Summer has finally arrived, which means sunny days spent at the beach and pool are on the horizon. Hopefully, you've already found a flattering swimsuit to wear this season, but if you're still on the hunt for a cute cover-up to wear with it, Amazon shoppers may have found just what you're looking for. 

The Chuangdi Sarong Wrap Skirt has racked up nearly 5,000 five-star reviews, with multiple reviewers calling it a "must-have" for the beach or pool. The sarong is one-size-fits-all thanks to its long ties that make it adjustable for different shapes and sizes. 

Shoppers love how soft and comfortable the cover-up is against their skin and say that the material dries quickly if it gets wet. But their favorite part seems to be its versatility. The flattering sarong can be worn as a wrap skirt, a dress, and even as a cute top, depending on how you tie it. 

Buy It! Chuangdi Sarong Wrap Skirt Two-Pack, $10.99; amazon.com

"The perfect cover up," said one reviewer. "I love these!! I always buy cover ups that are full body, but it's nice to have this one to just cover part of my stomach and hips."

"I've worn these skirts countless times since I purchased them," wrote another. They are great cover ups, just the right amount of sheer and super lightweight! Very flattering on my body and I like that I can tie it to any size I want!"

Perhaps the best part? The sarong is affordable too. Seriously, you can buy a two-pack for only $11. There are 17 different color combinations to choose from, meaning you can buy enough options to match all your swimsuits this summer without breaking the bank.

MCCSC adult ed grad designs skirt worn by Deb Haaland at ceremony - The Herald-Times

talu.indah.link

Connie Shakalis  |  Special to the H-T

Deb Haaland became the 54th secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior March 18, and she wore a ribbon skirt made by Agnes Woodward at her swearing in.

Woodward, a tribal member of the Plains Cree as well as a past Indiana resident, is a graduate of the Monroe County Community School Corp.'s Adult Education program at the Broadview Learning Center.

Haaland is a citizen of the Laguna Pueblo in New Mexico. She is the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet secretary. Vice President Kamala Harris officiated at the ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building in Washington, D.C.

As Haaland took her oath, she wore Woodward's ribbon skirt, bursting with horizontal rainbow colors, a butterfly and ears of corn clinging to their stalk. A ribbon skirt uses an A-line design and is layered with (usually) satin ribbons.

Woodward, a self-taught seamstress from Kawacatoose First Nation (Saskatchewan, Canada), made the garment, one of many she has created as a full-time advocate for the Three Affiliated Tribes’ victim service center.

Woodward's aunt — Eleanor Ewenin — was murdered in 1982. In Ewenin's memory, Woodward started making skirts to represent missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, making a similar skirt for Woodward's mother.

While representing a New Mexico district in the U.S. House of Representatives, Haaland introduced a bill in 2019 centered on missing and murdered Indigenous women. According to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women, the U.S. Department of Justice said American Indian women's murder rates exceed the national average by more than 10 times. First Nations and Native American girls, women and transgender people are victims of violence at a greater rate than most other groups in both the U.S. and Canada.

The Cree Indians are a large tribe of Native Americans living in parts of North America, including the Rocky Mountain and areas along the Atlantic Coast. As with other Native tribes, the Cree Indians have several bands, and between Canada and the United States, there are approximately 200,000 Cree Indians.

Saskatchewan, where Woodward is from, is the only province in Canada without a natural border. Its rivers, reservoirs and 100,000 lakes mean that nearly one tenth of the province is water. Chief Kawacatoose signed a treaty in1874 and in 1876 received a reserve in the Big Touchwood Hills. His son Tawequasequape later became chief, and members began to farm with supplies obtained from the treaty. 

Woodward's design for Haaland's skirt represents Haaland's pueblo. Haaland selected two butterflies from Woodward's previous work. The stars, with points, serve as Woodward's signature.

Woodward's past teacher at the Broadview Learning Center, Chris Harmon, said he found Woodward to be intelligent and diligent. 

"Agnes came in a very hard worker, but nervous. She is very smart and was able to learn the material quickly, but she had a lot of holes in her knowledge," he said.  

Woodward spent about four months in the MCCSC program in 2017 and accumulated about 125 class hours before passing her test. She and her family now live in South Dakota.

"We help our students earn their High School Equivalency Diploma ... and prepare for college entrance exams," Harmon said.

Watch the ceremony

Secretary Haaland's swearing-in, as she wears Woodward's art, can be seen on Youtube at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oRNo6o2gQ14 and was live-streamed on Somáh Haaland’s Instagram account.

If you didn't have time to shop during Amazon Prime Day for summer must-haves, you don't have to worry! Amazon is still dropping so many deals on comfy, breezy clothing that'll be perfect for 80-degree weather, and the Merokeety Boho Midi Skirt is one that should be on your radar. The "stunning" long skirt is currently on sale with a hidden 15 percent-off coupon, bringing the price down to just $27. 

Loose and breezy, the Merokeety Boho Midi Skirt will easily become your new summer go-to. After all, it has five-star ratings from over 1,000 shoppers who absolutely love it - one even calls it a "fun staple on a casual hot summer day."

Buy It! Merokeety Boho Midi Skirt, $26.34 with coupon (orig. $30.99); amazon.com

The skirt has a comfortable, stretchy elastic waistband that reviewers say holds the skirt up well. However, if you want a bit more room, people advise sizing up. What's nice about the waist is that, in addition to staying put while you're out and about, the elastic also creates a cinching effect, giving you an A-line skirt appearance that shoppers love. Another bonus? People say it's designed with a hidden liner to prevent it from being see-through. 

"[I'm] really impressed by the skirt. Super glad I decided to just pull the trigger and order it," writes an Amazon reviewer. "The elastic band is super stretchy; you can wear it pulled up high-waisted or down lower if you please. Really pretty fabric, and [it's] not see-through at all. Going to order it in some more colors. Great for hot summer days."

And when it comes to bohemian style, the Merokeety skirt has it all. On top of its loose fit, the long skirt has a tiered design with a ruffle hemline that's so cottagecore-esque. Oh, and it comes in 17 boho floral prints in every color from blue to purple to peach. Gotta love options! In fact, shoppers love the skirt so much that they're buying it in multiple styles. One reviewer even says they are "buying one in every color."

"I absolutely adore this skirt," writes another. "It's just the perfect length, [and it's] not too thick so you won't get too hot in the summer as well. I like clothing items that I can wear to work as well as in my free time, and this is perfect for that. 10/10 for me!"

For a summer wardrobe staple that's easy to dress up or down and comfy for all-day wear, shop the Merokeety Boho Midi Skirt while it's 15 percent off on Amazon.

Is It Possible to Make a Denim Midi Skirt Not Ugly? - Jezebel

talu.indah.link

Screenshot: YouTube

Once every decade or so, the fashion soothsayers at clothing magazines prophecy the return of the 1980s and ’90s mom-standard denim skirt to cultural relevance, a prophecy that heretofore has been incorrect outside paparazzi photos of people like Katie Holmes, who is very tall and rich and therefore able to wear skirts the rest of us shouldn’t. However, in the past few weeks, the unthinkable has happened: the stylish people of Los Angeles have declared the denim midi skirt actually back by wearing them.

And as a result, the still-more unthinkable has also happened—I kind of want one? But is there any way for a not particularly stylish, not particularly tall, and not particularly young person to wear the sort of straight denim skirt that hits about mid-calf without looking like a harried farmwife with three children and a terrible husband from a movie about someplace dusty?

As I peruse my options on sites like Nordstrom or even Saks Fifth Avenue, I am concerned the answer is no. For example, what are these boots? Why is this top all ruffly? Surely these pockets are a mistake? And yet I wonder: what if no belt, black or white tank top, and rubber Birkenstock flip flops? Am I then cool mid-to-late 30-year-old just running to Gelson’s for some rosé or am I doomed to farm mom in perpetuity?

Screenshot: Saks Fifth Avenue (Other)

Here is a simpler, more straightforward denim number from my retail frenemy Free People, a company built upon the business model of exclusively selling clothing that seems like a good idea at the time but in retrospect is probably not. Obviously, I could not style this with a giant ranch hand coat, unbuttoned button-down and exposed sports bra because I live in Los Angeles which is also where the sun lives. I also believe that bra as a shirt is only theoretically a great outfit decision, while in practice generally find that it makes me simply look like I forgot to button my blouse. And yet, I very much want to wear this with a plain white Hanes tee and a pair of Chuck Taylors. Will that just make me look like the scene from Overboard where Goldie Hawn gets the pies glued to her hands? Do I want to look like the scene from Overboard where Goldie Hawn gets the pies glued to her hands? Fuck. Maybe.

Can someone please help me? Are these skirts okay or have I officially become harried-mom years old?
