After watching the videos for Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2011 and drooling over all the ads for the brightly colored maxi skirt I decided I should give the maxi skirt a try.

Lanvin SS2011 Ad for Neiman Marcus

Knowing fully well that I can’t afford the Lanvin one I decided to hunt down the perfect maxi skirt available in my price range or somewhere close to it. To be honest I still feel I’m about 30cm too short to wear a maxi skirt confidently, but I’m brave enough to give it a try.  Here are a couple of skirts that I found and I think they do the job for POP of color, fit and budget.

Here is the Lanvin skirt…

Lanvin SS2011 Maxi Skirt

and here are the options I found so far from Zara and Anthropologie…

Zara Long Crepe Skirt in Strawberry $39.99CAD

Anthropologie Lengthening Rays Skirt in Pink $128USD

Even though I love these bright shades I’m looking for a nice green color maxi skirt as well, like the one from Michael Kors’s SS2011 collection. I’ll keep searching till I find the one that checks off all the boxes. Color, fit and budget!
