Sometimes age-appropriate casual chic can be a tough call to shop for... a FocusOnStyle reader shares how to work around it...  Thanks for the article/photos on Susan Sarandon.

Fashion Advice- How to Find A Stylish Swimsuit Cover Up

It can be tricky to find a swim suit cover up, but it doesn't have to be with these style tips... There seems to be two schools of thought on swimsuit cover-ups: the sheer and sexy or the short-shorts and terry. So what's a chic beach babe to do when she feels that running around in a one-off negligee or a kiddy romper is just too-too to suit her style needs? Well, go crazy. No, no, that's why I'm here.

Stylist Advice- How to wear an unstructured maxi skirt

How should I wear this Pins and Needles Chiffon Maxi Skirt from Urban Outfitters?
