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?

Wow, you look gorgeous! I would probably have to wear it with pumps only, too- I’m only 5 foot 2!

I love the way you styled this! Simple but really fun!
So pretty, Ashley!
Have fun at GBS!
I’m seriously obsessed with this outfit! I LOVE midi skirts but I’m SO short I just don’t think I can pull it off. Even with heels 🙁 You totally are rocking it though, I’m loving those red pumps with it!

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS SKIRT!
You look so pretty- especially with the high pony! It’s retro, but not. Somehow. You know what I mean. 😉
Gorgeous!
Such a cool skirt and I love those shoes! Wow! Brights are great for spring. 🙂
I love this trend! I have a few mid skirts in my closet and I wear them all the time! So pretty and girly- which I love.
Loving this!
I’m shorter than you are and I was hesitant as well, but you’re making me want to try it!

Awesome outfit, you look beautiful. 😀
You are NOT SHORT! Haha- I’m 5’1!
I have been avoiding the midi skirt for the same reason- I worry it’s going to make my legs look completely sawed off, LOL. But maybe with a good pair of platform pumps, I’d be okay?
Great post!
PSH PLEASE. You are like 1″ taller than me but you carry yourself like you are 6′ 9″ so that is all that really matters!
IF ONLY I WERE 6’9! 😉
You look so cute, Ashley! I hope you have a great time at Go Blog! I’ve heard it’s a cool conference. You’re lucky it’s in your hometown! 🙂
Great post!
You look so cute, I love midi skirts they are so ladylike.
Oh the possibilities!!! You look great, I love it.
Loving this, Ashley! So pretty!
Lovely!
I love this! It’s so cute and girly! Perfect!
Oh my gosh you look AMAZING in this skirt! I’m 5’5 too, and love all the midi skirts on ASOS. This hits you at the perfect length, and looks gorgeous with red heels!
The midi skirt looks great on you and you styled it perfectly! I’m so hesitant to try the midi skirt for the same reason (I’m only 5’2″), but they are just so darn pretty!

You look great and the midi skirt is great on you! I really like the midi skirts, but I’m only 5’2 so I totally understand trying one that still looks good on us shorter gals.

I can’t wait to see you this weekend! And I also can’t wait to see what you WEAR. I have nothing and had a minor meltdown about it last night.
This outfit looks so amazing on you 🙂

Great look Ash!
Those pumps are to die for! I love Zara’s shoe selection lately- so on point!
SO cute! I love the midi skirt trend but I haven’t been able to find any I like in store and I’m afraid to order it online haha.
