A sexy maxi skirt

Confession: I don’t love my legs. I mean, they’re fine but fairly unremarkable. That said, it’s nearly impossible to avoid short skirts and dresses in the summer since the sweltering humidity makes anything heavier feel like torture. But I have a new idea for summer party attire: a floor-length skirt that’s super thin and has daring front and back slits—to keep it mercifully more breathable. This way I get show a little skin without putting my legs on full display. Worn with a simple white tank and black studded stilettos, this might just be my most flattering hot weather silhouette.
