I hope your week is going well!  

I picked up this skirt during the last Piperlime sale and can't rave about it enough (especially as it is under $30 right now).  I was a little nervous about the midi trend as I'm pretty short (5'2 and hence my collection of heels). However, I've found a few ways to make it work for me.  I had the skirt hemmed to hit right below the knee (my definition of a midi skirt), and am wearing nude heels to elongate my (short) legs.  I also kept my look monochromatic on top.   By doing these three things, I found that the midi skirt is actually quite flattering and I might pick up a few more (especially if I find them under $30!).

Have you embraced the midi skirt trend?

  10. What a beautiful skirt! Love addition of the denim jacket, because you can easily transform the look into sometime more casual but dressy at the same time - You look gorgeous!

  15. I am a shortie too (5'4") and love midi skirts. I have worn them both with heels and flats and it seems okay as long as my top is not loose fitting. What a great find!
