It’s all about the maxi skirts this week in our Thrift Sisters Link Up. Keren Charles of Two Stylish Kays and I are showing you the versatility of wearing maxi skirts in the fall. Check out Keren’s blog to see how she styled this beautiful maxi skirt with her denim jacket.
I have mentioned before that San Diego’s day weather is still very summer-like, with temps in the high 80s. However, the evenings are cooler and a maxi skirt is a great summer piece that can easily transition into the fall. I found this beautiful blue maxi skirt at TJ Maxx on clearance for $10.00. This is the perfect time of the year to get some awesome summer clearance pieces which can still be used in your fall wardrobe. Maxi skirts are great transitional pieces.
The beautiful color, the side split and the loose middle pleats in the skirt made me purchase this piece. Of course, the thrifty price was also a huge factor.
I styled this maxi skirt with a simple white tank top and this thrifted grey fitted jacket. I purchased the jacket on my recent San Diego Thrifting Bus Tour at the Salvation Army for $2.00. I love the fit, and the slanted zipper, and the color will go well with so many outfits.
Of course, once I added the jacket, I knew the perfect shoes for this outfit would be my grey heels from Ross Dress For Less. These made an appearance here and you can bet they will make many more appearances this fall.
Do you have any summer pieces that you are transitioning into the fall?

Rachelle,
Thank you! It actually took me a while to figure out just how to wear that skirt. For some reason, I felt that the fit wasn’t really on point until I tried on the jacket.
This is perfect example of how to take a maxi dress into fall, you look amazing!
Love the shape of that maxi! The jacket is such a great piece!

So many things to love in this outfit! I love the color combination here- the grey and blue are so pretty! And that maxi skirt is so fun! Love the unique style of it with the wrap-look instead of a just a straight skirt. And I ALWAYS love a good moto jacket – yours is fab here!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! That grey jacket matches your heels perfectly! I love how the edginess of the jacket contrasts with the femininity of the maxi skirt! You’ve done it once again, chic!

Robin,
Thank you for stopping by!
I do adore the tulip hem of your maxi, and the leather jacket makes it so perfect for fall.
Chic on the Cheap
Lyddiegal,
Thank you! That hem is perfection. It’s unique and I had never seen one such as that before.
I want that skirt! How do people thrift such nice things? I never find them.
That skirt is lovely, I love the blue colour 🙂
Fi,
Thank you! The color is really what caught my attention of it in the store.
Love those skirts!
Candace,
Thank you.
Cute skirt! You got a really good deal on the jacket only paying $2.
Sonya,
Thank you. Yes, it was 50% off at the store and I don’t own a grey jacket. So glad that I found it, because I have a lot of outfits that it will look great with.
I LOVE that blue maxi shirt! That shade of blue is so cute <3
Angelic,
Thank you. The color is definitely a great one and I am glad that I found it.
That blue maxi looks SO comfy. Omg, by the way I’d be way too chicken to show that much leg with the other skirt – primarily because it’s usually windy and I swear I’d have a Marlyn Monroe moment, hahaha!
Nancy,
Hahaha, yes Keren is working the split in that skirt. I don’t have the guts either, but she makes it look FABULOUS!
I love how vibrant this skirt is! So perfect for fall 🙂
Chelsea,
Thank you! The color is definitely versatile and can really be worn all four seasons.
I love wearing maxi skirts or dresses. Always so comfortable! Love that blue skirt, very cute.
Melissa,
Thank you! Yes, comfortable and always look great on everyone. They are definitely a must in all ladies’ closets.
Great color combo! Looking dashing as always.
Deidre,
Thank you! I always use grey as a neutral and wear it with all color combinations.
TJ Maxx is my favorite place to shop along with Marshalls! I love love the blue maxi skirt. It really is perfect as a fall transition piece.
Marissa,
Thank you! Yes, TJ Maxx has something for everyone at great prices. The skirt is definitely going to be used a lot here in the evenings in San Diego where the temps dip just a little.
Maxi dresses and skirts are so flattering. You both look great!
Jemma,
Yes, they are definitely pieces that ANYONE can wear with style and grace.
Both skirts look so great, you make thrifting look so glamours! 🙂
Erica,
Thank you! I love thrifting, but everyone can find the same things we find as well. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.
i LOVE that blue skirt!! I’m always amazed at your amazing finds. I really like that it splits up the middle!
Brita,
Thank you! I bet if you tried a little thrifting yourself you will find some of those finds as well. Amazing finds are in all thrift stores — I promise you.
You make thrifting look so fabulous! The maxi is a beautiful color 🙂
JoAnn,
Thank you! But, thrifting is fabulous — with a little patience.
I love the colors you chose for this outfit, it looks great on you !

Thank you! Figured both colors would look great for the fall, especially in sunny San Diego.
I love that skirt! The color is so pretty!
Carly
Thank you! The color drew me in immediately at the store. The fact that the price was so AWESOME was a huge bonus.
Love the grey and blue together! You look awesome!
Jordan,
Thank you! I consider grey a neutral and pair it with most colors.
I love remixing pieces for different seasons!!! You did a great job with this and I am just gushing over that jacket! Yes for sure when I make it back to San Diego, we gotta make this thrift meet up happen!!
Carylee,
Thank you! Let’s make it happen for sure the next time you are in San Diego.
I think I might be the biggest maxi dress fan right now, it seems to be the only dress I can wear that doesn’t make me feel like a horse.
Alyssa,
Lol…yes, maxi dresses are very forgiving and look great on all body types.
Love that color skirt! So pretty!
Michelle,
Thank you! The color is pretty special.
Karen’s cardigan is seriously giving me thrift envy right now! You guys have a great eye for fashion!
Winter,
Yes, her cardigan is FABULOUS! The things you find in the thrift stores. Thank you for stopping by.
I love how you combined the edgy jacket with the feminine maxi skirt! The color combo is just perfect! You look chic and cool at the same time!
Red Reticule
Thank you! The jacket is really a great thrift find isn’t it. I can see so many other combinations to wear that jacket.
Such a great clearance find! I love the draping and color on you!
Laura,
Yes, I am huge fan of clearance racks. Can’t find myself paying full price for anything.
I would never in a million years put those two pieces together and think they look good, but my goodness you pull them off so well! I love the blue color of that skirt!
Gigi,
Thank you! The color is really what got me to look at the skirt in the first place. I visualize grey as a neutral and wear it with everything actually. Never even stopped to think that I might actually not be matching…lol.
That skirt is fab!
