To me, nothing is more comfortable or stylish than a maxi skirt. You don’t have to worry about length (which for tall girls is always a problem when it comes to dresses, pencil and mini skirts) and they look incredibly chic, but you feel like you are still at home lounging around in your pajamas. I love winterizing maxi skirts by simply pairing them with a sweater. I always belt a combo like this because the skirt and sweater are looser items, so by adding a belt, I give myself shape. Add some tall socks and a pair of boots and the outfit is literally that easy to throw together and perfect for a Monday at the office.

Can you believe I don’t own a maxi skirt?! I live in maxi dresses in the summer, but I don’t have a skirt! I need to work on that! Love this short sleeved sweater too.

Well… after reading all of the comments so far, I can believe it now
Technically you could own a maxi skirt if you wear a blouse and belt it over your dress… I LOVE wearing my maxi dresses as skirts 
I don’t own a maxi skirt either (AJ you aren’t alone) because I’m short and petite so they rarely fit. I might need to just suck it up and go to a tailor! Love these winter look on you Rachel!
I THINK YOU should get one and go to a tailor! Seriously, they are just too comfy! And I always get so many compliments without “trying too hard”… you know?!
LOVE those polka dots – so cute Rachel!

Rachel, this polka dots skirt is so playful and romantic and fits perfectly to the background too
I dont own any maxi skirts they long kinda weird on me as I am not that tall

Haha, I have the opposite problem…most maxis are waaaaaay too long on me! The polka dots are so cute!

I really like this sweater belted with the maxi, so cute! I look ridiculous in maxi anything. I might have to give it another try this spring.

So pretty! You can really never go wrong with neutrals. This look is classic but chic!
Love your entire outfit! I’ve been meaning to try out a maxi skirt (they look SO comfy) but just haven’t had the time to try some new fashion staples… I’m so set in my ways!

The shoulder detail on that jacket is fantastic! Ugh, as a short girl, the winter maxi is a no-no for me because the ground is so uneven due to the snow it always drags at some point and get’s wet!
Ahh! I never thought of that before… that would be awful
I hate when the ends of my jeans get wet during winter!
I like it too, when you´re wearing maxi skirts. Unfortunately I´m the opposite of you, I´m mostly to short for such elegant skirts. And I´m so impressed about your perfect, beautiful face <3

LOVE the neutral colors. This whole outfit is fabulous! xo, Julie
I definitely don’t have the tall girl issue with skirt lengths – oh, how I wish I did. Love how you winterized your look!
gorgeous! I love the peacoat you've got on here! I really like how you've layered the sweater and skirt. it's pretty cold here right now and I'm always looking for ways to layer and mix up the wardrobe!
Same here! I feel like I can be really boring with my outfits because I am so sick of winter. This helped!

you are so beautiful! I love your skin! GORGEOUS outfit too!
Oh, just had an inspiration. I have oodles of maxi dresses, but hate them. If I chop them down, et voila nice long skirts. Thanks.
This is perfect! the weather has been sooooo wet around here lately…I think a skirt would be unwise. But I’m filing this away for another day!
Pretty skirt! Love it styled for cooler weather with the sweater!

I love maxi skirts for those same reasons — hello feeling like I’m wearing pajamas!
I love the cowl neckline and jacket combination – so comfy and cozy. You’re looking gorgeous as usual girlfriend

Thank you Esther!
This is such a cute outfit! I love maxi skirts too, they’re so fun. I don’t tend to find ones I like, which is a pity, but I definitely love seeing them on other people. This is such a cute one, especially the way it pairs with your sweater.

Adorable! This is a fun twist to the maxi dress – I never know how to wear them in winter but this is adorable.
Isn’t That Charming.
Sweaters and belts are super easy and it works! I’ve worn a couple other maxi skirts and dresses this way
Really I’m loving your blog.
It’s amazing!
Your style is perfect and you’re an inspiration.

That skirt is from Goodwill???? No freaking way!!! I love it. And girl, how do you keep your skin so flawless????
It sure is! I know, I love finding amazing things at Goodwill
I don’t feel so bad for shopping all the time then 
Also… years and years of covering up blemishes
I have struggled with acne for years, so I have spent a good deal of money finding the RIGHT products for me! Anyway, long story short… makeup has been my best friend for years 
And we took pictures right before sunset… very flattering light 
Your sweater looks so cozy! I love how you paired it with a maxi skirt!
