The midi skirt

I’m not sure if it’s the transition to winter, or the back to back episodes of Mad Men I’ve been watching every night, but I’ve found myself wholeheartedly jumping behind the trend towards more modest hemlines (and an equally modest neckline). This midi – so long it’s almost maxi – skirt has been on high rotation since snagging it the other month, the length more than making up for any drop in temperature.

It would seem out of character for me to be seen in anything but a pair of heels; though honestly? I’ve taken to dashing about in my Porselli ballet flats, which almost 1 year in, have broken in splendidly if you forgive the odd scuff at the toe. But when the day is slow, and I’m in less of a rush, there’s nothing like a pair of pointed toe pumps to make a girl feel like a lady, especially with a midi skirt in tow.
