This skirt makes me feel so feminine and is the focal point of this look. The flowy pleating along with the pink foil color scream romance for me. Another versatile piece that can be styled with pumps or Adidas. I chose to wear these Dior inspired slingback heels I found after days of searching for my size! Kitten heels are often a fashion faux pas but these beauties get a pass.  I would suggest looking into Zara’s fall shoe collection because they have some bangers this year.

I intended on taking photos of this look at my local sunflower field, however, by the time I finally had a minute to go, they were all picked…nonetheless, enjoy the look

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…

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!
