Chic of the Week: A Major Maxi Moment
Despite the general opinion, living in sunny Southern California still requires a bit of bundling up during the winter months. And by the time January rolls around, I often feel like I’ve run out of creative ways to look cute and still stay warm at the same time. I’ve exhausted all of my cable knits, worn my skinny jeans to threads, and broken in my boots. With several months to go before spring is upon us, what’s an uninspired fashionista to do? Look no further than our newest Chic of the Week, that’s what. This LaurenConrad.com member takes laid back beachy style to a whole new level, and she stays warm and cozy while doing it… Congrats, LifeofChanel, you’re our newest Chic of the Week!
In my opinion, this member’s winter outfit is sheer genius for so many reasons. She took a classic black maxi—a summer wardrobe staple—and made it cold weather-appropriate by layering a cute cream knit over it. While the pairing of these pieces may be a little unexpected, it works in every way. Her long necklace and blonde beachy waves put the finishing touches on this look.
I now know what I’m going to be wearing to work tomorrow, thanks to our newest Chic of the Week. Congrats, LifeofChanel… Your maxi moment made major waves in my book!
Will you try this alternative winter ensemble?

I love maxi dresses, they are so versatile! You can wear it in the summer with some accessories, and in the winter by layering it with a cardigan or a comfy sweater :) So chic...

I really like this look but I might do it with a white maxi as well as the black. :)

While I like the look it would never work in the colder, wetter climate of Denmark - you never know when it'll rain, and if the dress/skirt is just a little too long it'll soak up water from the ground :( and then you're even colder and wetter than before! Sigh - I need to move to a warmer climate... at least during the winter months! :) Cute though -
I have tried to wear my maxi this winter but I struggle with what shoes to wear. I live in a colder climate so I can wear cute sandles or open toe wedges. Ideas?
