《 Outfit 》Sky Blue | Plaid midi skirt and Lace-Up Pumps

I was never a fan of the midi skirt until I tried them on last year.

I am a petite girl and I try to avoid outfits and patterns that may make me look shorter. For that reason, I usually gravitate towards mini skirts or long maxi skirts. Midi skirts however have been the hot "it" item the past few seasons and there are some interestingly beautiful variations and patterns out there.

I recently decided to give midi skirts a chance and tried out some of the latest iterations out there and it has become a central piece to many of my favorite looks. I got this plaid midi skirt from Topshop, and no, this is not another one of those floating skirts that Im used to wearing. The fabric is thick but not heavy and it creates a really cute structured look.

For all you girls out there that are small in stature like me, I'd like to suggest that you try matching this dress with a crop-top and some heels to balance out the silhouette. I, however tried a different approach to pair up with this midi skirt. I used an old one-piece dress I had lying around as the top and it worked out pretty well.

I encourage everyone to dig into your closets and pair up some old items with your new pieces. Try out some different variations. You may be surprised by what turns out.

Have fun and stay chic!
