Return to Midi Skirts

Remember the old days, when the super feminine/cute/vintage thing was going strong, when everyone was rocking peter pan collars, tasseled loafers and bird printed, empire waisted dresses??? That was also the time when midi skirts suddenly popped op again after being way outta style for like, at least two or three seasons. I blame all of it on Mad Men, by the way. Well, blame is a strong word, I enjoyed myself quite a bit during those halcyon days of twee.

But then everyone grew up/moved on/was enticed to spend their money on new trends, and I sort of rediscovered the fact that my legs are way too good to cover them up with midi skirts all the time.

HOWEVER, I'm like almost 30 now (in three years) and doesn't that mean I should be getting into respectable style? NO, but it does mean that I now have more cash, and I like spending that cash, and one thing I spent that cash on is this midi skirt. I think a nice, thick, black midi skirt can be a great wardrobe staple for the colder months if you like a feminine, elegant look from time to time. This skirt is perfect for the office, and I love the way it falls. Too many affordable skirts are flimsy and crappy, and this one is not. Find it here, btw, but it's only available in grey right now.
