I've been tempted lately by the new high-low skirt and dress styles. And I kept feeling guilty about it, mostly because of the
GFY girls' scathing comments about
"mullet" dresses. But, I had a brain flash the other night when I was looking at a magazine. I like this style not because I want a short front, but because I want a skirt back that covers the entire area I'm sitting on when I sit down. I don't really want to have to worry about being careful when I sit, to make sure that my skirt hasn't ridden up my thighs to crotch level. It's not really that I'm super modest, I'm just overly lazy and often cold.
This is a style that is just coming in, and my beloved Simple Be doesn't have one yet. Grr. Others that give you an idea of what I mean:

What do you guys think of this look? Luckily, it's simple enough that when we get Jen's sewing machine set up, she could conceivably hem a skirt I already have for me to try out the look.
I think it's a fun look that could be styled many ways. Would love to see you try it! :)
ReplyDeleteI was never particularly interested when I saw this look before--I love the idea, but the visual of it less-so? Although a somewhat-dramatic asymmetry at least makes it clear that it's intentional and not just sloppy hemming. And the color of that Dorothy Perkins skirt has me entranced...

I LOVE this look so much!
ReplyDeleteI've been searching for a skirt like this, but no luck so far... the Dorothy Perkins one is especially pretty, such a shame they don't produce it in more sizes :(
As soon as I find one, you better believe I'll snatch it up and post it!
