My first version of the skirt was "midi" length which is what all the hip people are wearing these days.
The rayon challis is cool and soft, and this skirt was a pleasure to wear. But when I uploaded the photos, I decided that "midi" looks more "middle-aged" on me than "young and hip." Especially since I am unwilling to wear five inch heels on a regular basis. There is nothing wrong with a more conservative look, but I am still pretending I'm not yet middle-aged (shush, you). Knee-length just feels more flattering and comfortable for me.
When it comes to skirt length, I know what I like, and I generally stick to it. (Some things don't change.)
So I chopped a half-foot off of this skirt. Not a huge difference, really, but it got me to my "comfort zone." I'm much more likely to wear this on a regular basis now. (Sorry about the glare in these photos - you can tell these were taken at a different time of day, huh?)
Do you have a favorite hem length? Or do you roll with the trends?.
I don't roll with trends because I never know what the trends are! (I'm avant-garde that way.)Your skirt is lovely at both lengths, but the shorter length does suit you better (and, am I mistaken, or does it even hang a bit better at that length?). You look so nice -- I really like your bangs!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, yeah, I think I probably would be unhappy with a midi length too...thank length does seem a bit "middle aged"... love it as a knee length skirt! :)
ReplyDeleteoh i totally agree with you on the skirt length - and i loved the post you linked to from a couple of years ago - it made me laugh! and your bangs/fringe is back!
ReplyDeleteOoo had I seen the shorter version? I like it much more. Totally different skirt. (I also like the shirt)
ReplyDeleteI like it shorter:) I don't mind longer skirts, but I agree with the makes you (in general) look older thought. Though I am not a fan of too short either, I think you hit it just right.
