Be careful not to trip on your MAXI!

The trend toward Maxi skirts is contagious! Fashion leaders and innovators have encouraged the masses to accept this style as it climbs the fashion cycle. At the end of the rise stage of the cycle, this design is now accepted by an increasing number of customers. Buyers are reordering in quantities for maximum stock coverage so consumers like yourselves can get in on the trend!

Late Spring the Maxi made big news as New York magazine published a major article entitled "The Floor's The Limit" which welcomed back the skirt style and showed consumers ideal fabrics and cuts for individual body types. 

Late Summer WhoWhatWear reported printed maxi's as a dramatic trend, using popular icons to validate its phenomenon. 

What started out as high fashion has now turned into volume fashion...

NOW:

Or my personal FAVORITE:

Maxi's are the perfect transitionary outerwear between Summer and Fall. A trend I love because it permits creativity via top layering and allows for an assortment of shoe choices. 
Yet, all trends end in excess. Maybe the next time I trip on the stairs while wearing one of my many maxi skirts I should take it as a sign that it is time to move on!
