A: SO. Paris fashion week and midi skirts are apparently really actually going to be a thing:
A: Also, this is the best thing I’ve seen in a while, (aside from Anna Wintour dumping a bucket of ice water on her head*):
L: I really hate that I love how these skirts look on very tall, thin people.
A: Well, sure. But what about the rest of us? Won't you take me to…Dumptytown?
L: This is how fashion fails happen. Because these girls make it look so cute. You think, "Well. MAYBE....if I just found the *right* mid-calf length skirt, I could pull it off?"
A: Nope. NOPE.
L: But like, what if it fell just right? And I lost 30 pounds? And got a boob reduction?
A: Lili, honey.
L: THE HEART WANTS WHAT IT WANTS!
A: Okay! Okay. Go ahead and wear your midi skirt but don't come weeping to me when it makes you look like Laura Ingalls.
L: What if! What if I wear some sky high platforms with it to make it LOOK like I have much, much longer legs?
A: Um.
L: You're not buying it.
A: #Nope
*Thanks Katie!
That is a man in the pink dress, right?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same thing. Also, is she/he wearing socks with pumps or a sock/pump combo?
DeleteAw, you guys! That's Anna Dello Russo. I like her kooky spirit.
DeleteI just bought a midi skirt at Nordstrom (thanks to Kendi http://www.kendieveryday.com/2014/09/killin-it.html). Do I need to burn it now??
ReplyDeleteNo! Of course not, wear what you like. I just find this length...challenging.
DeleteIt is challenging, but it also look very Now! I have to admit that I'm jealous of those who can get away with a midi and a crop top.
DeleteNo crop top for me, but I do like the skirt. I will admit it probably makes my hips look wider than normal, but oh well.
DeleteI actually bought a midi skirt for exactly for the fashion fail reason you mentioned. I know perfectly well I don't have the build for it and yet it looked ok, sort of.
ReplyDeleteYay! This is exactly how I feel about jumpsuits. It feels like it should be so wrong, and sometimes it just works.
DeleteI can wear midis no problem, but now you know exactly how I felt during the reign of terror known as "skinny leg pants."
ReplyDeleteAhahahaaa. So much YES to this!
DeleteHA!! Reign of Terror is an excellent, excellent way to describe it.
DeleteExactly! Death to skinny jeans, long live the long skirt!
DeleteMidi skirt with tall boots is cute in a 1970s kind of way.
ReplyDeleteAnna D.R., there's a fine line between kooky and tragic.
