This particular photo of Ashley Olsen has been in my mind for a good two months, all the while willing me to make a heather grey maxi skirt of my own. Now that I've got a bit more free time on my hands I gave it a go this morning. It's kind of perfect with this powder blue Clu tee I picked up at Frances May yesterday afternoon. Portlanders, definitely check this store out. They carry Rachel Comey, Alexander Wang, Clu, Duskin and APC to name a few. Here's the link to their online shop too.

camille, you are fantastic. like an asian jil sander. :)
oooh looks AMAZING. So elegant and classic.
What a beautiful shade of grey! Nice skirt :)
Looks great :) good job!
Gorgeous skirt!
That is lovely. I probably should get on my projects, too. Might add this one. =)
i love this color palette! the skirt looks amazing on you--perfect shape and perfect length.
Mmhmm that's really gorgeous. Especially the pose of the last photo, kind of Jazz Age-esque. Very elegant.
Looking at what Livvy said above... are you asian?
Your take on Ashley's look is simply amazing. The fit looks perfect on you.
Adorable.

PS: I'm totally jealous of your design and sewing skills
i feel like we rarely see you in skirts, but it looks amazing on you and i definitely want to copy this look!
xxo
Clever girl.... great to see people willing to have a go at their own clothes (and succeed!)
you should definitely sell these skirts in your store...
i like your version better. its so formfitting but i like the flare on the bottom. gives you such a nice hourglass figure.
like a statue.
amazing look!!
♥
Oh my! I love it! You look amazing in it! I think I may have to give this a try myself! Did you just use a stretch cotton jersey? And cut it pretty much straight down or did you taper it?

I loveee this combo. And I secretly like yours better than Smashley's :]
Will you give us a DIY post on it pleaseeee??
super elegant. you wear this beautifully!
Yes Please do a DIY cause this is soooooooo gorgeous and simple and just perfect!!! LOVE!
xo querido
The skirt on it's own is great, but it really is enhanced by that pocket tee ! :)
I'm onn tonight myy hips don't lieee.
Yeah, thats what I instantly thought of when I saw this. This looks great on you!
You are so extremely talented at DIY. Great skirt. This simple outfit looks amazingly chic and the skirt just so suits you! Jealous? me? VERY. (^_^)
hot, lady. hot.
lovely!!! You did an amazing job!! I am intersted in seeing what you will pair with it... does it look good with sandals, dr martens, or chuck taylors? I always wanted to try it with frye moto boots and a concert tee and a cardi or moto jacket or a hoodie (unzipped/ un buttoned)
That skirt fits you perfectly! Beautiful! :)
i second the anon comment above. i have no sewing experience, and being a single mother, i have no time to learn. please sell these, if you have the time to make more. that would be amazing.

Beautiful skirt and length!
that skirt is perfect!
Either give us a diy or make some for us hahahah
:) i wouldn't know the first thing about starting something like this
http://aforteforfashion.blogspot.com
It looks wonderful, so ladylike. x
mm so understated and sexy at the same time. love!
ah, that tee is so perfect! you look adorable
that skirt is fabulous! good job on it (:
Am loving the soft pastel palette! And I love heather/marle grey...thanks for sharing the online shop! :)

you know, I for a long time hated anything below the knee, but those Olsen's do have a way of changing my mind about things, hehe. I guess I'd just never seen it not in prom dress form before them, ya know?
anyway, you look fantastic, make me one? hehe
tutorial prease for the sewing impaired.
I've always admired Ashley's long skirt outfits as well. You look incredibly chic
Can't wait that summer comes so I can wear my black long skirt with gladiators. Although maybe I should get a grey one too 'cos yours looks cute.
excellent job. i love love love maxi skirts.
I think it actually looks a lot better on you than MK. Nice one.
I love this outfit! the skirt is fabulous.
wow, this turned out amazingly!
I love it! Is it jersey or plain heavyweight cotton?
it looks amazing i cant believe you made it!!! i dont think i could ever rock a long skirt but you totally can
i love how it fits you like a glove. such a classic.
It's beautiful!
it fits you perfectly!
Wow, it's way nicer on you than MK! I really wish I could make something like this!
the cut is interesting. i like how yours is tighter at the thighs
wow! this is pretty fantasic. i love mk's version but i think yours is much better suited to spring.
btw, i love your blog. very inspring.
*ashley, excuse me!
You look amazing! and a similar summer 08 look of Ashley's has been on my mind lately as well: the black three quarter length body-con skirt she wore incessantly. Can't wait to wear mine.
xx
I have loved watching your style evolve.
Really nice! I love how it's not too loose! I want something like that in my closet! xoxoxo
glamorous!!!
such a daring look! definitely defines you...love it.
I love it even more now that I know you made it.
Hey!
I love the silhouette created by your full length skirt, very column-like.
I've (sort of) just started a blog with my sister. Would you like to exchange links? I've already added you! I'm a big fan, by the way :]
Thanks,

You look beautiful! I love the skirt.
beautiful :)
long and lean, looks amazing
you look fab and so tiny and long! =) love the gray color..you are so very talented
i love the skirt! although I think it would look better with a black shirt like ashley. I want one for myself
LOVELY LOVELY OUTFIT!
The grey colors are awesome!
... everything is awesome ;)
that is a lovely lovely skirt. though since im short, im always afraid to wear things so long that i might just melt into it. it wont be me wearing the clothes but rather the clothes wearing me. but since this skirt, and the skirt ashley is wearing looks so nice, i think im gonna find a pair. you should make some more skirts with an inseam of 27". heh.
http://cheeseintheshell.blogspot.com/
looks much better on your than it does her
That skirt is genius!

Ive never thought a maxi skirt appealing till Ashley Olsen wore one
That skirt gives such a great shape!

Just stunning :)
Love this! You're pull of maxi skirt so well. It was you who inspired me to get a black maxi skirt (which I have yet to wear). I love this look so much, it's classy with an edge.
Lovelyness!the skirt looks so good on you!I cant see the seams on the sides is there just one on the back?.. very clever, wonderful spring outfit xxx

you can look amazing in everything... i think i would get lost in a maxi skirt! ...but ash is tiny, too...hmm....
camille, would you be so kind to do more posts on shopping and/or food in portland? i am visiting from nyc in may and would love to check out some of the places portland has to offer.
Love the look and the skirt is just perfect! How hard was it to make?! DIY please?!

DIY! DIY! DIY! DIY! DIY!
i think that sums up the general consensus here.
great job on the maxi skirt!!! it has a great shape! you look fabulous in it!!
that is an amazing skirt, it does wonders for your figure
Please post a DIY on this...I will link to it on my site and my twitter...everyone needs to know about this...I LOVE the skirt!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous! Unfortunately I don't think hips and this skirt would go very well together, so I don't think this is anything us mere mortals will be able to pull off any time soon. :(
http://mirth-thehouseof.blogspot.com/
I'm also backing this for your etsy store. The skirt is gorgeously simple. I don't know if you answer questions but I certainly hope you do since I'm curious, how long did you make that skirt?
Ah this is wonderful, so elegant! Do you think you could perhaps post a tutorial?
i love the lines on this!!! looks fab on you.. what shoes do you have on?
i wear ankle length skirts like this with my 6 inch original tribs.
Oh its powder blue! Can't really see it in the photos. That skirt makes me want to start wearing maxis again. Sweet ;)
So simple but it flatters your body beautifully! I love it.

Dude, I'm pretty sure you and the olsen twins are the only ones who can pull of maxi-skirts. This looks so lovely! Better than Ashley's, I gotta say
<3<3<3

DAMN you are YOUNG!!! @ ur age I was only wearing sweatpants, I am so jealous I didn't discover fashion earlier!! :( I am sure you re gonna be quite successful!!! keep blogging... you inspire me most!!
Camille! Just a suggestion for your Etsy shop...you know how like a billion years ago you made that sling bag out of that kind of woolly material (it was the one you said accidentally got caught on the machine and became gathered)...well I was think it would be great if you made the bag for Etsy because I'd definitely buy it!! x x.

If you like Frances May you should check out Una, it's on 28th and Ankeny in SE, it is a little smaller but just as beautiful. They are tied for my favorite boutiques in Portland !
