Julianne Hough was once again spotted taking her nieces, Paris and Skye, out for a fun day in sunny California.

The 24-year-old ballroom dancer bought the girls drinks at Starbucks and then went for a stroll with them. They later headed to a salon where all three had their hair done.

The dancer-and-singer-turned-actress accentuated the casual, breezy afternoon in her choice of clothing, taking a double-slit maxi skirt in floral-printed chiffon and dressing it up with a cropped button-down chambray top, a pair of embellished t-strap flat sandals, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a Celine “Phantom” bag — a perfect outfit for a laid-back yet chic summer afternoon.

This look made us obsessed with double-slit maxi skirts for summer (as if one-slit flowy maxis weren’t enough). A full-length slit tends to do wonders for elongating a leg, so it is only logical that we take the fashion saying “more is more” and apply it to maxi skirts.

In choosing slitted skirts, keep a close eye on the slit height and distance. We, ladies, must consistently keep things fun yet functional and classy. Julianne’s adorable summer skirt has already sold out:
