It’s been a while since I wore a midi skirt. I was hoping to get in shape a little before I pulled on one of these tricksters but then again with all the traveling and late night snacks(sigh), if I do wait it will probably never see the light of the day :P. So I bravely paired it with a bright yellow tee and tan sandals! I only wishย it were a little more flattering to my waist butย I guess I’ll have think of that when I reach for a second serving of dessert ๐Ÿ˜‰ ย Enjoy the rest of your week and make the most of the long weekend americans!! ๐Ÿ˜€ย IMG_6259 IMG_6260 IMG_6264 IMG_6265 IMG_6262

midiA toast is in order for the very fact that I have managed to wear my wedges after about 9 months! ๐Ÿ˜€ Let me also call your attention to my midi skirt which I have successfully avoided wearing for the unflattering effect it has on my body type.. But then I thought.. how bad can it be ๐Ÿ˜‰ Right??

It’s Tea Time :)

I love skirts … The fitted sheath, the flattering A line, the mini pleated style, the high low version( I’d probably give the mini skirt a miss)……and now I have found yet another skirt to obsess over – The MIDI/ TEA length skirt( thanks in part to mad men i am guessing). It is a little tricky to get it right, but you might want to give it a try seeing how many things it can do for you – A lady like demeanor, plenty of movement and obviously a great alternative for those not blessed with thin pins:) Here are a few things to keep in mind before buying yours.

1. Length is key – both your legs’ and the skirts’. Taller women can get away with pretty much any length, but shorter ones( like me) should make sure the skirt hits just below the knee and not lower. 2. Create a focal point: Emphasis your natural waistline and create some curves by using a belt. If that isn’t your strong point, use a piece of statement jewelry – a chunky necklace to move the eye in a different direction.3. Stay Well – heeled: I dont wear heels unless I have to and give them a miss everytime I can. ๐Ÿ™‚ But as some one who’s only 5’4″ the midi skirt warrants some added height, pair your skirt with a pair of comfortbale wedges or pumps. Remember ankle straps don’t do anything for this look.4. Play with the volume: Wearing midi skirts that are too voluminous can make you look squat especially when your body type isn’t a model’s. Doesn’t mean you need to skirt the issue ๐Ÿ˜› simply choose a less voluminous variety/ fewer gathers/ pleats around the waistline. 5. Choose the tops wisely:Solid tops or mini prints are the best bet – with a little bit of drape or a simple knit tee. In case you want to go in for larger prints, make sure your skirt is a solid neutral. Light layers can also add interest to the look
