt Debbie. The colors make me happy and I am smitten with the button details. It’s the little things right? I hope your weekend is off to a great start and happy Saturday!

Hi Debbie! I did see this artist’s work with the celebrities in their younger days, really cool! So seemliess you cant tell it is photoshopped! I LOVE doggy videos and laugh at animal videos, love the car that didn’t like the shower curtain. Your outfit is so pretty and looks great with your hair. Love the colors!

OMG, the Normandy roof tiles with cat paw prints just made me die! Cats have always been assholes! And those Ard Gelinch photos are freaking amazing! Your outfit is super adorable, too!

The Photoshop pics are sweet and also a bit eerie, especially the people that have sadly passed. I do love funny cat videos, they really are little shitbags sometimes but I still love them. Prime example: I got up at 5am for work this morning to find my cat had puked all over the sofa but was fussing round my legs so I couldn’t be mad with him! Beautiful skirt, it looks great with the pink vest and bralette. Thanks for linking up!
