When I decided to start this blog, I was very anxious because I know I have to get out of my comfort zone: First is posting for photos; Second is keeping an open mind. I like shopping a lot but there are certain styles I would have never imagined myself trying them on. Believe it or not, I just purchased my very first midi skirt not too long ago. I don’t wear skirts a lot; even I do I mostly wear my knee-length pencil skirts because of work. I always thought I am too short to carry midi skirts. Until I found this midi, which I wore for this post, everything changed. Ever since that day I am looking forward to wearing my midi skirt whenever I can.

Midi skirts have been very popular for the past while. If you are tired of your mini skirts and maxi skirts, then a midi can be a happy medium. Depends on the cut of the skirt, a midi usually hits right below the knee or a little longer on the mid-calf. I am petite so most midi skirts are longer on me. It can be a little harder to pull a midi skirt off if the style is not right. That’s why it is very important to find the right one for yourself so you can look trendy all the time. It’s true that midi skirts tend to draw more attention to the calf, which is the thickest part of the legs. So when trying on midi, pay attention on your height as well as the shape of your legs. When it comes to midi skirts, you have choices from fitted ones to flared ones. I personally like the more fitted midi because it is snug around the hips and thighs, which creates a more sleek look and doesn’t make me look even shorter or stumpy.

If you are looking for a new midi skirt, think about getting a whole new outfit to give yourself a new look. Depends on your midi is more snug fitted or more A-lined/umbrella shaped, you can get many different looks with just a simple midi. Midi looks great with just a t-shirt; it’s simple and casual but chic and cute. With Spring is around the corner, midi skirts would go great with chopped tops/tees or tight tank tops. Use your midi to help you get the perfect outfits for work or weekend. If your midi skirt is more flared/flowy, pair it with a button down or a chambray shirt tucked in would give a glam look. If your midi skirt is more fitted, go with a light sweater would help you balance the more dressy look of the skirt. And of course it would never hurt to wear your skirt with a pair of heels since it’s always nice to add extra length in your legs to make your midi look even better!
