I was a little hesitant to try the midi skirt at first– I’m only 5’5, which means this girl accepts sometimes she’s not tall enough to pull off every trend.
But you never know until you try, so I found this ASOS skirt and pulled the trigger. Great weight– it has a bit of heft to it, which will keep the skirt from blowing up over my head on blustery Kansas City afternoons. It also has a lovely twirl-factor and pockets. Instant fan, right here. Trying it on allowed me to immediately determine I wasn’t a midi-skirt-and-flats kind of girl. Being 5’5 strikes again. Pumps it is!
Tucked a simple white v-neck into the skirt, cinched it with a mint-colored patent belt, and broke in my new bright coral Zara pumps.
Quite a ladylike outfit, no?

You look awesome! I love a skirt with a good twirl factor. I’ve been a little leery about the midi-skirt trend too, but after seeing this I think I’ll have to try it out!

This outfit rocks! Like you, I’ve been super hesitant to wear midi skirts (I’m several inches still shorter than you haha). So maybe someday I will but I know it will definitely be with heels!
I need to try a midi skirt. Honestly, I’d probably get a black one like yours since it would match with everything!
Love the look especially the black skirt
