It’s winter here and I can’t lie, this outfit wouldn’t really get a big workout on a daily basis but I wanted to have a crack at wearing a midi skirt. I think it’s a difficult length to wear, specially if you are short like me and generally need the ‘space’ if you like between your ankles and knees to be visible.
While I understand that it’s not the point of this trend to have your knees showing, I think in terms of proportion you’ve either got to have a well fitting, quite tight pencil style, or something 1950s with a lot of volume. Anything slightly A-line will just look like your skirt is too long and you can’t tell.
Do you think about proportion in your clothing? I suppose because I’m not very tall and don’t have a torso to speak of, just an hourglass waist then I think about how my clothes will sit all the time.
What I’m wearing:
Silk blouse: Atrizia, purchased in New York last year
Pencil skirt: Stitches, from Savers
All jewellery: various vintage pieces except the earrings which are H&M
Shoes: RMK
