Wardrobe Wednesday - Midi Skirts
Ok ladies, this year in Wardrobe Wednesday I've highlighted the pencil skirt, the maxi skirt, and the full skirt. What is left I hear you ask.... the midi skirt of course! In my opinion this is a tricky one, but it seems those Americans are rocking the 'Midi' summer to fall, so why can't we.
What I Wore: House of Fraser nude wedges, thrifted floral midi skirt, Glassons white top, Toti flower necklace.
Cutting our legs off below the knee for many of us seems contrary to everything we know about dressing for our shape and the rule of thirds. The only way I could see to work through this shape/proportion dilemma was stick with nude shoes and make sure you have the right top to lengthen your body at the top.
I've previously done a Take 5 post with this skirt and I think the real secret is the height of the photographer/viewer. Wouldn't it would look amazing to everyone if they were 4 feet tall rather than my 6 foot husband/photographer :)
Today's Wardrobe Wednesday lady of inspiration is another long-time Linkee, Fur Earwig from the blogger known as List Addict. This is such a unique blog as each outfit post is the model Irene (a dummy shown below) vs our blogging friend.... who wore it best style. She is such a fun, quirky writer and I promise every post gets me giggling. Although this skirt is more a-line than midi, it was the best I could do to illustrate my point from last week's participants (and really I just wanted to feature her because she's cool :)
