The Midi Skirt


Shoe:Occasion Ratio

There’s so much to be said about the perfect midi skirt. The versatility is matchless as a different shoe can change the trajectory of your look. My current favorites to pair with my midi skirts consist of a closed toe pump for work, an open toe sandal for date night/evening, slides for brunch, and tennis for Saturday errands. 

Designer vs Standard

Through my shopping conquests both in store and online I have noticed the difference in midi skirt length given price point, designer, etc. I prefer a midi skirt that hits right below the knee to the shin area and it seems that only designer or higher priced skirts fit that description. A standard  (non designer) midi at best will come directly below the knee. Am I the only one who’s noticed this? For example, here is a standard JCrew midi skirt…notice length


Skirt: JCrew

…now observe this midi skirt from JCrew Collection, a higher end designer-like sector of the brand…


Skirt: JCrew

Do you see my plight!? I don’t know why this is but it seems that the standard midi skirts I purchase rarely come in the correct “midi” length (that perfect below knee to shin range) 

Current Selections

As frustrating as this can be fortunately this seasons fashion has taken a slight shift. I have discovered several purse-friendly “perfect length” midis that I wanted to share!


Nordstrom: Chelsea28


Zara


JCrew


ASOS

And finally, the perfect designer midis that are currently out of my price range but won’t be for long 😏 Gucci everything


NOTICE THE LENGTHS! I’m just sayin…lol

How are you styling your midi skirts this season? Let me know in the comments!

Today’s look features a few year old western denim dress I caught on super sale at Asos. In college I was a faithful Asos shopper but since have fallen off, I have recently rediscovered the gem because you really can’t beat the prices AND free shipping…Topped the look off with my denim JCrew jacket because the weather is a little more chilly than it has been and my grungy old converse. It seems the older they get, the more I love them.
