When I think of summer..I think of watermelon, days at the beach, water pistols, sand between my toes, cocktails by the pool, carefree, fun and rockin' good festivals!
Festivals are hot, steamy hot and the whole less is more approach is a no brainer.
But wearing less to combat the heat while still looking fabulous can sometimes be a feat.
We all know Forever New as the perfect place to stock up on all things girly.
They specialise in feminine to the max with their dainty pieces, but you will be surprised to know that Forever New can also do relaxed, casual and breezy perfect for your summertime outings...
Festival outfit sorted, tick!
You'll be glad to know that Forever New have now added swimwear to their gorgeous collections,
so for the new season I know where I'll be heading...
Today I am showing how versatile this Valleygirl paperbag waisted maxi skirt is.
My previous video post showed how to style this gorgeous garment for day,
and tonight I wanted to show how easily it can be transformed into an outfit you can wear out after dark.
You certainly don't need to find the exact same other pieces I am wearing,
but I do suggest sticking to a fitted top that can be tucked into the skirt,
a bold statement necklace and matching clutch, belt and shoes.
You can really jazz it up any way you like,
but by sticking to these key elements you will have yourself a super slick pm look.

Can you smell the hints of summer starting to trickle into the air?
As each day passes I feel it getting abundantly closer and closer.
And as the sunshine and warmth start to heat up our lives
so does our purse strings with the workout of our credit cards and cash.
But I have good news for you!
Even you, who thinks there is no way you'll be able to afford a new wardrobe, think again...
As I am the bargain queen, the budget babe, the one who can show YOU how to look fabulous for less.
'Hey, I don't call this series rich little poor girl for no reason'!
Shopping for each new season is so much fun,
especially right now considering the freedom of choices we have when it comes to colour.
I adore mixing, matching and contrasting these bright hues against each other to create a bold statement.
I am particularly enjoying today's outfit as it not only embraces a confident and chic persona,
but it is all so comfortable and breezy to wear, a perfect spring/summer staple.
At amazingly affordable prices, you too can steal this head to toe look for around $150!
